Account Executive
London | Hybrid 🏙️
Base: £40,000–£60,000 + uncapped/OTE-based earnings 💵
One of our clients; a fast-growing, tech-for-good SaaS scaleup operating in the carbonisation space is hiring an Account Executive to join its commercial team in London. 💚
This business is building software for a complex, operationally critical market and is already seeing strong traction. The product helps customers manage a highly manual workflow end-to-end, saving time, improving efficiency, and helping them win more business.
The Role
This is a high-volume, commercially focused AE role in a growing team. You’ll work across a largely inbound motion today, while also helping re-engage older pipeline and support a more proactive outbound approach over time.
You’ll be speaking with customers who rely on the product for a critical part of their day-to-day operations, so this role suits someone who can build trust quickly, understand operational pain points, and sell in a consultative way.
