Founding AE - New Markets

Founding AE - New Markets 🚀 About Borderless Borderless is simplifying the complexity of global immigration, starting with the UK. Immigration is one of the most important - and most broken - systems in the global economy. It’s shaped human history, yet businesses and individuals hit friction at every turn, and government policy lurches with the political cycle. Our vision is simple: a world where borders are no longer barriers, empowering the ambitious, wherever they are. Backed by Entrepreneur First and Backed.VC , we’re already supporting 600+ businesses, 15,000+ workers and scaling fast into new sectors and markets. Around 25% of our workforce is sponsored, and we proudly offer visa sponsorship as part of our hiring process. 🎯 Why This Role Exists We've built a product that works. We've proven commercial traction in the UK. Now we're going international - and we need someone exceptional to lead the charge. This is not a job for someone who needs a playbook, a warm pipeline, or a brand name to open doors. This is a job for someone who builds those things from scratch. You'll be at ground zero selling Borderless into a new geography, with a mandate to prove that what we've built in the UK can work somewhere else entirely. Our initial targets are Canada, UAE and US. You'll own the GTM hypothesis, build the pipeline, run the sales cycle, and close the first customers. If you succeed, you'll build the team around you. This is a high impact role reporting directly into our co-founders. This role is right for you if...
