NEW HIRE

US Head of Sales, Director of Brand Partnerships

CHALLENGE

Wattpad, a Series C storytelling SaaS platform, needed a US Head of Sales, Director of Brand Partnerships to drive Revenue growth in a remote role. The challenge of identifying an individual contributor Sales Director who could also build out and lead the US Sales team made this challenging for a brand that wasn’t a household name in the US.

ACTION

We kicked off the search by identifying a mix of multiple backgrounds to headhunt and within 10 days we had 3 varied but ideal candidates to interview. We quickly narrowed the pool to 2 finalists who were 100% aligned and experienced to lead the growth of the business in the US.

RESULT

The interview process took about 3.5 weeks and we settled in on the perfect leading candidate that we hired within 45 days from beginning the search. This US Head of Sales, Director of Brand Partnerships has been an extremely valuable and highly-productive addition to the team, consistently exceeding goals and expectations over the first 2.5 years of her tenure @ Wattpad.
