Role at a glance
Deligo has already built serious momentum across multiple international markets — with strong operational foundations and a proven playbook for deploying and scaling visual AI self-checkout with large, complex customers. Now we’re bringing that momentum to the U.S.
As Director of Convenience Retail – U.S., you’ll lead Deligo’s expansion into the U.S. convenience retail ecosystem from scratch. You’ll be responsible for opening our first major convenience accounts, building strategic partnerships, and turning early wins into a repeatable go-to-market motion.
You’ll join early, work closely with one of our founders, and play a key role in shaping how we win in the U.S. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who loves building new markets: defining the strategy, getting in front of customers, running enterprise sales cycles end-to-end, and helping lay the foundation for long-term category leadership.
How you’ll make a difference
- Help define Deligo’s U.S. go-to-market strategy for convenience retail — balancing short-term pipeline and revenue goals with long-term market leadership
- Build a deep understanding of the U.S. convenience landscape (c-store chains, forecourt/fuel retail, travel retail and micro-markets), including customer pain points, buying processes, and the competitive environment
- Identify, target, and engage enterprise prospects through outbound outreach, networking, events, and industry relationships
- Own the full sales cycle end-to-end: initial outreach, discovery, product demos, business cases, partnership plans, proposals, negotiations, and closing
- Develop account-based strategies for strategic customers, creating long-term relationships and expansion opportunities
- Build trusted executive-level relationships with key decision-makers and cross-functional stakeholders inside target organizations
- Collaborate with Marketing to develop campaigns, events, and content that generate qualified leads and build Deligo’s presence in the U.S. market
- Partner closely with Product and Operations to ensure our value proposition resonates locally, deployments run smoothly, and customer feedback translates into real product improvement
- Help build internal processes and ways of working as the U.S. business grows: sharing learnings and contributing to the evolution of our sales playbook
What makes you a great fit
- 8-10 years of experience in complex, large-value enterprise B2B sales, ideally with long sales cycles and multiple stakeholder groups
- Experience bringing a new product category into market — especially in fast-moving, high-growth environments
- Strong understanding of (or network within) U.S. convenience retail and adjacent sectors; experience with c-store chains, forecourt/fuel, retail tech, payments, or self-checkout is a major plus
- Comfortable switching between strategy and execution: you can set the direction, and you’re equally happy rolling up your sleeves to do the outreach, travel, and relationship-building needed to win early customers
- Strong product and tech affinity: you learn technical products quickly, can simplify them for different audiences, and know how to tie features to business outcomes
- A growth mindset: you use data, run experiments, and adjust course quickly based on what’s working
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills — you work effectively with marketing, product, operations, and leadership to get things done
- Entrepreneurial and adaptable: you thrive in ambiguity, take ownership, and move fast without needing a lot of structure around you
Why join us
- A rare market-building opportunity: you’ll lead our U.S. expansion into convenience retail at a key inflection point
- Real strategic influence: you’ll shape the U.S. commercial strategy and help define how we win the market
