We are partnered with a fast-growing, venture-backed SaaS organisation operating in a high-growth technology sector.

Following significant recent investment and continued commercial expansion, the business is entering an exciting scale-up phase and expanding its London-based commercial team with the appointment of a driven and polished Account Executive (AE).

The organisation provides a software platform that helps businesses streamline and improve complex operational processes, delivering efficiency, structure and better decision-making across multiple areas of the customer’s business.

As an Account Executive, you will own the full 360 sales cycle, with a strong focus on consultative selling, structured discovery, and product demonstrations.

You will be responsible for understanding complex customer requirements, assimilating detailed information quickly, and translating this into clear, value-driven SaaS solutions that address specific pain points.

This is a high-quality, process-led sales role requiring strong commercial discipline, curiosity, and the ability to articulate value in a structured and compelling way.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing the full 360 sales cycle from prospecting through to close
  • Running structured discovery calls to uncover customer needs and pain points
  • Delivering tailored SaaS demonstrations aligned to business challenges

  • Working closely with internal teams to ensure smooth onboarding and handover

  • Experience working in a start-up or high-growth scaling environment is highly desirable
  • Proven experience managing full 360 sales cycles

  • Confidence delivering SaaS product demonstrations and solution presentations
  • A clear understanding and application of sales methodologies (e.g. MEDDICC, SPIN, Challenger, or similar)
  • Demonstrable experience building and managing a structured sales pipeline and funnel
  • Strong articulation, commercial awareness and attention to detail
  • A proactive, self-driven and highly curious mindset with strong personal discipline

Why this role stands out

  • Fast-growing, venture-backed SaaS company with genuine scale-up trajectory
  • Recently secured significant investment and expanding its commercial footprint
  • Operating in a high-growth technology sector with strong market demand
  • True 360 AE role with ownership, autonomy and progression potential
