About Gazer

The United States is our next market. We're not parachuting in a product and hoping it sells - we're hiring a person who will own the market from day one, build the partner network, and shape how Gazer operates in New York and beyond.

What This Role Actually Is

A full-cycle sales position with a regional ownership mindset. You'll identify and approach targets, open doors, run the conversations, close the contracts, and then manage those accounts as the relationship grows. No handoffs halfway through - you own it start to finish.

Part of your week will be remote: coordinating with the international team, outreach, follow-ups, pipeline management. Part of it will be on the road: visiting partners, running demos, coordinating sample testing, signing deals in person.

Our target partners in the USA are automotive businesses - dealerships, importers, distributors, fleet operators - and automotive insurance companies, particularly those involved in claims and vehicle recovery.

Day-to-Day

• Identify and map target partners across New York: dealerships, auto importers, distributors, fleet operators, and insurance companies with automotive claims operations
• Cold outreach via phone, email, and LinkedIn - this is a new market and a significant part of early-stage work will be outbound
• Visit prospective partners in person: present the product, coordinate sample testing and demos, build the relationship
• Lead negotiations and close distribution or partnership agreements
• Transition closed accounts into ongoing key account management: orders, support, growth
• Report pipeline and market intelligence to the international team and senior leadership

Requirements

• 3+ years of full-cycle B2B sales experience - from cold outreach to signed contract - non-negotiable
• Proven track record of cold calling, email, and LinkedIn outreach - non-negotiable
• Readiness to work a cold market: no warm pipeline on day one, you build it
• Existing relationships at management level within automotive businesses (dealerships, importers, distributors) and/or automotive insurance companies in New York - non-negotiable; ability to provide a list of companies where you're known will be requested at interview stage
• Native-level English
• Own vehicle for partner visits; company covers fuel and wear compensation
• Willingness to travel across New York for client meetings; travel expenses covered

Good to Have

• Experience with telematics, vehicle tracking, or automotive electronics
• Existing contacts within fleet management or insurance claims departments

The Setup

• Hybrid - remote coordination + field visits across New York
• Full-time
• Based in New York, USA
• Compensation discussed individually based on experience and market expectations
