Procurement is one of the most complex, painful, and underserved functions in enterprise business.

For decades, companies have been sourcing through spreadsheets, endless emails, slow approvals, manual supplier searches, and fragmented processes.

ZINIT is changing that.

We're building an AI-native B2B SaaS platform that helps enterprise companies discover suppliers, run competitive sourcing events, and unlock measurable savings—not in months, but in days.

We're already working with enterprise customers across multiple international markets and are entering the next stage of global growth.

Now we're looking for a Head of Sales to lead our commercial expansion across the Americas, with a core focus on large enterprise clients headquartered in North America.

This is not a role for someone who simply manages a sales team.

We're looking for a commercial leader who can build markets, win enterprise customers, develop high-performing sales organizations, and become one of the key drivers of ZINIT's global growth.
