Job description

At Adclear, we're building the trust layer for how the world's most regulated companies bring products to market. Every bank, lender and investment platform runs into the same invisible pain: compliance review that slows down every campaign, every launch, every idea. We're turning the function that has always said 'no' into infrastructure that says 'yes, and here's how'.

This is a fundamental shift in how regulated industries and compliance teams operate, and we're only at the beginning. Your role here isn't just to hit a number, it's to help redefine how an entire market discovers what's possible, and to build the commercial engine that gets us there.

Founded in 2024, we've already gained the trust of leading innovators as well as established enterprises including Monzo, Lloyds, PensionBee, Kraken, Coinbase and many others.

Our early traction enabled us to raise £2.6m in funding and we're now looking to scale faster. We're moving from founder-led sales to a repeatable growth engine, and we want a hunter who has built that engine before, not someone building it for the first time.

The Basics

Location: London (4 days a week in our Farringdon office)

Pay: up to £100k base, with uncapped, meaningful upside plus equity

Experience: 5+ years in outbound-heavy sales/GTM, having risen through the ranks at a startup, with time spent building process, tooling, or a team from scratch

Reports to: Founders

The role: hunt and close new business, own pipeline generation end-to-end, and build the playbooks, tooling and team structure that let us scale beyond founder-led sales

The role: hunt and close new business, own pipeline generation end-to-end, and build the playbooks, tooling and team structure that let us scale beyond founder-led sales

What You'll Do

• Own the full GTM cycle end-to-end: ICP definition, outbound, discovery, pilot, close, and retainer conversion
• Build and own the CRM, sequencing infrastructure, content-to-pipeline flow, and commercial playbook from the ground up
• Run daily outbound across calls, email and LinkedIn, with phone and in-person meetings as your first move, not your last resort
• Work our warm engine: content, events, podcast and community leads, and convert events into pipeline yourself
• Check inbound signals daily (website visits, demo sign-ups, content downloads) and act on what matters
• Partner directly with the founders on pricing, positioning, and GTM strategy
• Start building the hiring plan and playbook for the team you'll lead as the function scales
• Report on pipeline health, conversion, and what's working well enough to double down on

Your First Wins in the Role

• You've closed net-new business personally and can point to a repeatable process behind it
• You've built (or meaningfully upgraded) the CRM, sequencing, and reporting infrastructure the team runs on
• You're operating with high autonomy and are trusted to make GTM strategy calls with the founders

Must-Haves

• 5+ years in outbound-heavy sales or GTM, having raised through ranks at a startup, with a track record of building - not just executing - process, tooling, or a team
• A genuine hunter mentality: you'd rather be picking up the phone or sitting across the table than waiting on inbound
• Demonstrated ownership of a full commercial cycle: prospecting through close, ideally including team leadership or cross-functional GTM strategy work
• Phone-first and comfortable in person - you don't hide behind email and LinkedIn
• Evidence of hitting or exceeding revenue targets in a scaling environment, with numbers to back it up
• Genuine self-starter who's operated with minimal playbook before and built one from scratch
• Sharp enough to hold a real conversation about a technical, regulated product without needing to be an expert on day one
• Comfortable reporting directly to founders and operating with significant autonomy

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience selling into regulated industries: fintech, legaltech, or healthtech
• Experience building or scaling an outbound or broker/referral channel from zero
• Prior experience as a founding or early commercial hire at a startup
• Direct experience owning or building CRM/rev-ops infrastructure
• An established personal presence or content instinct on LinkedIn

How We Work

• Founders are closely involved in the day-to-day
• No rigid script: you test, learn and adapt on your own initiative
• You own your pipeline end-to-end, including follow-through after a meeting is booked
• The pace is fast and the approach is still being built - you're one of the people building it
• This isn't the right role if you want a fixed formula handed to you on day one

Benefits

• Meaningful equity
• Private healthcare and dental
• Hardware budget
• Monthly gym contribution
• Direct path to building and leading the commercial team as we scale
