Head of Sales

Note: Partly has offices in London (UK), Christchurch (NZ) and Austin (Texas). Wherever you're based, we'll connect you with your nearest office for onboarding, and fly you to join the full team for our quarterly "Season Openers" (we cover travel and accommodation). If you're relocating to join us, we can also assist with relocation costs.

Partly's mission is to connect the world's parts and we're doing that by building the first global platform for replacement parts, starting with auto parts. Our big vision is to accelerate the world toward a sustainable future where anyone can fix anything.

Founded by ex‑Rocket Lab engineers, we utilise cutting‑edge technology to solve challenging but exciting problems that make a huge impact in a $1.9 trillion industry. We've more than tripled our team over the last 12 months and expect to double in size again over the coming 12 months. We're a global team spanning both Europe and Australasia.

We provide a scalable digital infrastructure solution to some of the world's largest businesses and the most exciting startups. Partly's solutions are integrated across hundreds of companies globally, providing the backbone for cataloguing and managing parts online.

Our investors in Blackbird Ventures (Canva, Culture Amp etc.), Square Peg, Octopus Ventures, Icehouse, Peter Beck (Rocket Lab), Akshay Kothari (Notion Co‑Founder) and Dylan Field (Figma Co‑Founder).

We're continuing to build a world‑class team and ensuring Partly is a place where people can do the best work of their lives. We're proud of the culture we've built at Partly, and our values are lived throughout every experience.

This is a foundational leadership role
, not a role for someone who wants to inherit an existing machine.

As Partly's first Head of / Director of Sales, USA
, you will build our US commercial function from the ground up. You will lead a team of three enterprise sales reps and personally carry key deals in the early phase while the team ramps.

You will set the US commercial strategy, define how we show up to enterprise customers, and create the playbook that makes Partly's US revenue engine repeatable and scalable.

This is the most senior commercial role in North America. You will report directly to our CEO and represent the US business to global leadership. If we get this right, this role grows significantly as Partly scales.

If you have built enterprise sales teams in complex, technical markets from early‑stage and you are excited by the challenge of doing it again at a company with genuine global momentum, this role is built for you.

This position must be based in Austin, Texas. We will cover reasonable relocation costs for anyone considering a move.
