The Role

We’re Linnk Group — an award-winning global talent partner operating at the intersection of emerging tech, scale-up speed, and world-class delivery. We’re now planting our flag in the USA. Austin is our launchpad. You’ll be one of the first on the ground, working directly with our CRO to build, win, and grow in this high-potential market.

This is a player-first, leader-later opportunity — perfect for someone 1–2 steps away from Sales Director. You'll help shape our go-to-market strategy, win key logos across Technology & Engineering, and eventually build your own team as we scale. If you're ready to move fast, sell smart, and lead with purpose, keep reading.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own and drive new client acquisition across the US, targeting emerging tech vendors, consultancies, and scale-ups.
• Represent Linnk in the market with credibility, curiosity, and a commercial edge — we sell capability, not just CVs.
• Partner directly with the CRO to shape sales strategy, pricing, and market positioning.
• Build strong, multi-layered client relationships that go beyond transactional staffing — we lead with insight, not volume.
• Work side-by-side with a second US sales hire to prove the model, then scale the team over the next 6–9 months.
• Tap into our global capability: from Cybersecurity and AI to Robotics, Data, and Cloud — we’ve got the bench, brand, and backing.

You’ll Thrive If You Are...

• A proven deal-maker in staffing, recruitment or solutions sales — ideally within Technology, Engineering, or Digital.
• Based in or near Austin, with an instinct for the US tech talent landscape (consultancies, SaaS vendors, integrators, etc).
• Hungry for growth, but level-headed enough to plan and build sustainably.
• Comfortable operating without a safety net — you’ll have our full support, but this is a hands-on, in-market role.
• Ambitious enough to become Sales Director. Grounded enough to know that titles are earned.

Why Join Linnk?

• Global Impact, Local Ownership: You’ll lead the charge in the US, but with the full weight of our UK and EMEA teams behind you.
• Emerging Tech Focus: AI, Cyber, Data, Cloud, Robotics — we work where the future is being built.
• Backed to Win: We don’t do vanity hires. You’ll have the tools, investment, and executive support to make a difference.
• Modern Culture: Flexible work, clear progression, and a brand built on credibility, creativity and speed.
