About This Role

Skillscaper

is a French deep-tech company pioneering a new category in human potential assessment through immersive, context-based technologies.

We are expanding into the

Middle East

and are seeking a

Founding SVP of Sales

to lead this growth.

This is not a conventional sales leadership opportunity.

It is a rare build-stage executive mandate for a high-caliber commercial leader with the stature, network, and execution power to establish Skillscaper as a major player in the regional enterprise market.

The executive appointed to this role will be expected to open strategic doors, win high-value enterprise accounts, recruit and lead a top-tier commercial team, and build a revenue engine of significant long-term value.

Founding SVP of Sales

, you will lead Skillscaper’s commercial entry and expansion across the

Middle East

  • .
  • Your mission will be to:
  • Establish Skillscaper’s presence with major enterprise buyers across the region
  • Build direct relationships with senior HR, Learning & Development, talent, assessment, and workforce decision-makers
  • Originate, structure, negotiate, and close strategic enterprise contracts
  • Design the most effective commercial approach and market penetration strategy for the region
  • Recruit, lead, and scale a high-performing sales team
  • Create the foundations of a durable, high-value regional revenue organization
  • This is a role for a builder with executive presence — someone capable not only of generating revenue, but of creating commercial architecture.

What You Will Own

  • You will be expected to:
  • Develop executive-level access across large enterprise accounts in the region
  • Position Skillscaper with credibility among sophisticated buyers
  • Lead complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles from initial access to signed contract
  • Identify the strongest verticals, commercial priorities, and expansion pathways
  • Recruit as many sales professionals as you believe necessary to accelerate growth
  • Lead, incentivize, and scale your team with high standards of performance
  • Build a commercial culture centered on discipline, trust, ambition, and results
  • Work directly with company leadership on strategic growth decisions
  • This role is centered on major strategic wins — not commodity selling, volume prospecting, or transactional sales management.

Who We Are Looking For

  • This opportunity is intended for an exceptional commercial leader who:
  • Has a strong reputation and proven success in enterprise sales across the Middle East
  • Brings direct senior-level access to enterprise decision-makers
  • Understands how to sell differentiated, high-value solutions into complex organizations
  • Has already built, recruited, and led strong commercial teams
  • Operates with executive maturity, commercial instinct, and strong judgment
  • Is energized by ownership, autonomy, and meaningful upside
  • Wants to build something substantial rather than inherit a fully structured machine
  • This role is not suitable for agencies, intermediaries, brokers, or individuals without direct strategic access and enterprise-level credibility.

Compensation & Upside

  • This is a performance-driven executive opportunity with substantial upside.
  • The compensation structure includes:
  • **15% commission**
  • on contracts secured through your direct involvement
  • **5% override commission**
  • on all net sales generated by the team you recruit and lead
  • **No cap on earnings**
  • Significant executive influence in Skillscaper’s regional expansion
  • For the right profile, this role offers the opportunity to build considerable personal and strategic value through both direct performance and team scale.
  • For exceptional candidates, the compensation structure may be adapted to reflect profile, network strength, and demonstrated execution capacity.

Why This Role Is Exceptional

  • Very few roles offer this combination of:
  • A founding executive leadership position in a high-potential new market
  • The ability to build your own team with real strategic autonomy
  • A direct path to substantial upside through both individual and team performance
  • Access to a differentiated offering with strong enterprise relevance
  • Direct collaboration with leadership on market creation and commercial strategy
  • You will not be joining a mature sales machine.
  • You will be building one.
  • This role is designed for a top-tier commercial executive who wants more than compensation and title.
  • It is for someone who wants to build a market, shape a category, and leave a visible commercial legacy.

Skills

  • caper develops immersive assessment technologies used for:
  • Talent evaluation and certification
  • Leadership and workforce development
  • Language and communication assessment
  • Enterprise-scale diagnostics and capability building
  • Our ambition is to transform how organizations evaluate human capability by moving beyond traditional testing toward more contextual, engaging, and strategically relevant methods.
