We link elite LATAM and European engineers with US clients who need high-performance talent on demand.

YOUR MISSION
Drive SOUTHWORKS’ growth in the US: land new logos, then own and grow those accounts long-term. You’ll be a hunter who brings in fresh business and a farmer who nurtures, expands, and retains it.

WHAT YOU’LL DO
Core Responsibilities

• Hunt, qualify, and close new US accounts.
• Own the full sales funnel: outreach, discovery, proposal, negotiation, contract.
• Grow client accounts over time: upsell new roles, renew contracts, identify cross-sell opportunities.

Preferred / Supporting Responsibilities

• Maintain accurate pipeline and forecasts in the CRM.
• Liaise with Marketing to refine ICPs, messaging, and demand gen.
• Ensure handoff and delivery alignment with Talent & Delivery teams.

• Proven track record of winning US clients (hunting).

• Self-driven, resilient, highly accountable.
• Preferred: Knowledge of engineering practices (cloud, DevOps, AI).
• Preferred: Background in nearshore / outsourcing / managed engineering teams.

HOW SUCCESS IS MEASURED

We keep it simple — what matters are results, not activity. Your success will be measured by two key indicators:

• Revenue & Profitability: Meeting or exceeding your annual sales targets, reviewed quarterly, while maintaining healthy margins across multiple US clients.
• Pipeline Health: Building and managing a strong, qualified pipeline that consistently supports your revenue and profitability goals.

If these stay on track, you’re winning.
