About AOTO

AOTO is a Swedish fintech company building a digital operating system for car dealers, combining inventory financing, end consumer financing packaged together with warranties and insurance, automated bookkeeping and digital services in one platform. The goal is simple: help car dealers make faster, smarter decisions and maximise their buy and sell potential.

We're in an exciting early stage, building the product from scratch with clear ambitions to expand across Europe. This role is central to getting us there.

As we move into new markets, you're the one designing the playbook and recruiting the people to run it. What you'll own:

Commercial strategy - set the direction for growth, pricing and go-to-market across all our revenue streamsSales & revenue - build the pipeline, close the early deals yourself, then hire and lead the sales organisation that scales itThe team - recruit, structure and lead a high-performing commercial team from the very first hireEuropean expansion - plan and execute our entry into new markets, adapting the playbook to eachPartnerships - build the channels and relationships that accelerate growth

A track record of building and scaling commercial and sales functions in a high-growth B2B settingExperience growing a business internationally, ideally across European marketsA hands-on builder's mentality - as happy closing a deal as setting the strategyThe ability to attract, build and lead a high-performing commercial teamFluency in Swedish and English; other European languages are a plus
