Description
Gradial is the marketing operations system of work that helps marketers and creatives move from idea to execution faster. Our platform orchestrates across martech stacks, workflows, and people to automate marketing execution, cutting execution time, so marketers focus on the work only humans can do: shaping brands, understanding customers, and creating the work that moves people.
Backed by leading investors, we’re building software that adapts to the user, not the other way around. We move with urgency, operate with ownership, and solve hard problems from first principles. If you want to do ambitious work, take real responsibility, and help define the future of AI-native content operations, you’ll do your best work here.
The Role
Gradial is hiring an RVP of Sales, EMEA to establish and scale our commercial presence across the region. You’ll own the EMEA sales strategy, build relationships with leading enterprise marketing organisations and create the foundation for durable regional growth.
This is a hands-on leadership role for an experienced enterprise seller who can build a market while closing complex strategic deals. You’ll begin as an individual contributor, owning priority opportunities from first conversation through contract execution and setting the standard for how Gradial sells across EMEA.
You’ll report directly to the CRO and serve as Gradial’s senior sales leader in the region. As the business grows, you’ll define the regional operating model, hire and develop the EMEA sales team and assume broader responsibility for revenue performance across all EMEA markets.

-
Collaborate with Marketing, Product and Customer teams to shape regional messaging, customer strategy and market priorities
-
Share customer insight, market feedback and competitive intelligence to inform Gradial’s broader go-to-market strategy
-
Build the forecasting discipline, sales processes, territory structure and operating cadence required to scale across EMEA
-
Define the regional hiring plan and recruit the sales team as pipeline and market demand grow
-
Lead, coach and develop the EMEA sales organisation while maintaining a high standard for execution and accountability

You'll thrive here if you
- Learn quickly, actively seek out new challenges, and regularly reconsider “how it’s always been done.”
- Want to have real impact with zero bureaucracy.
- Have an innate drive for being 1% better than the day before, building towards greatness.
- Embrace AI as a core tool for problem-solving, innovation, and scale.
- Show customer-obsession (internal or external), high ownership/accountability, and bias for action.
- Communicate clearly, directly, with curiosity, and assuming good intentions.
- Thrive in fast-paced, hyper-growth environments where building better > maintaining status quo.
AI Literacy & Interviewing Tools
As an AI-first company, we prioritize AI literacy as a core competency in our hiring decisions. We’re excited by candidates who thoughtfully apply AI tools in their work, but during interviews we’re focused on you. This is your opportunity to show how you think, communicate, and solve problems. Over-reliance on AI-generated responses during the interview process (especially when it obscures your own voice) will result in disqualification. We want to understand your unique perspective and how you approach challenges, both with and without AI.
Gradial is dedicated to creating an environment where diverse perspectives are valued and all team members can grow. We offer competitive compensation, equity, flexible work hours, comprehensive benefits, and a collaborative culture focused on learning and impact.
