Job description

Wagestream is on a mission to bring better financial wellbeing to frontline workers.

At Wagestream, we’re on a mission to bring financial freedom to frontline workers—empowering them with fairer, more flexible financial services. We partner with some of the world’s most recognised employers—Bupa, Burger King, Greene King, and the mighty NHS—giving over 3 million employees control over their earnings, budgeting tools, savings options, and even free financial coaching. All in one financial wellbeing super-app.

Wagestream is unique: VC-backed and growing at scale-up pace, but with a social conscience. Some of the world's leading financial charities and impact funds were our founding investors, and we operate on a social charter - which means every product we build has to improve financial health and reduce the $5.6bn ‘premium’ lower-income earners pay for financial services each year.

You’d be joining a team of over 200 passionate, ambitious people, across Europe and the USA, building a category-leading fintech product and all united by that same mission.

The Opportunity:

We’re growing fast, and the sales team is at the heart of that growth. This is your chance to join the world’s only charity-backed fintech, evolving into a full-fledged neobank. As a commercial leader, you’ll drive strategic sales efforts, helping more frontline workers access financial stability while shaping the future of how people get paid.

What will you be doing?

1. Lead and motivate a high-performing sales team, driving client acquisition and expanding market share.
2. Set and execute sales strategy, ensuring alignment with Wagestream’s mission and business goals.
3. Monitor performance, provide insights, and refine approaches based on market trends.
4. Implement effective tracking/reporting for sales effectiveness and partner reporting.

What you need: (But if you’re close… we'd still love to talk to you!)

1. SaaS Enterprise Sales Expertise – Proven success in B2B SaaS sales & solution selling.
2. Experience with Longer Sales Cycles – Comfortable navigating 6+ month deal cycles.
3. Leadership & Team Building – Strong background in developing, mentoring, and scaling sales teams.
4. Strategic Thinking & Board-Level Influence – Ability to shape sales strategy and engage senior decision-makers.
5. Strong Network – Established FTSE 350 contacts and relationships.
6. Results-Driven – Demonstrated ability to overcome sales hurdles and exceed targets.

Can-be-learnt:

• We'll teach you all about our financial wellbeing products and services.
• Internal lingo and tech stacks - they all differ by company and we don't need you to have used ours - just be ready to learn!

Working Policy: Three office days per week.

Benefits:

• 25 Days Annual Leave in addition to public holidays (up to 5 day rollover), as well as flexible time off allowances for any ad-hoc childcare/family/caring needs.
• 10 days Annual Leave Buy-Back scheme.
• 24 weeks' paid Maternity Leave and 4 weeks paid Paternity Leave for employees with over 12 months service.
• Special Leave for In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and other fertility treatments.
• Sabbatical scheme.
• Paid leave to volunteer.
• Work from Abroad policy.
• Private Healthcare including comprehensive mental-, physical- and dental healthcare.
• Salary sacrifice to pension, as well as bonus exchange to Pension: reap even more rewards of any bonus by paying into your pension & save on Tax and NI + added compound growth.
• Season Ticket Loan.
• The best benefit of all, access to Wagestream!
• Access to Salary Sacrifice Schemes via ThanksBen: THE Benefits marketplace. Choose the benefits you want, when you want. Pay less tax, receive more value.

Additional:

• Additional Pension Payments.
• Workplace nurseries.
• Cycle to Work.
• Home and Tech Scheme.
