Sales Development Leader, APJ

We are hiring a Sales Development Leader, APJ to build and lead SpaceXAI’s Sales Development organization across Asia Pacific. Based in our Sydney office, this is a frontline leadership role responsible for hiring, coaching, and developing a high-performing team of Account Associates that generate pipeline and accelerate customer adoption across the region.

This isn’t a traditional SDR organization focused solely on cold outreach. Our Sales Development team partners closely with Growth, Marketing, RevOps, and Sales to identify buying signals, engage customers at the right moment, and create highly personalized outreach informed by product usage, PLG signals, and creative automation. You’ll help your team balance modern, signal-based engagement with disciplined outbound prospecting to consistently create new opportunities across commercial and enterprise accounts.

You’ll be responsible for building a strong team culture, driving execution against pipeline goals, coaching early-career talent, and continuously improving how SpaceXAI engages prospective customers across APJ. This role is ideal for a hands-on sales leader who enjoys coaching people, experimenting with new approaches, and building scalable operating rhythms in a fast-growing company.

This is a full-time, in-office leadership role based in our Sydney office.
