Job Description:

SENIOR ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE

Private markets love this ESG platform. That’s why it keeps beating the competition.

We are working with a European ESG software firm expanding to the UK, seeking someone to bring that momentum to the UK market.

This isn’t just another ESG software firm.

Their product wins tenders because it addresses the key problems funds care about:

• Regulatory headaches? Covered.
• Investor pressure? Managed.

They’ve achieved product-market fit. Clients in Europe are signing, competitors are losing, and now it’s time to expand to the UK.

They’re hiring their first UK Senior Account Executive, which means:

• You’ll have real autonomy
• You’ll help shape the go-to-market strategy
• You won’t fight over inbound leads
• You’ll work directly with the founders
• And yes, you’ll get equity!

You’ll be selling into private equity, VC, and fund managers, so experience in private markets is essential.

The basics:

• Up to £90K base salary
• Double OTE (realistic and uncapped)
• Share options
• Ideally London-based, but open to remote UK hire, with travel when necessary

This role offers a unique opportunity where timing, market demand, and product strength align.
