Job description

At Beam, we’re building AI that serves society.

We're a global team of ambitious, hardworking problem solvers, applying fast-moving startup energy to work that makes the world a better place. If you want to apply your talent to the biggest problems society faces, Beam is the place for you.

You’ll be part of a high-performance culture where you'll make a huge impact, rapidly progress your career, and truly enjoy your work.

Over 100,000 frontline workers already use Beam to take notes, provide live interpretation and handle phone calls, so they can focus on the people who need them most. This is just the beginning.

Account Executive – UK based (US Market)

This is an exciting opportunity to take the next step in your sales career at one of the UK's fastest growing startups, at the exact moment our business is scaling fast globally. Whether you're an ambitious BDR/SDR ready to move into a closing role, or an existing Account Executive looking for a new challenge, this is your chance to own the full sales cycle and make a real impact.

You'll work in a high-performance sales team, focused on winning new business across the US market, closing your own deals end to end for a product that frontline workers genuinely love. Every deal you close makes a real impact on people's lives - empowering frontline workers to give people the support they need, when and how they need it. Every quarter, you'll be measurably better at this job than the last.

This role requires working US business hours to align with customers and prospects across the United States.

You'll be

• Owning and closing your own deals: Running the full sales cycle end to end: prospecting, discovery, demo, proposal, negotiation and signature. This is a closing role with its own revenue target, not a hand-off role.

• Building your pipeline: Independently researching US-based prospects, initiating contact, and maintaining a high volume of quality discovery meetings to feed a pipeline you convert yourself.

• Running deep discovery: Leading discovery sessions that move beyond surface-level features to uncover real operational pain, and turning that pain into a business case.

• Engaging multi-stakeholder environments: Building trust with a diverse range of stakeholders, from frontline practitioners to service leaders, and driving them to a decision.

• Collaborating on solutions: Working hand-in-hand with our Product and Customer Success teams to design impactful trials and proposals that ensure long-term value.

• Refining the playbook: Bringing fresh insights from your daily conversations to help us sharpen our messaging and improve our outreach strategy.

• Reporting and tracking progress: Maintaining accurate records in HubSpot to enable reliable forecasting and performance analysis.

You'll have

• Commercial experience: 1-2 years in B2B sales, whether in a BDR/SDR or closing role. You may be ready to step into your first full-cycle position or already have experience owning deals and be looking for your next challenge.

• Exceptional drive and resilience: You are results-driven, persistent in the face of challenges, and possess a strong self-starter mentality.

• Natural relationship-building skills: You build trust and rapport quickly, and you listen more than you speak.

• A fast learner who loves feedback: You won’t know everything on day one and that’s fine. What matters is that you pick things up quickly, ask for input early and get visibly better every month.

• Curiosity and structure: You ask sharp questions and enjoy problem-solving. You can take a complex problem and break it down into clear, actionable steps.

• Top-class communication skills: You are clear, compelling and persuasive, whether writing a follow-up email or presenting to a room of stakeholders.

• A mission-driven mindset: You are fundamentally motivated by doing work that delivers tangible, positive real-world impact.

• Flexibility to work US hours: You are comfortable aligning your working schedule with US business hours to engage effectively with prospects and customers.

Bonus Points For:

• Experience in a fast-paced startup environment

• Experience working with or selling into local authorities, the NHS and care providers

Success looks like

• Closing your first deals within your opening months, with coaching from senior leadership on live opportunities

• Consistently hitting your revenue target through a pipeline you built and converted yourself

• Continuously sharpening your discovery, negotiation and closing skills, and taking on larger, more complex deals over time
