At UKG, the work you do matters. The code you ship, the decisions you make, and the care you show a customer all add up to real impact. Today, tens of millions of workers start and end their days with our workforce operating platform. Helping people get paid, grow in their careers, and shape the future of their industries. That’s what we do. We never stop learning. We never stop challenging the norm. We push for better, and we celebrate the wins along the way. Here, you’ll get flexibility that’s real, benefits you can count on, and a team that succeeds together. Because at UKG, your work matters—and so do you.

Why this role?

This isn’t an entry‑level SMB sales role. It’s an opportunity to step into more strategic selling. You’ll own a territory of organisations with up to 600 employees, managing complex sales opportunities, engaging executive stakeholders and helping organisations transform how they manage their workforce. You’ll be trusted to own your territory while being supported by experienced leaders, Solution Consultants, Marketing and Business Development teams that help you succeed. If your goal is Enterprise Sales in the future, this is exactly the type of experience that gets you there.

What You’ll Be Doing

Build and execute your territory strategy.
Prospect and generate your own pipeline through outbound activity and referrals.
Run consultative discovery with HR, Finance, Operations and Executive stakeholders.
Build compelling business cases that demonstrate measurable commercial outcomes.
Lead complex buying committees through the entire sales cycle.
Negotiate and close new business.
Deliver accurate forecasting through Salesforce.
Consistently exceed your sales targets.

Who We’re Looking For

This role is ideal for someone who’s already successful and wants to accelerate their career. You’ll probably have:

2+ years of success in SaaS sales or running your own successful business.
A track record of exceeding quota.
Strong outbound prospecting skills.
Experience running full sales cycles.
Confidence presenting to senior decision-makers.
A consultative approach to selling.
A genuine desire to continue learning and growing.

You don’t need Enterprise Sales experience - you do need the ambition to get there.

Why Sales Professionals Stay at UKG

We believe great salespeople want more than a good commission plan. They want to keep growing.

At UKG You’ll Benefit From

A recognised global brand that opens doors.
Award-winning HCM and Workforce Management solutions.
World-class sales enablement and coaching.
Genuine career pathways into Enterprise, Strategic and Global Account sales.

Hybrid working flexibility.
Uncapped commissions and accelerators.
Outstanding employee benefits, including U Choose, wellbeing programs, tuition reimbursement and paid volunteering.
