That’s why we help teams from all over the world see their game differently. Our products make it easier for coaches and athletes at any level to capture video, analyze data, share highlights and more. Ready to join us?

Your Role

We’re looking for an Account Executive to join our U.K or Barcelona based teams to work directly with sports organisations across the Scandinavian Region. You’ll primarily focus on the semi-professional, 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 offices in either London or Barcelona. But with our flexible work policy, there aren't any current requirements for the number of days you come to the office.

Must-Haves

• Experience. You have some experience in a customer-facing sales role, and you’ve shown a commitment to your sales education by enrolling in a development programme.
• Motivation. You love to beat your own records, expect the best from yourself, and want to keep improving.
• 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 Europe.
• 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.
• Travel. You’re happy to hit the road and visit customers on a consistent basis, as often as a few times a month.

Nice‑to‑Haves

• Sports background. Previous experience in the sporting environment, particularly football is strongly preferred.
• Additional sales experience. You understand SaaS sales methodologies and consulting methodologies, know why we always put the customer first, and strive to generate revenue by excelling at technical pre‑sales and solution consulting.

Our Role

• Champion work‑life harmony. We’ll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time above any required statutory leave, company‑wide holidays and timeout (meeting‑free) days, remote work options and more) so you can enjoy your personal life too.
• 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.
• Encourage career growth. We’re lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We’ll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
• Provide an environment to help you succeed. We've invested in our offices, designing incredible spaces with our employees in mind. But whether you’re at the office or working remotely, we’ll provide you the tech you need to do your best work.
• Support your wellbeing. Depending on location, we offer medical and retirement benefits for employees—but no matter where you’re located, we have resources like our Employee Assistance Program and employee resource groups to support your mental health.
