We are looking for a strategic and data‑driven Business Growth Director to lead our international unit and drive revenue growth for our SaaS platform serving e‑commerce businesses.

The ideal candidate will combine deep knowledge of e‑commerce and retail operations with strong analytical and sales skills, and will be responsible for building and executing the growth strategy across key international markets.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute the international growth strategy. Define market entry approaches, prioritise target regions, and build go‑to‑market plans aligned with product capabilities and local market dynamics.

• Lead cross‑functional collaboration. Work closely with product, marketing, customer success, and engineering teams to adapt the SaaS offering to local needs, ensure smooth launches, and deliver a consistent customer experience.
• Build and manage international partnerships. Identify and nurture strategic alliances with local tech providers, marketplaces, payment gateways, and resellers to accelerate market penetration.
• Analyse market trends and competitive landscape. Conduct regular research to understand local e‑commerce ecosystems, regulatory environments, consumer behaviour, and competitor positioning; translate insights into actionable strategies.
• Own the full sales cycle for key international accounts. Lead high‑value deals from prospecting to close, including negotiation, contract structuring, and stakeholder management.
• Monitor performance and optimise growth levers. Track key metrics (CAC, LTV, churn, MRR/ARR, conversion rates) and use data to refine strategies, allocate resources effectively, and improve ROI.
• Represent the company externally. Participate in industry events, conferences, and networking activities to build brand awareness and generate new business opportunities.
