  • Partner closely with client stakeholders to co-create strategies that accelerate adoption and impact.
  • Retain and deepen newly closed accounts, building trust and demonstrating value from day one.

  • Travel weekly to our London office to collaborate with the sales team and SDR.
  • Visit prospects and customers in person across the UK and broader Europe.
  • Build real, lasting relationships through consistent face-to-face engagement.
What you bring

  • Expertise in managing complex sales cycles, gaining access to senior executives, and closing multi-stakeholder deals.
  • Demonstrated ability to self-source pipeline and consistently hit both pipe generation and quota targets.
