About Seekda

Seekda is a hospitality technology platform helping hotels and hospitality businesses drive direct bookings, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen guest engagement. We work with independent hotels and hospitality groups across Europe, delivering modern software solutions that help customers compete in an increasingly digital market.

As we enter our next phase of growth, we are looking for a commercially driven Head of Sales to help scale our go-to-market engine, build a repeatable outbound motion, and accelerate new customer acquisition across the DACH region and beyond.

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Director of Sales to lead and build Seekda’s commercial growth engine. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys building from the ground up - not just managing from above.

You will personally drive new-logo acquisition while implementing the systems, structure, and operating cadence needed to create a scalable and predictable sales organization. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a builder environment, enjoys operating close to the customer, and wants meaningful ownership over growth strategy and execution.

You’ll work closely with company leadership across Product, Marketing, Customer Success, and Operations to shape commercial strategy, improve sales effectiveness, and expand Seekda’s market presence.

Lead and Coach a Growing Team

• Coach and develop a small sales team with a strong focus on accountability and execution.
• Support hiring, onboarding, and ramping of future sales talent as the organization grows.
• Run regular pipeline reviews, deal coaching sessions, and forecasting meetings.

Partner Cross-Functionally

• Lead pricing, packaging, positioning, and go-to-market strategy discussions
• Share customer and market feedback with other teams (e.g. Product)
• Collaborate with Customer Support to ensure smooth handoffs and strong customer outcomes.
• Help shape Seekda’s broader commercial operating model as the business scales.
