Job description

The job hunting process is sh*t so we flipped it on its head. With Jumpstart, sales roles at high-growth startups find you.

Right now, we're hiring an Account Executive at a VC backed Climate Tech startup whose platform helps heat pump installers run every job from first enquiry to compliance paperwork.

The platform has grown from zero to 700 installer customers in just over a year with minimal marketing spend and one salesperson. You'll take over the sales engine: closing inbound demos, building the process from scratch and working with the founder on bigger deals with manufacturers, suppliers and energy companies.

What you'll do:

Run the full sales cycle on qualified inbound demo requests, from chasing to close, with installers of all sizes

Design and refine the sales process from the ground up, rather than follow an existing playbook

Work with the founder to land larger deals with manufacturers, suppliers and energy companies

Is this you?

How does Jumpstart work?

We help experienced salespeople land roles at the UK's most exciting VC-backed startups and scaleups.

Founders pitch to you: founder videos show you the role, the team and what they actually need before you commit to a conversation.

Startups apply to you: alongside two-click applications, companies that like your profile send you interview requests.

No recruiters in the middle: when the interest is mutual, we introduce you straight to the founder or hiring lead.

Respect for your time: a CV and a 30-minute screening call. No case studies, no take-home tasks.

Ongoing career growth: you'll join the Jumpstart community, with mentorship, events and more long after you've signed.

On average it takes 4-6 weeks to land an offer. You can run the process alongside your current role, and hide your profile from your current employer.

Once you're in, you get access to AE, Account Manager, founding sales and sales lead roles from Seed to Series B+.
