Australian hospitality is shifting towards activity-led venues. Bowling, mini golf, darts, private karaoke rooms: operators are turning floor space into something for guests to do, because customers are drinking less and every square metre has to earn its keep.

Karaoke is one of the strongest options in that shift. It is among the most food and drink led activities an operator can add, it brings in a broader crowd than most, and a well-run room gets booked out. What most venues are still running it on is software and hardware from another era.

Singa is looking for an Account Executive to grow our business across Australia and New Zealand.

You will inherit a strong existing customer base, manage and expand some of our most important accounts in the region, and increasingly spend your time winning new venues and hospitality groups.

This is our first commercial hire on the ground in the region. If you are commercially driven, comfortable in a venue as well as on a sales call, and want a role with plenty of room to grow, we would like to hear from you.

Location: Australia. Sydney or Melbourne preferred. Remote, with regular travel to customers.

Team: B2B Sales

Reports to: Global Team Lead, B2B

You will own a commercial territory across Australia and New Zealand, with two main priorities: winning new business and growing a focused portfolio of key accounts.

The role begins with our existing customers. That gives you the fastest way to understand how karaoke performs in the market, what our strongest venues look like and why customers choose Singa.

As you ramp up, the balance shifts increasingly towards new business.

You will have support around you. Outbound campaigns and sales sequences are built and run centrally, inbound demand is routed through an existing process, and our Customer Success team supports onboarding and ongoing customer success.

Your job is to turn that support into local commercial results.

You will also be close enough to the market to help us get better at selling into it: which venue types are worth targeting, what operators respond to, which objections keep appearing and what customers are asking for.

Direct outreach remains part of the role, but it is targeted rather than volume-driven. When there is a hospitality group, entertainment operator or venue worth having, you will often be the person starting the conversation.

How the role builds

Months 1–2: Learn the market through the accounts we already have

• Take over relationships with a focused group of larger venues and hospitality groups.

• Understand why they chose Singa, how karaoke performs commercially for them and what distinguishes a strong site from an average one.

• Join sales calls, onboardings and customer conversations with colleagues who have managed the market remotely.

Months 2–4: Take commercial ownership

• Begin running renewals, expansion conversations and business reviews across your accounts.

• Start converting inbound opportunities and campaign-generated demand in the region.

• Stay close enough to onboarding and implementation to understand what you are selling and what makes a successful launch.
  

Months 4–6 and beyond: Shift towards new business

• As you become established, most of your time moves towards opening new venues and hospitality groups.

• That includes opportunities generated through campaigns and inbound demand, accounts you identify yourself with, trade shows, partnerships and time spent visiting customers.

• Your key accounts remain yours, but on a rhythm that leaves new business as the primary growth focus.

What the work actually looks like

The account base in Australia and New Zealand looks like most hospitality markets: a relatively small number of larger groups where one commercial decision can influence several venues, and a long tail of independents. The larger groups are where most of your account management work is. Smaller venues are primarily served through our self-service products and support team, so you will not spend your week managing a long queue of small customer requests.

Once ramped, a realistic week might include two or three days focused on new business conversations and customer visits, one to two days working with existing key accounts and expansion opportunities, and the remaining time on sales handovers, events, partners and collaboration with the global team.

Travel is a genuine part of the role. Venues buy karaoke from people who have stood in their room, heard how it sounds and understand how the concept works operationally.

There is also a physical side to karaoke. We sell software, but a karaoke room often includes screens, speakers, microphones, mixers and sometimes acoustic or installation work. In our more established markets, local AV partners handle much of this. Australia and New Zealand are still developing that network, so you will help us identify strong local installers and integrators who can support customers in the region.

You will work with colleagues across Europe, so there will occasionally be early or late calls, balanced by a high degree of autonomy over how you organize your schedule locally.

Singa is the modern karaoke solution for venues and people who love singing.

Founded in Finland in 2015, Singa now runs in more than 2,000 hospitality venues across 36 countries, with a licensed catalogue of over 150,000 songs growing by around 2,000 tracks every month, as well as 2 million registered singers using our consumer app.

Singa was the first karaoke service to partner with a major record label, giving venues access to original master recordings alongside a large catalogue of karaoke versions.

Our venue products — Lite, Pro, Kiosk and Box — cover hosted karaoke, self-service karaoke and private karaoke rooms, serving everything from pubs and bowling alleys to competitive socialising venues and dedicated karaoke bars.

Australia and New Zealand are already one of Singa's largest markets outside the Nordics, US & UK, built so far without anyone based locally. This role changes that.
