Hello👋I am Andrew, General Manager Revenue at Kayzen, and I am now looking for a Sales Director (US) - Agencies to join our global team 🙌

In this role, you will play a vital role in driving customer satisfaction, fostering long-term relationships in the US market, contributing to the overall growth and success of the company.
