VP Sales & Marketing

Superlinear is building Holon, the AI Operating System for Enterprise Orchestration. The continuously reasoning layer that lets Europe's largest industrial enterprises plan, decide, and execute as one, backed by a €6M Series A. Live pilots with some of Europe's largest industrial companies show 15–30% productivity gains. Our ambition: define a new category across Europe and lift EU GDP by 1% in the process.

The product is real. The pipeline is real. The ambition is European. What we need now is the commercial engine to scale it.

That's where this role comes in.

The role

As VP Sales & Marketing, you own how Superlinear shows up and how we convert. Sales and marketing operate as one system under your leadership, the line between them thin by design.

You set the strategy. You direct execution. You're personally accountable for European revenue. You report to the CEO, sit on the leadership team, and personally close the deals that need executive credibility, while building the organisation around you.

Specific revenue targets and milestones will be shared with serious candidates during the recruitment process.

What you'll do

• Own commercial strategy. Define how we go to market across complex supply chains and industrial manufacturing. Shape positioning, segmentation, pricing, and where we play across Europe. Decide what we say yes to, and what we walk away from.

• Lead enterprise revenue. Personally close the high-value, multi-stakeholder deals at the top of the market. Navigate long procurement cycles, build internal champions, and win the contracts that require executive credibility.

• Build the sales organisation. Hire enterprise sellers. Coach them. Hold them to a standard. Establish forecasting discipline, pipeline rigor, and a rhythm that produces predictable, scalable revenue.

• Run marketing as a growth function. Align brand, category content, and account-based activity directly to enterprise pipeline. Marketing here is part of the commercial engine, not a support function. It owns category authority and ABM enablement.

• Build the commercial infrastructure. Set the processes, the metrics, and the partnerships (including channel and ecosystem relationships) that let Superlinear scale beyond its current markets.

Who you are

You've led enterprise software sales in Europe at senior level. Complex deals. High-value contracts. Long cycles. You've sold into supply chains and industrial manufacturing. Operationally demanding organisations with long procurement memories.

You've built and led both sales and marketing teams. You can design the entire revenue funnel: ICP segmentation, positioning, demand generation, pipeline math, sales motion. You know what good looks like in a forecast and in a rep, and you can hire, coach, and hold a standard.

And you're still a closer. You want to be in the room on the deals that matter, and you're good enough that it makes a difference. You don't need everything defined before you start. You bring the structure.

English at native level. Dutch or French is a strong plus.

Why this role matters

For decades, enterprise planning has run in weekly cycles, with each layer of the stack locally optimised but disconnected. That's changing. The shift to continuous, AI-native orchestration is happening across Europe and we intend to be the company that leads it.

We have the product. We have the early traction. What we don't yet have is the commercial engine that scales it. The rooms we walk into excite, but converting excitement into long-term enterprise partnerships takes a discipline we haven't yet built.

That's what this role builds. The commercial engine that turns excited rooms into European revenue. And the chance to write the commercial story of a once-a-decade shift.

What we offer

Competitive salary aligned with experience, plus shareholder participation through our ESOP. Full benefits, health and group insurance, meal and eco vouchers, transport coverage, internet allowance, extra holidays. Brussels-based, hybrid, with regular travel across Europe with customers and prospects.

A high-trust environment, real ownership, and the space to build the function the way you think it should work. You won't inherit a finished machine. You'll build it, and be measured by what it delivers.
