Founding AE - New Markets at Borderless

Join an elite, Backed.VC-funded startup that is dismantling global borders. As the Founding AE for New Markets, you’ll be the spearhead for international expansion into the US, UAE, and Canada. This isn't a role for someone who needs a playbook—it's for the builder who wants to write it. Reporting directly to the co-founders, you’ll own the entire sales cycle from zero to one. With a proven product-market fit in the UK and a mission-driven team that sponsors 25% of its own workforce, this is your chance to build a global category leader from the ground up.
