The entire commercial organization.

Commercial performance depends on the people who win customers, build brands, create demand, retain accounts and turn strategy into revenue. Sonkei connects organizations with commercial talent worldwide, across every continent and every industry.

Sonkei is defined by functional specialization, not industry or geography. We recruit across sales, marketing, business development, revenue operations, sales operations, customer growth and the commercial leadership roles that connect them — at every seniority level, globally.
