HUMAN FACTOR
On behalf of our client, we are hiring
Sales Director
Athens, Greece. Full time. Reporting to the General Manager / CEO
About Our Client
Our client is an established Greek organization active in workforce development, offering recruitment, employability and corporate training services to businesses across a wide range of sectors, including tourism, retail, banking and business process outsourcing. It has built a large network of corporate partners and is developing a proprietary, AI powered talent matching platform. As the organization scales its commercial relationships with businesses, it is creating a dedicated sales function for the first time.
The Role
Our client is looking for a Sales Director to build and lead its commercial relationships with employers. This is a newly created role reporting directly to the General Manager/CEO, with a mandate to grow revenue across three service lines: talent sourcing and recruitment, corporate training, and a potential new service supplying workers to Greek businesses through the country's labor migration framework. You will be the organization's primary commercial voice toward HR and procurement leaders, and will build a sales team as the function grows.
Key Responsibilities
• Recruitment and talent services: grow paid recruitment and staffing engagements with employers, and drive commercial adoption of the talent matching platform.
• Corporate training: develop and sell tailored upskilling and reskilling programs to employers in partnership with the internal training academy.
• New service development: explore and build a new labor migration staffing service for sectors facing workforce shortages, such as agriculture, construction and tourism, working closely with legal counsel on the relevant regulatory framework.
• Sales pipeline: own the full sales cycle, from prospecting to negotiation and closing, using CRM tools to track performance.
• Team building: design and grow a business development and account management team.
• Reporting: provide regular pipeline and revenue reporting to the CEO and contribute to annual commercial planning.
What We're Looking For
• Experience: 7 to 12 years in B2B sales or business development, ideally in staffing, HR services, training or a related field, with some experience leading a sales function.
• Track record: demonstrated success meeting or exceeding revenue targets, with concrete, measurable examples.
• Industry knowledge: familiarity with staffing, recruitment or temporary employment agency models is a strong advantage.
• Leadership: ability to build and manage a sales team from the ground up.
• Mission alignment: comfortable selling mission driven services without losing commercial discipline.
• Languages: fluent Greek and English.
What Is Offered
• A newly created, high visibility commercial leadership role reporting directly to the CEO.
• The opportunity to build a sales function, and a new service line, from the ground up.
• A competitive base salary with a strong performance linked bonus or commission structure.
• Company car or travel allowance, private health insurance and a collaborative, mission driven team.
