Key Account Sales Executive

WeVee Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa is looking for a Key Account Sales Executive with top-notch communication skills, who loves building B2B relationships with UK customers and closing sales. The ideal candidate is organised, naturally inquisitive, and wants to be part of something awesome.

About Us

We are WeVee. And together, we're electric. We're more than just a global electric car leasing platform; our goal is to dramatically increase the adoption of electric cars for everyone.

At an ever-increasing rate, people are embracing the fact that electric vehicles are the future. The sooner we help adopt them, the sooner we benefit from cleaner air in our towns and cities, save money, and become even more awesome. WeVee brings all the electric cars into one place, enabling our customers to see how an electric car would fit into their lives.

Our goal is to drive electric vehicle adoption, helping people to make the switch to fully electric mobility. Electric cars are growing in popularity – and for good reason; they are now a preference for many. By talking through the benefits, huge tax incentives, and cutting through all the technical jargon, we can help to drive adoption rates even faster.

In the UK, our EcoMute (electric car salary sacrifice) programme and other leasing services are backed by some of the biggest names in the automotive leasing industry.

Working at a Start-up

The biggest difference between a job at a start-up and a job at a more traditional, established company is the rate at which things change. Start-up life can be fun, fast-paced, and highly rewarding, with careers developing rapidly through the scale-up process. However, it isn't for everyone. Your responsibilities may change more frequently, and you may need to come up with creative solutions to new problems along the way.

About You

We are looking for someone with:

1. Understanding of the electric car market and trends
2. Familiarity with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
3. Familiarity with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions
4. Proven track record in sales, preferably in the automotive or financial services sectors
5. Ability to identify and pursue sales leads and opportunities
6. Competence in negotiating deals and closing sales

The Role

We're looking for upbeat, forward-looking, proactive key account executives to help our mid-market and enterprise customers eradicate corporate carbon emissions by increasing the number of electric cars used by their employees. The key account executive role involves:

1. Qualifying new sales leads from key (existing customer) accounts
2. Managing and developing a pipeline of sales opportunities
3. Closing sales to achieve 4-weekly sales targets
4. Working with key account managers on the same accounts
5. Developing B2B relationships to identify new sales opportunities
6. Interacting and coordinating with other team members working on the same account

Your Experience

You should have a good amount of sales, automotive, leasing, or B2B sales experience.

Benefits of Working at WeVee

We offer numerous benefits, such as:

1. Health insurance
2. Paid time off
3. Professional development opportunities
4. End-of-day shuttle service
5. Career planning assistance
