Sales Director for Kahf Router
We are looking for a highly skilled Sales Director for Kahf Router at Kahf Bangladesh Ltd., specializing in strategic growth, digital marketing, and sales, with a strong product orientation. This is a founding, high-ownership role: you will lead the go-to-market and commercial strategy for our first hardware product in Bangladesh, selling a brand-new product into B2B channels — ISPs, telecom operators, retailers, and distributors — and build the partnerships that get Kahf Router into homes at scale.
Position Overview
As Sales Director for Kahf Router, you will lead the go-to-market and commercial strategy for our first hardware product in Bangladesh.
This is a founding, high-ownership role. You will sell a brand-new product into B2B channels — ISPs, telecom operators, retailers, and distributors — and build the partnerships that get Kahf Router into homes at scale. You will be the driving commercial force behind bringing Kahf mission into a physical product category for the first time.
We are not looking for someone who manages a pipeline from a distance — we want a commercial leader who opens doors, sits at the negotiation table, closes deals personally, and builds the sales engine from the ground up while doing it. If you are a dealmaker who thrives on launching something from zero, who knows Bangladesh's telecom and retail ecosystem inside out, and who genuinely believes in what Kahf stands for — this is the role for you.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- You are a senior sales leader who still loves to sell. Leadership does not mean leaving the field — you set the standard by opening and closing the biggest deals yourself.
- You have carried and delivered revenue targets before — you are comfortable being accountable for a P&L, not just a pipeline.
- You have a real network in Bangladesh's telecom, ISP, or consumer electronics ecosystem — and you know how to turn relationships into signed agreements.
- You think strategically, not just tactically. You connect channel decisions to business outcomes, weigh pricing and volume trade-offs, and help shape the commercial roadmap — not just hit this quarter's number.
- You take ownership of ambiguous, zero-to-one problems — launching a new product category from scratch in a fast-moving startup is exactly the kind of challenge you want.
- You are a natural team builder who can recruit, mentor, and manage sales talent as the business scales.
- You are an excellent communicator who can speak credibly to ISP executives, retail buyers, and Islamic-minded consumer audiences alike — in both Bengali and English.
- You balance ambition with pragmatism — chasing scale without cutting corners on partner relationships that hurt later.
- You are genuinely aligned with Kahf's mission of building halal, family-safe technology.
- You operate with the maturity to represent Kahf in front of C-level partners — and the energy to build alongside a fast-growing team.
Key Responsibilities
- Owning the sales and channel strategy for launching Kahf Router in the Bangladesh market — end-to-end, with full ownership of revenue targets for the product line.
- Building and closing partnerships with ISPs and telecom/mobile operators to bundle Kahf Router with internet packages or promote it as a value-added device.
- Establishing distribution and retail partnerships with electronics retailers, e-commerce platforms, and hardware distributors.
- Negotiating pricing, volume, and co-marketing agreements with carriers and distribution partners.
- Building a sales pipeline and team as the router business scales — recruiting and managing regional sales representatives or channel managers over time.
- Working closely with Product and Engineering across Kahf's international teams to relay market feedback, pricing sensitivity, and feature requests from partners and customers.
- Developing positioning and sales materials that speak to both ISP/B2B buyers and Islamic-minded consumer audiences.
- Representing Kahf Router at trade shows, telecom industry events, and retail partner meetings.
- Tracking sales performance, partner pipeline, and revenue against targets in a CRM (HubSpot, Mattermost, Salesforce, or equivalent), and reporting to leadership.
- Coordinating with Kahf's marketing team to align launch campaigns (e.g., around Ramadan and Eid) with channel sales pushes.
Required Qualifications
- 10+ years of B2B sales or business development experience, including 3–4+ years in a senior sales leadership role (Director, Head of Sales, or equivalent).
- Experience selling hardware, consumer electronics, or networking/telecom products (routers, modems, CPE devices, or similar) — OR strong experience selling into ISPs/telecom operators even without a hardware background.
- An existing network within Bangladesh's telecom, ISP, or consumer electronics retail ecosystem.
- A track record of closing distribution, channel, or carrier partnership deals.
- Comfort operating in a fast-moving startup launching a new product category.
- Strong communication and negotiation skills in Bengali and English.
- Proficiency with CRM tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, or equivalent) for pipeline and partner management.
- Genuine alignment with Kahf's mission.
Preferred Qualifications
- Direct relationships with Bangladeshi ISPs/telecom operators (Grameenphone, Robi, Banglalink, etc.) or router/CPE distributors.
- Experience launching a new hardware product or managing a product's go-to-market from scratch.
- Background in networking technology (routers, DNS, home network security) sufficient to speak credibly with technical partners.
- Experience with retail/e-commerce channel sales in Bangladesh.
Educational Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Marketing, Sales, or a related field from a recognized university.
- Master's degree (MBA or equivalent) in Sales, Marketing, or Strategic Management is preferred.
- Strong foundation in customer behavior, sales analytics, and market research — with the ability to apply these to channel strategy and partnership decisions.
Compensation
- Salary range: BDT 2,50,000 – 3,00,000 per month (based on experience and skills).
- Performance-based bonuses for exceptional performers.
- Ground-floor opportunity to launch and own a new product category for a fast-growing company.
- Career growth into a regional or global commercial leadership role as Kahf Router expands beyond Bangladesh into other markets.
Benefits & Perquisites
- 10 days of Casual Leave per year
- 7 days of Sick Leave per year
- 5 days of Annual Leave per year
- Eid bonuses
- Special spiritual leaves (such as Itikaf leave)
- Free meals & snacks at the office
- A workplace supportive of Islamic practices and spiritual commitments
- Opportunity for career growth in a values-driven environment
