About Us: Vortexa is the leading real-time energy and freight intelligence platform. We combine AI, satellite data, and proprietary vessel tracking to give the world’s most sophisticated trading and shipping teams a clearer view of global flows. We’re a venture-backed scale-up with offices in London, New York, Houston, Singapore, and beyond — and we’re growing fast. The Role: We’re scaling fast across the Americas, and we’re hiring a Sales Director to take ownership of a defined territory — with a clear mandate to win new logos. This is a hunter-weighted role:
approximately 80% of your time will be spent originating and closing new business , with the remaining 20% spent managing a small, named book of existing accounts. You will not be a farmer with a hunting bullet point — you will be a hunter with a focused renewal/expansion responsibility. A defining focus of this role is selling Vortexa’s
API and MCP-based solutions
into technical and front-office buying centers. Our SaaS platform remains the foundation of our business and you will sell it confidently — but API-led adoption is the fastest-growing part of our Americas opportunity, and we need someone who can lead with it. How You’ll Work: You will not be expected to generate 100% of your own pipeline. You will operate as part of a coordinated commercial pod: •
Dedicated BDR support —
you’ll partner daily with an aligned BDR on outbound sequencing, target account research, and meeting generation. You’ll be expected to coach, prioritize, and direct that resource against your account plan. •
Marketing partnership —
you’ll work closely with the AMER Marketing team on ABM plays, event-driven pipeline (trade shows, customer roundtables), and content tailored to your priority segments. We expect you to bring a clear point of view on what you need from Marketing, not wait to be served. •
Solutions Architecture —
our SA team will partner with you on technical discovery, API/MCP demos, and POC scoping. You drive the commercial agenda; they own the technical depth. •
Customer Success —
for your named book, you’ll work hand-in-hand with CS on renewal strategy and expansion identification. What You’ll Own: New logo acquisition (≈80% of role) •
Originate, qualify, and close new logo opportunities across financial, energy, and shipping segments in your territory. •
Build and maintain a multi-quarter pipeline aligned to Vortexa’s Tier 1 / Tier 2 account strategy. •
Run disciplined account plans on named targets — mapping personas, identifying entry points, and orchestrating multi-threaded campaigns with your BDR, Marketing, and SA partners. •
Lead with API and MCP —
identify and develop opportunities where our API and MCP server solutions are the entry point, particularly with data, quant, and engineering buying centers. This is a strategic priority for the territory. •
Sell the full Vortexa platform confidently — our SaaS product remains core to most deals, and the strongest reps will sell SaaS and API as complementary offerings, not alternatives. Named account management (≈20% of role) •
Own renewals and expansion across a small, designated set of existing accounts in partnership with Customer Success. •
Identify and convert expansion paths — new users, new use cases, new business units, API integrations — into measurable commercial outcomes. •
Manage contract risk proactively and forecast accurately. Commercial discipline •
Maintain clean, current, and credible pipeline data in Salesforce. •
Forecast weekly with accuracy and conviction. •
Partner with Revenue Operations on territory planning, deal structuring, and pricing strategy. Requirements What You’ll Bring: •
Experience in B2B sales with a proven track record of closing new logo business in energy, commodities, financial services, or related data/SaaS markets. •
Demonstrable success selling complex, high-consideration products to sophisticated front-office buyers — traders, analysts, portfolio managers, chartering, or risk. •
Direct experience selling API, data, or developer-facing products
— you’re comfortable in a discovery conversation that spans both a Head of Trading and a Head of Data Engineering. •
Track record of operating effectively with BDR and Marketing partners — you know how to brief, prioritize, and get the most from supporting functions. •
Strong commercial instincts across pipeline management, forecasting, qualification, and negotiation. •
Disciplined use of Salesforce and a structured approach to account planning. •
Excellent written and verbal English; ability to communicate clearly with both senior executives and technical end-users. Also Valuable •
Existing network in commodities trading, energy markets, or maritime/shipping. •
Experience selling into developer or technical buying centers (data engineering, quant research, integration teams). •
Familiarity with MCP, API monetization models, or modern data infrastructure sales motions. •
Background in vessel tracking, commodity fundamentals, or freight markets. Benefits Stock-options in a fast-growing, high-potential business A vibrant and diverse workplace An open, collaborative, and supportive working culture built on merit, which celebrates creative thinking and “getting things done.” The opportunity to work with AI-driven technology in a scale-up environment with commodity trading experts 401k with up to 2% contributions matched by Vortexa Private Health Insurance offered via Blue Cross Shield Dental and Vision cover offered via Guardian Global Volunteering Policy to help you ‘do good’ and feel better
