About the Role
North America is one of Lokalise's fastest-growing regions, and this role sits at the heart of it. You will lead the North American commercial team with full ownership of revenue across new business, expansion, and retention — reporting directly to the Chief Revenue Officer. But this is more than a sales leadership role. The mandate is broader: scaling the region, developing the team, getting close to strategic customers, strengthening partner-led routes to market, and acting as the commercial voice of the North American market back into Product, Marketing, Partnerships, and Customer Success.
This is a commercially led Country Manager role for someone who wants to own the North American market, not simply manage a sales team. You will own the number, set the operating rhythm, get close to strategic customers and prospects, raise the performance of the team, and bring clear market signals back into Product, Marketing, Partnerships, and Customer Success.
We are looking for a hands-on commercial operator who can create momentum in North America: coaching live deals, improving pipeline quality, strengthening partner-led routes to market, and helping Lokalise build a stronger, more repeatable North American commercial motion.
What You Will Do
- Own North America revenue performance across new business, expansion, and retention, with full accountability for the regional target
- Lead, coach, and develop your commercial team — raising performance standards, sharpening focus, and building a culture of ambition and accountability
- Set and execute the regional scaling motion: clear priorities, stronger pipeline generation, sharper account strategy, and a more effective operating rhythm
- Work directly with strategic customers and prospects to shape opportunities, navigate complex buying groups, and support the team in closing key deals
- Drive expansion across premium customers by identifying whitespace, improving account plans, and working closely with Account Management, Customer Success, and Product
- Strengthen partner relationships and translate them into pipeline, influence, and revenue
- Represent the voice of the North American market internally — providing clear, actionable feedback to Product, Marketing, Customer Success, and Partnerships on where Lokalise is winning, where it is not, and what customers need
- Help shape how Lokalise positions its AI
