Hybrid – London / Remote
Established SaaS. Proven product. New growth phase.
Certus Recruitment is working with an established financial SaaS business entering an exciting new phase of growth.
With 20 years of experience, a proven cloud-based platform and an established customer base, the business is now investing heavily in its next stage of expansion — bringing the energy and ambition of a scale-up to an already successful software company.
We’re looking for a true new-business salesperson who enjoys creating opportunities, opening doors and closing deals.
This is a hunter role. You’ll own the sales cycle from prospecting through to close, selling a business-critical financial platform into the mid-market and engaging directly with CFOs, Finance Directors and C-suite decision-makers.
The Role
You’ll be responsible for:
- Winning new mid-market customers and building your own pipeline
- Combining inbound opportunities with proactive outbound prospecting
- Selling a proven financial SaaS platform to senior decision-makers
- Managing 3–6 month, multi-stakeholder sales cycles
- Building compelling commercial cases for CFOs and C-suite buyers
- Running demos and consultative sales conversations
- Managing the sales process from first conversation through to close
- Working with technical teams through onboarding and go-live
- Helping shape the customer acquisition strategy as the business scales
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
