AI Summary

Lead the North American commercial team with full accountability for revenue across new business, expansion, and retention. Act as the regional commercial voice to influence Product, Marketing, and Customer Success while scaling the regional operating rhythm.

Who are we

At Lokalise, we make it easy and profitable for businesses to expand into new markets. Our AI-powered localization platform helps companies manage both software and marketing content from a single, unified environment — ensuring every team speaks with one voice across every language and channel.

By automating workflows, integrating with over 60 tools, and centralizing translation memory and terminology, Lokalise enables product, engineering, and marketing teams to collaborate without friction and launch globally up to 10× faster and at 80% lower cost.

Trusted by thousands of businesses across more than 100 countries, Lokalise empowers millions of people worldwide to use digital services in their native languages. Backed by a customer-loved support team, our platform fits seamlessly into your design, development, and content workflows, helping you scale with consistency and control.

Location

This is a fully remote position; however, candidates must reside in and be authorized to work in the United States, with a strong preference for those based in the Eastern Time Zone to facilitate collaboration across teams.

  • Please note that we do not engage on a B2B or contractor basis.
  • We do not partner with search firms.

 

About the Role

North America is one of Lokalise's fastest-growing regions, and this role sits at the heart of it. You will lead the North American commercial team with full ownership of revenue across new business, expansion, and retention — reporting directly to the Chief Revenue Officer. But this is more than a sales leadership role. The mandate is broader: scaling the region, developing the team, getting close to strategic customers, strengthening partner-led routes to market, and acting as the commercial voice of the North American market back into Product, Marketing, Partnerships, and Customer Success.

This is a commercially led Country Manager role for someone who wants to own the North American market, not simply manage a sales team. You will own the number, set the operating rhythm, get close to strategic customers and prospects, raise the performance of the team, and bring clear market signals back into Product, Marketing, Partnerships, and Customer Success.

We are looking for a hands-on commercial operator who can create momentum in North America: coaching live deals, improving pipeline quality, strengthening partner-led routes to market, and helping Lokalise build a stronger, more repeatable North American commercial motion.

 

What You Will Do

  • Own North America revenue performance across new business, expansion, and retention, with full accountability for the regional target
  • Lead, coach, and develop your commercial team — raising performance standards, sharpening focus, and building a culture of ambition and accountability
  • Set and execute the regional scaling motion: clear priorities, stronger pipeline generation, sharper account strategy, and a more effective operating rhythm
  • Work directly with strategic customers and prospects to shape opportunities, navigate complex buying groups, and support the team in closing key deals
  • Drive expansion across premium customers by identifying whitespace, improving account plans, and working closely with Account Management, Customer Success, and Product
  • Strengthen partner relationships and translate them into pipeline, influence, and revenue
  • Represent the voice of the North American market internally — providing clear, actionable feedback to Product, Marketing, Customer Success, and Partnerships on where Lokalise is winning, where it is not, and what customers need
  • Help shape how Lokalise positions its AI capabilities with North American customers, especially across product, content, marketing, and localization workflows

 

What You Must Have

  • Proven commercial leadership experience in a high-growth B2B technology company, with a strong track record of owning and delivering revenue across new business, expansion, and retention
  • Experience leading and elevating an existing sales or commercial team, with clear evidence that you raise performance, not just manage activity
  • Hands-on experience in strategic deals: you know how to work with customers, shape opportunities, create urgency, manage complexity, and help teams close
  • Strong pipeline creation instincts across prospecting, account strategy, partner channels, and customer expansion motions
  • Experience expanding premium or strategic customers, including whitespace identification, account planning, and multi-threaded engagement
  • Strong partner instincts: ability to build useful relationships, create mutual value, and connect partner activity to revenue outcomes
  • Experience selling B2B solutions where AI is central to the customer value proposition, including the ability to position AI around business outcomes, workflow transformation, efficiency, quality, speed, and competitive advantage
  • Practical understanding of how to use AI in the commercial motion, including prospecting, account research, deal execution, coaching, forecasting, and customer workflow discovery
  • Proficiency with Salesforce, Gong, or similar commercial tools for pipeline visibility, forecasting, and coaching

 

It's a Plus If You Have

  • Experience in the localization, translation, TMS, content operations, or marketing technology space
  • Experience selling into product, engineering, marketing, or content teams
  • Experience scaling a regional market in a remote-first or distributed company
  • Experience working with European-headquartered companies selling into the US market
  • Familiarity with sales methodologies such as MEDDPICC, Challenger, or Command of the Message
