Who We Are

Stampede helps hospitality operators grow revenue by turning guest data into action.

We connect guest capture, CRM, bookings, reviews and loyalty in one platform, giving teams the tools to fill quieter days, increase repeat visits and improve spend per guest.

We move fast and build constantly. New features and modules ship at pace, pushing what hospitality teams can do with their data and creating fresh opportunities to drive growth every month.

We focus on predictable growth, with better visibility, smarter automation and reporting that proves impact.

The Role

As an Account Executive reporting to the Head of Partner & Client Growth, you will own the full new business sales cycle from first contact to close. You will generate your own pipeline, qualify opportunities, run strong discovery, deliver tailored demos and win new venues.

You will be measured on consistent new revenue output, pipeline health, and the quality of handover into onboarding and account management. This is a role for someone who likes pace, accountability and building a market. With a base salary of £45K to £55K DOE and an OTE of £75K to 90K (uncapped, monthly commission payout) this is an excellent opportunity for an individual with the right skillset.

• Deliver tailored product demos and proposals that link Stampede to measurable growth
• Handle objections confidently and move deals forward with clear commercial next steps

• Handover and Early Account Success
• Run a clean handover into the Onboarding and Account Management teams
• Provide clear context on goals, use cases, stakeholders, timelines and risks
• Stay involved during early rollout for strategic accounts to protect retention and expansion potential
• Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities and feed them into the AM plan
• Market Engagement and Feedback
• Represent Stampede at relevant industry events and operator meet‑ups (occasional travel required)
• Track competitor positioning and pricing, and share insight internally
• Feed back common objections, feature requests and integration needs to product and leadership
• Cross Functional Collaboration
• Work closely with Marketing on lead quality, messaging and follow up discipline
• Coordinate with Partnerships where partner referrals or integrations support deal velocity
• Support commercial planning sessions with insights from pipeline and operator conversations
• Consistent new business revenue through self-generated and inbound opportunities
• A healthy, qualified pipeline that supports predictable monthly growth
• A reputation in the market as a credible, trusted partner to hospitality operators
• Strong handovers that improve onboarding success, retention and long‑term LTV
• Continuous improvements to sales messaging, demos and objection handling based on real market feedback
