Job description

Are you ambitious, people-focused, and looking for a career where your hard work can accelerate your progression?

Do you enjoy building relationships, helping customers, and being part of a fast-growing business?

Want to join an award-winning AI company that's transforming how businesses grow and succeed?

We're working with a high-growth technology company based in Leeds that is changing the way businesses use AI to drive commercial success. Their platform helps clients achieve an average 8:1 return on investment, they've recently received industry recognition for their innovative use of AI, and generated over £3.5 million in revenue last year alone.

Backed by private equity and with ambitious growth plans ahead, they're now looking to invest in the next generation of commercial talent.

The Role

As a Junior Account Executive, you'll be responsible for building relationships with prospective and existing customers, understanding their business challenges, and helping them identify solutions that deliver real value.

You'll work closely with senior members of the commercial team, learning how to manage customer conversations, uncover opportunities, and support the growth of client accounts. This role offers a fantastic foundation for someone looking to build a long-term career in SaaS sales and account management.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Building relationships with prospective and existing customers
• Conducting discovery conversations to understand customer needs and challenges
• Supporting customers throughout their journey and ensuring a positive experience
• Working closely with senior sales and customer success leaders
• Identifying opportunities to grow customer accounts and introduce additional solutions
• Managing and developing your own portfolio of accounts
• Learning the full commercial sales process within a high-growth SaaS business

As you develop, you'll take on greater responsibility for customer conversations, account growth, and revenue generation, with clear progression opportunities across the commercial team.

Who We're Looking For

Previous SaaS, sales, or account management experience isn't essential.

What matters most is that you're a strong communicator who enjoys working with people, building relationships, and is excited by the opportunity to develop a successful career in the technology sector.

You may currently be:

• Working in recruitment and looking for a more commercial role
• Coming from retail, hospitality, estate agency or customer service
• A graduate with strong extracurricular achievements or leadership experience
• Working in another people-focused environment and keen to move into tech

We're looking for people who are:

• Ambitious and motivated by progression
• Confident communicators who enjoy building relationships
• Commercially curious and eager to learn
• Organised and proactive
• Positive, resilient and solution-focused
• Comfortable speaking with a range of stakeholders
• Looking to build a long-term career within a growing technology business

What's On Offer?

• Full training and development programme
• Clear progression opportunities
• Opportunity to join an award-winning AI business
• PE-backed company with exciting growth ambitions
• Exposure to one of the fastest-growing sectors in technology
• Collaborative, supportive and high-performing team environment

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with people, developing commercial skills, and building long-term relationships with customers. With structured training, genuine progression opportunities, and a market-leading AI platform, it's an excellent opportunity to kick-start a successful career in SaaS sales and account management.
