With a new Chief Revenue Officer in place, we are resetting how we go to market across EMEA — and we are looking for a VP of Sales to build an elite, high-performance sales organisation spanning Enterprise and Commercial across Europe.
You will own a strategically critical and fast-growing revenue region, taking the 8x8 Communications Platform to market across diverse and complex geographies, and creating a culture that is competitive, accountable, and relentlessly focused on winning.
What You'll Own
- EMEA revenue performance across new business and account management
- A multi-layered organisation of Regional Directors and senior leaders, built to scale across multiple markets
- The execution of a platform-led sales motion across UCaaS and CCaaS throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Africa
- A sales culture defined by energy, ambition, accountability, and results
- Close partnership with channel, alliances, and partner organisations across the region
What You'll Do
- Build and lead a best-in-class Enterprise and Commercial sales organisation across EMEA
- Partner closely with the CRO to redefine go-to-market strategy across European markets
- Drive predictable pipeline, forecasting discipline, and consistent target over-achievement across the region
- Personally engage in high-value, complex enterprise deals across key EMEA markets
- Attract, develop, and retain top sales leadership talent across multiple countries and time zones
- Navigate multi-currency, multi-language, and multi-regulatory environments with commercial precision
- Set the pace, raise the bar, and create a team people want to win with

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who You Are
- A proven EMEA sales leader with experience at VP level or equivalent, with direct responsibility for the region
- Deep background in Unified Communications, Contact Center, or cloud communications — ideally with a platform vendor or high-growth SaaS company
- Experienced leading leaders across multiple European and international markets — not just individual contributors
- Comfortable managing the complexity of EMEA: diverse languages, regulations, buyer behaviours, and partner ecosystems
- Highly target-driven, competitive, and commercially sharp with strong financial acumen
- Comfortable operating in fast-change, growth-oriented SaaS environments
- Known for building strong teams, clear accountability, and winning cultures across distributed geographies
- London-based or willing to relocate to London as the base for the role
Why This Role Matters
- Direct influence on strategy, structure, and culture under a new CRO with a clear mandate to grow
- Ownership of a high-growth international territory with global executive visibility
- A differentiated single-platform story — UCaaS and CCaaS combined — in a crowded and fragmented market
- The chance to build something significant across EMEA, not just inherit it
- A London HQ that puts you at the centre of 8x8's EMEA commercial operations
