Meet the team behind this journey

​​Since launching DeepL US in October 2023, we’ve rapidly expanded our Austin office to over 40 team members, primarily in sales. What began with a Head of US Sales has grown into a strong leadership team, now including an Enterprise Sales Manager and a Mid-Market Sales Manager. We've made a powerful impact in the AI translation space—and with the addition of another sales leader, we're only gaining momentum.

That's where you come in! DeepL is seeking a dynamic sales leader to join our high-performing, results-driven team. We’d love for you to take on this pivotal role in driving our ambitious revenue growth in a fast-paced, ever-evolving market. You’ll bring the energy, strategic insight, and sales expertise needed to build, inspire, and empower your team to consistently exceed their targets—all while collaborating closely with our incredible cross-functional partners.

You'll craft and implement a dynamic sales strategy to expand our market share while ensuring exceptional customer and team satisfaction. Leading a team of highly motivated, top-performing sales professionals, you'll drive both new customer acquisition and revenue growth within our existing client base.

Your responsibilities

• Provide strong leadership, vision, and direction for the sales team and broader DeepL sales organization.

• Hire, mentor, and develop a high-performing sales team, including recruiting, onboarding, and training.

• Drive sales success by leading prospect meetings, conducting forecast reviews, and accurately reporting progress to senior management.

• Collaborate with marketing and outbound sales teams to build pipeline and drive market awareness.

• Engage with C-level executives, manage key client relationships, and address significant customer concerns.

• Establish policies, processes, and strategies to ensure revenue growth while maintaining deep industry and competitive knowledge.

Qualities we look for

• 10+ years of software sales experience, including 3-5+ years in sales management, with a proven track record of exceeding revenue targets.

• Experience leading a team of Strategic/Mid-Market Account Executives in a B2B software sales environment.

• Strong ability to hire, train, and develop high-performing sales teams.

• Excellent presentation, communication, and listening skills with a results-driven, self-motivated mindset.

• Fluency in English required; business-level Spanish or French is a plus.

What we offer

• Diverse and internationally distributed team: joining our team means becoming part of a large, global community with people of more than 90 nationalities. We're more than just colleagues; we're a group of professionals with a shared mission to connect diverse cultures. Our global presence is growing–we've doubled in size nearly every year, with our employees based in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, the US, and Japan, and we continue to expand our network.

• Open communication, regular feedback: as a language-focused company, we value the importance of clear, honest communication. We value smooth collaboration, direct and actionable feedback, and believe that leading with empathy and growth mindset makes us better together.

• Hybrid work, flexible hours: we offer a hybrid work schedule, with team members coming into the office (located at 6th and Congress) a few times a week. This allows you to engage directly with your team and experience the unique energy of our workspace, while still enjoying the flexibility and comfort of working from home. With flexible working hours and trust in your productivity, we are in sync with your team’s general locations and time zones to foster effective and seamless collaboration.

• Regular in-person team events: we bond over vibrant events that are as unique as our team, from local team and business unit gatherings, to new-joiner onboardings, to company-wide events that bring us all together–literally.

• Monthly full-day hacking sessions: every month, we have Hack Fridays, where you can spend your time diving into a project you're passionate about and get the opportunity to work with other teams–we value your initiatives, impact, and creativity.

• 30 days of annual leave: we value your peace of mind. With 30 days off (excluding public holidays) and access to mental health resources, we make sure you're as strong mentally as you are professionally.

• Competitive benefits: just as our team spans the globe, so does our benefits package. We've crafted it to reflect the diversity of our team and tailored it to align with your unique location, to ensure you feel supported every step of the way.
