Country Manager, US

## About the role This is Partly's most consequential commercial hire of 2026. As Country Manager, USA, you will own the US market entry and scale for Partly — a company that has spent years building Interpreter, the world's only foundation model purpose-built for automotive parts, and is now deploying it into the largest repair market on earth. You'll be based in Austin, leading a growing US team, and making the calls that determine whether Partly becomes the AI for the US repair industry — or watches someone else claim that ground. This is not a role for someone who needs a playbook handed to them. The US automotive repair market sits on top of $150B+ of B2B parts sold annually — flowing through over 40,000 collision shops and over 100,000 service and repair shops. The parts procurement workflow at the centre of this market hasn't changed in decades: estimators run five or more disconnected platforms manually on every job, estimates are wrong more often than they're right, and every decision threads a web of insurer rules no tool currently enforces automatically. Partly's advantage is Interpreter — trained on licensed OEM build data across 52+ manufacturer agreements and continuously updated by feedback loops from thousands of users across Partly's international network. No general-purpose AI model matches it on parts accuracy. That is what makes agentic procurement automation possible at the precision the repair industry demands — and it is what no competitor can replicate in any reasonable timeframe. The window to own this category is open. It will not stay open long. This role exists because that window cannot be seized from London or New Zealand — someone needs to be on the ground in Austin, making the calls on market entry, customer sequencing, partnerships, and team-building fast enough to reach the milestones. ## What will you do - Own the US market entry decision. Make the calls that matter most in the first 90 days — which segments to lead with, which motion to run, which partnerships to pursue first, and how to sequence the team build. No playbook exists yet. You write it. - Land foundational partner agreements across the repair ecosystem. Structure and close first-of-kind commercial agreements with the players that define how parts flow through the US repair industry — Tier 1 and 2 MSOs, carriers, OEM dealer networks, software platforms, and distributors. These are not standard SaaS deals. Each one shapes Partly's US commercial framework for years. - Convert active pilots to enterprise contracts. Partly has live pilots with major enterprise businesses in market. You inherit the relationships and own the conversion — building the commercial frameworks, pilot structures, and MSAs that every subsequent enterprise hire will inherit. - Launch Partly's AI tools into the repairer market. The biggest problem in collision repair isn't fixing the car — it's everything that gets in the way of it. Partly's AI removes the parts procurement burden, the estimate errors, and the admin that eats a repairer's day, so they can focus on the repair itself and do it to the highest standard. You own getting that proposition in front of the repairers who need it most. - Shape Partly's product and proposition for the US market. The US repair industry has its own platforms, workflows, insurer relationships, and procurement norms. You are the voice of the US customer inside Partly — working with Product and Solutions to ensure what we build fits how American repairers, MSOs, and carriers actually operate, and that our commercial proposition lands the way it needs to in this market. - Build and lead the US team. Hire, onboard, and develop the enterprise sales, field sales, solutions engineering, and marketing functions. The US team reports into this role. The team you build is the commercial engine Partly will run on for the next five years. - Establish Partly's brand and presence in the US repair industry. Become the face of Partly at the conferences, associations, and industry moments that matter. Build the warm network across repairers, insurers, OEMs, and platform partners that no amount of marketing spend can substitute for. ## What we offer Partly partly has offices in London (UK), Christchurch (NZ) and Austin (Texas).
