Sales Manager (Software Services) –
Bolder Apps
We're Bolder Apps – a fast-scaling mobile development studio building high-performance apps at startup speed. In just one year, we've grown to 50 talented builders and partnered with both early‑stage disruptors and established brands to turn ambitious ideas into real products. Our sales engine is already running, but now we're ready to upgrade it. We're looking for a sales leader who knows how to scale, build predictable revenue, and expand our footprint in the US market.
RoleWe're hiring an experienced, hungry, and hands‑on Sales Manager to lead and grow our US sales operations. You’ve scaled sales for a software development agency before, ideally with a strong background in mobile app projects, and you know exactly what it takes to build a high-performing revenue team from the ground up. You'll update and sharpen our sales playbook, hire top talent, close strategic accounts yourself, and turn our sales process into a scalable machine.
