Why this role exists now

Qobra already generates 30% of its 2025 new business from the US. The market is validated, deals are happening, but the bar is high. As we prepare for a Series B, we are strengthening the team with a profile able to drive strong revenue impact on the US & International markets, managing demanding mid-market sales cycles from Europe.

This is not a US structuring or management role. It is a pure revenue role, highly exposed, ambitious, designed for an AE who wants to prove they can close internationally on meaningful deal sizes.
