ABOUT SOUTHWORKS
At SOUTHWORKS, we enable top companies like Microsoft, AWS, 7-Eleven, and Discovery to build software faster & smarter. Our DevForce division is the growth engine of SOUTHWORKS—scaling our staffing & engineering delivery with quality, speed, and an AI-first mindset. We link elite LATAM and European engineers with US clients who need high-performance talent on demand.

YOUR MISSION
Drive SOUTHWORKS’ growth in the US: land new logos, then own and grow those accounts long-term. You’ll be a hunter who brings in fresh business and a farmer who nurtures, expands, and retains it.

WHAT YOU’LL DO
Core Responsibilities

  • Hunt, qualify, and close new US accounts.
  • Own the full sales funnel: outreach, discovery, proposal, negotiation, contract.
  • Grow client accounts over time: upsell new roles, renew contracts, identify cross-sell opportunities.

Preferred / Supporting Responsibilities

  • Maintain accurate pipeline and forecasts in the CRM.
  • Liaise with Marketing to refine ICPs, messaging, and demand gen.
  • Ensure handoff and delivery alignment with Talent & Delivery teams.
  • Represent DevForce at US industry events, webinars, and engineer communities.
  • Map and refine ICPs per vertical.
  • Participate in strategy and GTM planning.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 5+ years of BD / sales experience in staffing (developers), IT services, or software development.
  • Proven track record of winning US clients (hunting).
  • Experience growing accounts (upsell, renewals).
  • Strong relationships / network with CTOs, VPs of Engineering, technical leaders.
  • Excellent verbal/written English (C1+).
  • Self-driven, resilient, highly accountable.
  • Preferred: Knowledge of engineering practices (cloud, DevOps, AI).
  • Preferred: Background in nearshore / outsourcing / managed engineering teams.

HOW SUCCESS IS MEASURED

We keep it simple — what matters are results, not activity. Your success will be measured by two key indicators:

  • Revenue & Profitability: Meeting or exceeding your annual sales targets, reviewed quarterly, while maintaining healthy margins across multiple US clients.
  • Pipeline Health: Building and managing a strong, qualified pipeline that consistently supports your revenue and profitability goals.

If these stay on track, you’re winning.

WHY SOUTHWORKS

  • Join a trusted global brand scaling fast in North America
  • Work remotely across LATAM / US with strong overlap
  • Competitive base + uncapped commissions + clear incentives
  • Ownership culture—no red tape, just results
  • Career trajectory into Sales Leadership or Client Partner roles

(*) SOUTHWORKS only hires individuals from countries that are not blocked or sanctioned by the United States, including those identified on the United States Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC).
