Through proprietary software and AI, along with a focus on customer delight, Sleek makes the back‑office easy for micro SMEs. We give entrepreneurs time back to focus on what they love doing – growing their business and being with customers. With a surging number of entrepreneurs globally, we are innovating in a highly lucrative space.

Business Segments

• Corporate Secretary: Automating the company incorporation, secretarial, filing, nominee director, mailroom and immigration processes via custom online robots and SleekSign. We are the market leaders in Singapore with 5% market share of all new business incorporations.
• Accounting & Bookkeeping: Redefining what it means to do accounting, bookkeeping, tax and payroll thanks to our proprietary SleekBooks ledger, AI tools and exceptional customer service.
• FinTech Payments: Overcoming a key challenge for entrepreneurs by offering digital banking services to new businesses.

About Sleek

Sleek launched in 2017 and now has around 15,000 customers across our offices in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and the UK. We have around 500 staff with an intact startup mindset.

We have recently raised Series B financing off the back of >70% compound annual growth in revenue over the last 5 years. Sleek has been recognised by The Financial Times, The Straits Times, Forbes and LinkedIn as one of the fastest growing companies in Asia.

Backed by world‑class investors, we are on track to be one of the few cash‑flow positive, tech‑enabled unicorns based out of Singapore.

Requirements

Mission

Lead by example to help create a high‑performing, engaged and scalable inbound sales team for Sleek in the UK.

Outcomes

• Convert inbound leads into new business, improving upon existing lead conversion ratios.
• Become a specialist in Sleek’s market and offerings, thereby adding value to all leads (converted or not).
• Provide a professional and delightful experience to prospects, helping to grow word of mouth and brand value for Sleek in the UK.
• Work closely with other inbound sales reps in the UK, sharing feedback and tactics in a collaborative environment.
• Maintain a clear and tidy pipeline of opportunities in HubSpot, ensuring reporting is timely and accurate.
• Allocate time each month to identify and communicate upsell opportunities to the UK Country Manager, Sleek’s Head of Sales and Sleek’s CRO.
• Allocate time each month to absorb and share learnings with other inbound sales team members serving the Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia markets.

To do this, you will have a minimum of 5 years experience in sales in the UK.

Ideally, most of your recent sales experience will have been in inbound sales and you will have held your last two roles for at least 18 months (barring exceptional circumstances). Most of your selling experience will have been in B2B or SaaS and/or services similar to what Sleek offers in the UK.

Our preference is that in at least your last role you have coached and/or managed other team members.

You will be a native English speaker and located within an hour of London or Leeds, making it easy for you to come to our offices at least once per week.

Behavioural Fit

Ownership

This shows reliability and helps build trust within the team. We move fast and need to see everyone complete projects and proactively get things back on track when challenges arise. Accountability is really important to us.

Humility

Humility allows for open‑mindedness to feedback and a willingness to learn from others. It paves the way for collaboration and creates a positive work environment.

Structured Thinking

Being able to show sound judgement balances the needs of the organisation, team and customers, ensuring solutions are pragmatic.

A Great Listener

Present in a kind, calm, warm, attentive manner – working cooperatively to understand prospects’ needs and never interrupting them.

Data Driven

We are a data‑rich business with 15,000 small customers. Each decision can impact many more people than we realise, so it’s critical to use sound data to support our strategies.

Can Have Tough Conversations in a Positive Way

Distractions, conflict and disappointment are a given in a fast‑moving business where people care about their work. Those who proactively have tough conversations with kindness build empathy, trust and great working relationships.

About the Interview Process

The successful candidate will participate in the following interview stages. The process is designed to last no more than 3 weeks from start to finish, depending on your availability.

Interview Stages

• HR Screening – A quick call with our Talent Acquisition Lead.
• Case Study / Technical Round – A 60‑minute case study presentation with a Senior Account Executive.
• Career Deep Dive & Behavioural Fit Interview – Interviews with our Global Head of Sales & CRO.
• References Check & Offer – Final reference checks followed by an offer.

• Your education
• Any criminal history
• Any political exposure
• Any bankruptcy or adverse credit history

Benefits

Humility and Kindness

We are committed to creating and nurturing a diverse and inclusive environment, committing to a culture of humor and openness.

Flexibility

You’ll be able to work from home 3‑4 days a week. If you need to start early or late to cater to your family or other needs, we don’t mind, so long as you get your work done and proactively communicate. You can also work fully remote from anywhere in the world for 1 month each year.

Financial Benefits

We pay competitive market salaries and provide staff with generous paid time off and holiday schedules. Certain staff are eligible for our employee share ownership plan and can share in the upside of our growth trajectory as we work toward listing on a prominent stock exchange in the Asia Pacific region.

Personal Growth

You'll get a lot of responsibility and autonomy, making decisions, learning and receiving internal and external training programmes. We’re at the forefront of AI and are developing a regional centre of AI excellence. Our intent is that if you leave Sleek, you leave as a more well‑rounded person and professional.

Corporate Responsibility

Sleek is also a proudly certified B Corp. Since 2017, we’ve committed to building Sleek as a force for good. We have joined a community of industry leaders like Patagonia, Ben & Jerry’s and P&G who are building an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy.
