Head of Sales — Knit-i

The role

Own Knit-i revenue across India and our international markets, and build the sales organisation that makes it repeatable — without depending on the founder in every deal.

What you will do

• Own the Knit-i sales target and growth plan across India, Bangladesh, Türkiye, Uzbekistan and new markets.
• Set territories, segments, targets and channel strategy; turn them into quarterly plans you track weekly.
• Recruit, coach and lead regional sales managers, agents and channel partners.
• Stay hands-on: lead strategic customer meetings, OEM conversations and negotiations.
• Run a disciplined pipeline — CRM, weekly reviews, honest forecasts.
• Bring the customer back to product and engineering: pain points, pricing, competitors.

Who we are looking for

• Significant B2B sales experience in industrial products, machinery or capital equipment — sold to factories.
• A track record of owning a revenue number and beating it, with new customers and new markets won personally.
• Experience leading salespeople, regional teams, agents or distributors.
• Textile machinery, knitting accessories or textile consumables is ideal — exceptional industrial sales leaders who learn fast are equally welcome.
• Willing to travel extensively in India and internationally.

Your first year

• An evidence-based market and territory plan.
• A pipeline you can forecast from.
• More trials converted into orders.
• A regional sales and agent network that sells without the founder in the room.
