Head of North America

We’re hiring: Head of International Sales / Head of North America

Havnby is building products for better rest and recovery on the road.

We started with car mattresses and sleep systems, but our ambition is much bigger: to build one of the world’s leading functional sleep brands for cars, home, and outdoor use.

Our overseas business has already reached meaningful scale, with the U.S. as our most important international market.

Now we’re entering the next stage.

We’re not just looking for someone to manage Amazon.

We’re looking for someone who can help us build a real North American business.

That means:

Building and managing a local U.S. sales teamExpanding offline retail and distribution channelsDeveloping relationships with retailers, distributors, dealers, and sales repsGrowing Amazon and DTC alongside offline channelsBuilding sales forecasting, pipeline management, and channel strategyWorking closely with product, supply chain, finance, and the founderTurning market feedback into better products

The person we’re looking for has ideally already done this before.

You may have been a:

Head of North America

U.S. Country Manager

VP / Director of Sales

Retail Sales Director

National Account Director

Channel Sales Director

We especially value candidates who have:

Managed a local sales team in the U.S. or North AmericaBuilt or expanded retail, distributor, dealer, or rep networksExperience in consumer products, outdoor, automotive accessories, sleep, home, travel, sports, or adjacent categoriesGrown an overseas business from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of RMB in revenueStrong P&L and inventory awarenessExperience working in an entrepreneurial or fast-growing environment

Experience at companies such as Anker, EcoFlow, Jackery, Govee, Roborock, Dreame, Segway-Ninebot, YETI, Dometic, Thule, Yakima, WeatherTech, or similar businesses would be highly relevant.

But brand names are not the most important thing.

What matters most is this:

Have you actually built a market?

Have you hired and led people locally?

Have you opened channels that did not exist before?

Have you helped turn a product into a real business?

If the answer is yes, I’d love to talk.

This is not a role for someone who wants to maintain an established system.

It is for someone who wants to build one.
