Director of Sales, US [East Coast]

Who are we?

We are a female-founded scale-up, currently made up of around 100 AltoVitians. Our fully-remote team hails from 26 different countries and collectively speaks 29 languages. Most of the time, it is our differences that are celebrated (whether they are in cultures, personalities, preferences or passions). However, despite those differences, there are a few principal attributes that we share which define an AltoVitian. AltoVitians are tenacious, humble, and thoughtful. Being humble is important because it enables us to keep learning every day, and tenacity is necessary because in a high performing environment as fast-paced as AltoVita , taking it slow is simply not an option!

As we look to scale our Global Commercial engine, today is a particularly exciting time to join our team. This next chapter won’t always be a smooth ride, but it will be filled with innovation, excitement and opportunities. If you are ambitious, commercially hungry and ready for the challenge (and the fun!) of growing with us, we would love to hear from you.

AltoVita ’s unique offering sets us apart in the market, providing a network of 10 million+ verified and vetted properties are all duty of care compliant, backed by a four-tier quality control process; located in over 35,000 cities & 165 countries world-wide. With our award-winning enterprise software and human-centric approach, we deliver smart and sustainable solutions to global talent mobility & business travel managers worldwide.

Our Client Development team plays a vital role as trusted advisors and partners to our clients.

AltoVita ’s technology provides a cloud-based bridge between the highly fragmented property distribution system and multinational Global 2000 companies.

Corporate clients love the bespoke user interface seamlessly configured to their mobility policies, and employees enjoy a greater sense of choice and support in their relocation journey.
