You will manage all aspects of the sales process including lead management, qualification, evaluation, close, and account care. Additionally, we are looking for collaborative, hungry, nimble, and intelligent Sellers with the ability and willingness to close large deals. This is a quota-carrying position.

What you will be doing

• Responsible for new logo acquisition and increase in share of wallet within the install base ($250M - $5B revenue).
• Be accountable for your number, and exceed sales goals (quotas) quarterly and annually by building a healthy pipeline and opportunity conversion execution.

• A proven track record of over-achievement both as New Business Sales and Account Management.
• Consultative selling experience delivering business value/impact for Enterprise customers.
• Experience conversing comfortably within a C-suite environment and managing complex sales cycles and numerous concurrent high-value deals.
• The position is based out of London, but the Sales team covers the EMEA region and travel (25%) may be required.
• Siteimprove supports and encourages non-traditional CVs when it comes to professional background, as outcomes matter most. There are many ways toward the right combination of experience and training that provide the required knowledge, skills, and abilities for this role.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced, rapid-change environment.
