As the first dedicated commercial hire at Zuba, you will lead the charge in establishing our European market presence. You’ll own the end-to-end sales cycle, from defining the outbound playbook to closing high-growth startups and scaleups. This is a "zero-to-one" role for a builder ready to turn early traction into a scalable commercial machine.
Founding Sales Lead at Zuba
Zuba is building the cross-border banking and treasury infrastructure for Europe, backed by EWOR and Digital Currency Group. As Founding Sales Lead, you'll be the first dedicated commercial hire, carrying a quota and building the outbound motion from scratch. If you’ve founded a company or were an early-stage commercial leader ready to sell to founders and finance leads at high-growth startups, this is your chance to own the European market with £100k base, uncapped commission, and significant equity.

What you'll do
What you will do
- Own the European revenue number by building and closing a pipeline of high-growth scaleups and founders.
- Create the commercial machine from scratch, defining the ICP, messaging, outbound playbooks, and pricing strategies.
- Act as the voice of the market, feeding customer insights directly back to the founders to shape the product roadmap.
Who you are
Who this is a fit for
- Proven "founder" mentality: You have started a company or were a key early commercial hire who has successfully created demand from nothing.
- Expert seller: You have a track record of personally closing complex deals with technical or finance buyers like CFOs and founders.
- Builder mindset: You thrive in ambiguity and would rather build the sales playbook and team from a blank page than inherit a pre-existing machine.
Why this role
Why this role is remarkable
- Founding ownership: You are the first senior seller on the ground, reporting directly to the CEO with a genuine seat at the strategy table.
- High-caliber backing: Zuba is supported by Digital Currency Group and EWOR, with a team that has previously scaled fintechs to multi-billion-dollar valuations.
- Untapped opportunity: Build the European equivalent of Brex or Slash, solving the massive pain of cross-border treasury and payments for digitally native businesses.
