Founding SVP of Sales
Skills
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.
