Sales Team Lead

About Pemo

Pemo is a spend management platform for SMEs across MENA, headquartered in DIFC, Dubai. Finance teams use Pemo for corporate cards, expense automation, bill pay, and accounting integrations in one place. We serve customers across the UAE and we are scaling from $10M ARR towards $100M ARR. This role is a core part of how we get there.

The role

We are hiring a Sales Team Lead to run our Mid-Market squad of Account Executives and take it to a US SaaS standard of execution - the best sales team in the UAE, and one that would hold its own anywhere.

• Own the team number for a squad of 4 Account Executives, and grow the squad through hiring - you recruit, ramp, and cut time-to-first-deal for every new AE
• Build the team's outbound motion from the ground up: territory and account planning, sequencing, outbound targets per rep, and the discipline to hit them alongside inbound
• Run a relentless coaching cadence - review TLDV call recordings weekly, give direct feedback on every rep every week, and run pipeline reviews and deal strategy sessions that measurably move win rate and deal velocity
• Build and maintain the playbook for discovery, demo, negotiation, and outbound, and keep it current as the market shifts
• Own forecast accuracy: a clean, defensible number to the…
