Head of Sales, North America

Join beqom - where tech meets impact

beqom is a high-growth B2B SaaS platform that helps the world’s most respected companies make pay fair, transparent, and motivating. Founded in Switzerland and serving enterprises worldwide, our all-in-one solution is built on beqom Pay Intelligence - empowering HR and business leaders to navigate the complexities of compensation, ensure compliance, and unlock the full potential of their people.

If you thrive in a fast-moving, product-led environment and love turning data into measurable results, you’ll feel right at home with us. You’ll join a smart, international marketing team where curiosity drives experimentation, and performance fuels impact.

As our North America Head of Sales, you will build and scale our sales engine. You not only own quota attainment but also shape processes, coaching, and team structure - laying the foundation for beqom’s next chapter of growth. You will operate as both a hands‑on senior salesperson (closing key deals yourself) and an operator who supports and coaches a high‑performing team. Over time you may evolve into a General Manager of the Americas, with P&L accountability.

This position can be based anywhere in the US.
