The future of work is community-driven. At Avala we believe that connecting people to dignified digital work and paying them an equitable wage can solve some of our world’s most pressing challenges. Our mission is to empower communities, ensuring the highest quality of data for our customers, and the highest quality of life for our team.

We are seeking a Head of Sales to establish and grow our global sales, design and manage our customer success operations, assemble and lead a Jedi caliber sales team, and drive strategy and execution of Avala’s marketplace and SaaS revenue.

You will hire and structure our sales and customer success teams, as well as define and implement processes and tools to accelerate our highly efficient and data‑driven organization. You need to be a hands‑on thought leader who inspires and mentors colleagues and direct reports, sharing your industry knowledge and skills, and establishing a culture of clear thought, customer understanding and problem solving powered by market insight and top‑notch deal‑making skills. The ideal candidate should have an entrepreneurial spirit, be highly collaborative, data‑driven and rigorous, and have a passion for building something new.

We have high standards and hire exceptional people who will push themselves every day. That means that we hire based on the person first, not their experience. So we encourage any candidate that meets 70% of the qualifications to still apply!
