Everyone is trusted to take ownership, move fast, and have a meaningful impact.

About The Role

We are looking for an experienced Enterprise Account Executive who wants to join our early sales team at a very fast‑growing startup. We value intelligent, thoughtful, and reflective salespeople who build trust and meaningful connections with prospects. The role could develop into a leadership position managing a team of AEs, or stay as an individual contributor role closing our largest deals.

• Serve as a consultative trusted advisor with a focus on developing and closing new business opportunities with prospective Xelix customers.
• Manage a portfolio of prospects at various stages of the sales cycle with leads developed by the Xelix partner network.
• Conduct assessments to understand prospects’ pain points and develop roadmaps and business cases for their finance transformation using Xelix solutions.
• Manage and forecast sales activity and opportunities by flawlessly executing the Xelix sales process and playbook.
• Attend in‑person meetings on client sites, as well as industry events such as user groups, trade shows, and conferences to build and manage relationships with prospective and existing customers.

• 2+ years closing enterprise SaaS deals.
• Expertise using MEDDICC or a similar sales methodology.
• Experience managing long and complex sales cycles with multiple stakeholders.
• Proven ability to self‑source and generate pipeline.
• Consecutive years of quota attainment at a technology company.
• Experience selling into the CFO office.

Big Plus Points

• Specific knowledge of the Accounts Payable space.
• Multilingual.

• Competitive base salary starting at £70 k, with the potential to double earnings through OTE.
• 27 days of annual leave (including 3 days Christmas closing); option to roll over 3 days.
• Hybrid working: three days a week from our dog‑friendly Hoxton office and on‑site gym.
