Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkpYpWfEK5s. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion.
Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for a Country Manager to be the single-threaded owner of establishing and growing Notion’s presence in Taiwan. This is a market-building leadership role. You will create initial market momentum, convert early demand into lighthouse customer wins, and install a repeatable operating system that scales.
Think of it as building a startup within Notion: you will own Notion's mission delivery and revenue maximization in-country — leading the Sales team while partnering closely with Marketing, Customer Success, Professional Services, and other cross-functional teams to maximize impact. You'll operate with a high degree of autonomy in local decision-making, while staying tightly aligned with global and regional strategy. You'll report to the APAC GM.
WHAT YOU’LL ACHIEVE
You will own all revenue of the Taiwan business
Recruit and develop a high-performing sales team to drive pipeline and revenue
Deeply understand existing and prospective Notion users in-market — their workflows, use cases, and unmet needs — and translate those insights into a market strategy
Build momentum in the local ecosystem through community, startups, and strategic partnerships

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Mission-driven founder energy: You are inspired by Notion's mission to help people build beautiful tools for their life's work, and you bring a founder-like commitment to growing the business. You've built 0→1 in a market or segment, thrive in ambiguity, and have high agency. Hands-on — running events, quarterbacking deals, writing the playbook
Technical and AI fluency: Credible demoing Notion + AI Agents, and discussing integrations and workflows with technical audiences
Locally embedded: You have a deep network in Taiwan (startup, VC, community, media)
Ecosystem builder: You build partner loops and repeatable programs, not one-off events
Public face: Comfortable with press, podcasts, conferences, and founder/CxO conversations. Credible with startup founders and enterprise executives alike
Strong GTM collaboration: You make the ecosystem motion measurable through routes, follow-ups, and handoffs to regional teams
Sales leadership: Proven ability to build and lead a strong sales team that consistently delivers revenue results
Data-driven operator: You bring a data-driven mindset to planning, goal-setting, and tracking progress. You know how to build and run a scorecard, analyze performance, and make clear investment recommendations
WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO BRING
10+ years of professional experience, with a strong track record in sales, business development, or market-building roles, including 3+ years in a people management role
Experience working in and managing Taiwan markets, ideally across startup, mid-market, and enterprise segments
Comfortable with the ambiguity and pace of iteration of an early-stage operation
Strong empathy for customers and passion for revenue and growth
Fluent in English; proficiency in additional regional languages is a plus
NICE TO HAVES
Experience at a high-growth SaaS/AI company operating in Taiwan
Native or fluent Mandarin and English or other regional language skills
Experience selling or evangelizing productivity, collaboration, or developer tools
Track record of building and scaling community-led or product-led growth motions
You don’t need to be an AI expert, but you’re curious and willing to adopt AI tools to work smarter and deliver better results

A NOTE ON AI
You don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement — when that’s the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on.
