Country Head - Sales & Business Development

Country Head – Sales & Business Development (Hybrid/Remote within US or Canada)

Hire Rightt is conducting a confidential, retained executive search for a Country Head – Sales & Business Development to lead the North American market for our client, a fast-scaling, US-headquartered SEO and digital authority-building company.

About the Opportunity

Our client has spent over 15 years building one of the industry's most trusted white-label fulfillment operations, serving 150+ agency partners worldwide with a 93% partner retention rate, backed by a 300+ person global delivery team across six offices. Operating as a "silent partner" to agencies rather than a brand consumers see directly, the company is now expanding from SEO and link-building into a broader "Authority Infrastructure & Growth Partner" position — covering Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), AI search visibility, and digital PR.

North America is the company's largest and most strategic market, and has never had a dedicated, senior commercial leader on the ground. This is a founding, build mandate: you will establish and scale the North American commercial function from first principles, reporting directly to the Founder & CEO.

What You'll Own

• Full revenue responsibility for North America: building and executing a go-to-market strategy for new agency partnerships across the US and Canada


• Serving as the senior commercial face of the business in the region, representing the company at industry events and in strategic partner negotiations


• Building repeatable, scalable partner-acquisition processes suited to a white-label, agency-to-agency (B2B2B) sales model


• Translating the company's evolving GEO, AI-search, and digital PR capabilities into a commercial narrative for agency buyers


• Laying the groundwork for a regional team as the North American business grows

What We're Looking For

• 12-18+ years of progressive sales and business development leadership, with direct, personal revenue ownership — not a marketing, product, or client-services background


• Genuine, hands-on experience in the digital marketing, SEO, AdTech/MarTech, or agency ecosystem


• A track record of building a market or business line from an early stage


• Comfort operating in a white-label, B2B2B sales model


• Executive presence to represent the business independently, while staying hands-on with day-to-day pipeline execution


• Based in, the United States or Canada with valid work authorization

Why This Role

This is a genuine build mandate with founder-level access and direct reporting not a role inside a large commercial organization. You'll be joining at an inflection point, with a proven underlying business behind you (150+ agency partners, 93% retention) and real influence over how the company's next chapter reaches the North American market.

This search is being conducted on a confidential basis by Hire Rightt on behalf of our client. Qualified candidates will be contacted directly to discuss further details, including the client's identity.
