Job description

Founded in Austria in 2016, iov42 was born out of a bold vision: to unlock the potential of secure, transparent, and trustworthy data sharing across the world’s most complex industries.

Today, our team of experts spans 12 different nationalities and operates across Europe, bringing together a wealth of diverse perspectives and technical know-how to solve the unique challenges of our globalised economy.

About Interu:

We are passionate about the impact our product is making, especially in sectors like sustainable supply chain management and traceability. Our flagship application, Interu (interu.io), is enabling organisations to track forest risk commodities across their supply chains and meet sustainability targets and regulations. By doing so, we are helping combat deforestation and the illicit trade in commodity supplies. Designed for scalability, Interu supports an ever growing number of supply chains and organisations, with the flexibility to onboard other industries and products seamlessly.

Overview

We are seeking a Senior Sales Manager to join our expanding team and drive the growth of Interu by building strategic relationships, securing new clients, and expanding our footprint across SME and Enterprise businesses.

This is an opportunity to lead the sales function, define processes, and shape the future of sales/business development at iov42. The ideal candidate is an ambitious, hands‑on sales professional who enjoys working with clients, managing complex sales cycles, and thrives in an evolving start‑up environment. We’re a small team located throughout Europe, however, this role will principally be located around our London team. When we’re looking for new team members, we’re not just looking for fantastic background experience; we are also looking for people that are mission‑driven and that fit our ethos of being kind, curious and collaborative.

About You
