About Us

sunday is building the fastest, simplest way to pay in restaurants. With a quick scan of a QR code, diners can pay, tip, and leave in about 10 seconds. We believe great products should feel obvious, not complicated, and we focus relentlessly on keeping things simple while earning trust from restaurants and guests at every interaction. Today, sunday powers payments in thousands of restaurants across the US, UK, and France, helping operators turn tables faster, increase tips, and unlock valuable insights. We push ourselves to go beyond what’s expected, building with ownership, moving fast, and scaling with ambition as we tackle our biggest growth opportunity in the US.

About The Role

As the Sales Director East for sunday, your mission will be to build the highest-performing East US Field SMB region. You will own regional revenue performance, develop the Team Lead layer, raise AE productivity, and make the East a reliable engine for new restaurant growth.

You will report to the VP Sales US and work closely with Christine de Wendel, US CEO & co-founder, as well as our cross-functional teams. The role is based in New York, Atlanta, or Miami and requires regular travel across the East region, with hands-on coaching in the field.
