• Prospecting through cold calling, email, and social channels
• Running discovery calls and product demos
• Managing objections, negotiating terms, and closing deals
• Building long-term client relationships and contributing to account growth
• Attending client meetings and events across the UK as needed

Who They’re Looking For

The ideal candidate will bring experience in SaaS or software sales, along with a strong grasp of consultative selling and the discipline to manage their pipeline independently. Specifically, they will have:

• A proven background in full-cycle SaaS sales, with exposure to enterprise clients
• Confidence in managing outbound prospecting and driving new business
• Strong communication skills, with evidence of hitting targets and managing pipeline performance
• A structured, process-led approach to sales, with training in a formal methodology (e.g. SPIN, MEDDIC, Challenger)
• The ability to work independently in a remote setting, while staying accountable to goals and metrics
• A curious and adaptable mindset, especially around learning new tools, technologies, and AI
• Willingness to travel regularly for client meetings and events (potentially to North America)
