• Develop and deliver tailored presentations and demos of our global payout solution




• Own the full sales cycle: from outbound and inbound lead generation to negotiation and closing




• Collaborate closely with Marketing, Product, and Customer Success to ensure smooth client onboarding and long-term retention




• Set up and manage sales analytics and reporting (conversion rates, pipeline health, forecast accuracy, CAC, LTV)




• Stay up to date with industry trends, international payroll regulations, and the competitive landscape




• Represent the company at industry events, conferences, and online forums

Who we’re hiring

• 5+ years of experience in business development or B2B sales in Fintech, SaaS, payments, gaming, or HR tech

Why join Kleos

• Take Sales to the next level. Build on an existing team and foundation, and shape how we scale from here.




• Make a company-level impact. Sales is a key growth priority, with direct access to founders and real influence on Kleos’ commercial strategy.




• Join at the right stage. Work with a proven global product while there is still plenty of room to shape the team, processes, and markets we grow into.




• High autonomy, low bureaucracy. Make decisions, test ideas, and turn what works into scalable growth.
