Your Role

We’re looking for an Account Executive to join our London based team and work directly with sports organisations across the UK. You’ll primarily focus on the amateur and grassroots football market. As a Sales team, our goal is to understand our clients' pain points and help them make the most of our solutions. This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious professional to focus on sourcing and signing new customers. For this role, we're currently considering candidates who live within a commuting distance of our office in London. You will be required to attend the office a minimum of 3 days a week.

Must-Haves

• Experience. You have some experience in a customer-facing sales role.
• Motivation. You love to beat your own records, expect the best from yourself, and want to keep improving.
• The Dealmaker: A relentless closer with high-velocity drive, using creative negotiation to convert a steady mix of inbound and outbound leads into done deals.
• Organisational skills. You own your territory by mapping out your days with the prospects you’re going to contact.
• Passion for sport and technology. You can’t wait to bring the best sports software in the world to teams across the UK.
• Communication skills. You build relationships and network naturally. You’re not afraid to call the decision-makers and close a sale. You love to talk to people, whether it’s in person, on the phone or over video calls.
• Innovation. You proactively plan and reimagine how to help customers.
• Teamwork. Collaboration is key to our success at Hudl. While you're adept at working independently, you also thrive in a team environment. You understand the importance of leveraging collective strengths and supporting your colleagues to achieve shared goals.

• Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas.
