Job description

RotaCloud is a growth-stage technology company based in the centre of York, providing workforce management software to more than 5,000 small and medium businesses across the UK and worldwide. We’ve reached several million pounds in ARR without taking a penny of outside funding - and we’re just getting started.

To fuel our next stage of growth, we’re hiring a full-time Account Executive to convert inbound demand into long-term customers. This is a full-cycle SaaS sales role where you’ll own opportunities from discovery to close, run value-led demos, and build relationships that turn into revenue.

• Maintain excellent pipeline hygiene and credible forecasting
• Hand over cleanly to Customer Success so customers start strong

What We’re Looking For

• Experience selling to SMB and/or mid-market (and comfortable stepping into more complex, multi-stakeholder deals)
• Strong consultative selling: great questions, great listening, clear commercial judgement
• Confident running product demos and handling objections with senior stakeholders

• Resilient, organised, collaborative - you follow through and you do what you say you’ll do
