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.

• 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

• 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
