US Market Launcher (Founding Sales)

Define Your Career – and the Future of Conversational AI

SleekFlow is one of the fastest-growing AI startups in the world, backed by top-tier investors like Tiger Global. We’re building the next generation of Conversational AI—powering seamless, smart customer experiences across messaging, voice, and every digital touchpoint. In our first founding years, we’ve already made our mark across Asia & GCC, with strong traction in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and UAE.

Now we’re coming to the U.S., and we’re looking for our first hire on the ground to lead the charge. This isn’t just a sales role; it’s a founding position. You’ll be the face of SleekFlow in America—owning strategy, closing flagship customers, and shaping our entire U.S. presence from day one.

Based in New York, where our U.S. headquarters will be, you’ll report directly to our CEO and partner closely with our CTO, Product, Marketing, and Strategy teams to define how we win. This is your chance to:

• Build the U.S. market from scratch—with full autonomy and trust
• Create go-to-market playbooks, positioning, and processes
• Lead high-stakes conversations with Fortune 1000 prospects
• Represent a cutting-edge product in a $100B+ category
• Scale something real—backed by strong global revenue and customers in 120+ countries
   

We don’t care about job titles. We care about grit, drive, and results. If you’re hungry to make a mark—and you’ve been waiting for the right rocket ship to make a career-defining jump—this is it. Let’s Make History!
