What are the responsibilities and job description for the VP of Sales (North America) position at Verda?
At Verda, we're building a fully featured European AI cloud, covering everything needed to train, experiment with, and deploy AI models at scale.
We are a full-stack AI infrastructure company, meaning we design, operate, and optimize the compute powering modern AI workloads across training and inference. Our infrastructure runs on 100% renewable energy, helping build a more sustainable AI ecosystem.
Join Verda while it’s still being built - not once it’s finished.
About The Role
As we expand into the US market, we're looking for a VP of Sales to lead our North America sales organization from the ground up, based in our San Francisco office.
This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who thrives in a fast-scaling environment and knows how to build a regional sales engine from an early stage. You'll own the North America go-to-market strategy, build and lead a high-performing enterprise sales team, and drive Verda's growth with hyperscalers, AI-native companies, and enterprise customers across the Americas. You'll report directly to the Chief Business Officer and play a central role in shaping how Verda scales its commercial presence in the US and beyond.
