• Collaborate cross-functionally with product and customer success teams, bringing insights from the market, customers, and broader economic environment.
• Be a visible, hands-on leader who leads by example and fosters a high-performance culture.

What You Bring

• 3+ years in a senior B2B sales leadership role focused on the UK market
