About this role
Lead the full SOUS sales organisation across the Netherlands, Germany and South Africa, and turn a fast-scaling team into a repeatable international revenue engine. Full-time About SOUS SOUS exists to give independent restaurants the same acquisition-to-retention infrastructure that only chains and delivery platforms could previously afford.
We build it as one connected data layer, replacing the fragmented stack most restaurants run today: a listings tool here, a separate storefront there, and no CRM at all. Spotlight owns discovery, as search shifts from Google links to AI assistants recommending where to eat. Commerce owns the transaction and, critically, the guest relationship that marketplaces have been extracting for a decade.
Every order through that owned channel generates data that sharpens the next cycle of visibility, personalisation and retention, compounding in the restaurant's favour instead of the platform's. Our long-term bet is simple.
As AI becomes the default interface for "where should I eat", the restaurants that own their guest data and their presence in that layer will keep the margin, and the ones still renting both from marketplaces will not. We are building the infrastructure to make the first outcome the default, not the exception.
We are a team of 27, working from our headquarters on the Vijzelstraat in Amsterdam city centre, and we are growing fast across the Netherlands, Germany and South Africa.
About the role We are live in three markets, our sales team is growing month on month, and restaurant demand is moving faster than we can hire. This is the moment to take the wheel. As Global Head of Sales you own new business revenue across every market.
You lead our Sales Leads in the Netherlands, Germany and South Africa and the Account Executive teams below them, and you build the organisation that takes SOUS from a fast-growing startup to the category leader for independent hospitality. It is a senior role with full ownership, real equity a
