Job description

Are you ambitious, competitive, and looking for a career where your hard work directly impacts your progression and earnings?

Have you worked towards targets before and enjoyed the challenge of hitting goals and being recognised for your performance?

Want to break into SaaS sales with an award-winning AI business that's growing rapidly and investing heavily in its future?

We're working with a high-growth technology company based in Leeds that is transforming how businesses use AI to drive commercial success. Their platform helps clients achieve an average 8:1 return on investment, they've been recognised with an award 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 for the coming years, they're looking to add driven, commercially minded individuals to their growing sales team.

The Role

This is an entry-level Sales Executive opportunity designed for someone who wants to build a long-term career in SaaS sales.

Initially, you'll focus on generating new business opportunities, engaging with prospective clients, and building relationships with key decision-makers. You'll be responsible for creating sales opportunities through outbound activity, whilst learning the skills needed to become a successful B2B salesperson.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Identifying and researching prospective clients
• Reaching out to decision-makers via phone, email and LinkedIn
• Building relationships and understanding client challenges
• Booking qualified meetings and creating sales opportunities
• Managing and developing a pipeline of prospects
• Working closely with senior sales leaders to learn the full sales process

Whilst you'll start on the front end of the sales funnel, the business has a clear progression path in place. High performers are developed into full-cycle salespeople, with opportunities to take ownership of deals and progress into closing roles as they grow within the business.

Who We're Looking For

You don't need previous SaaS sales experience, but you should have experience working towards targets, KPIs, goals or performance metrics in some capacity.

You may currently be:

• Working in recruitment and looking for a more dedicated sales role
• Coming from retail, hospitality, estate agency or another target-driven environment
• A graduate with strong extracurricular achievements, sports experience or leadership responsibilities
• In a customer-facing role where you've been measured against performance objectives

We're particularly interested in people who are:

• Ambitious and motivated by career progression
• Confident communicators who enjoy speaking with people
• Resilient and comfortable stepping outside their comfort zone
• Competitive and driven to succeed
• Eager to learn and develop new skills

What's On Offer?

• Award-winning AI business at the forefront of innovation
• PE-backed company with exciting growth plans
• Full training and ongoing development
• Clear progression into closing and senior sales roles
• Modern, collaborative office environment in Leeds
• Opportunity to join a business with a proven growth strategy and exciting future

If you're looking for a role where you'll be challenged, developed and given a genuine opportunity to build a successful career in SaaS sales, we'd love to hear from you.
