• Run complex enterprise sales

  • Own discovery, quantified value construction, buying-group alignment, product conversations, procurement, negotiation and close.

• Help build the category

  • Feed market insight into positioning, pricing, partnerships and product priorities; use AI and agent-based workflows to improve research, preparation, follow-up and pipeline intelligence without outsourcing judgment.

Requirements

Must have

• 3 years of relevant startup experience, building executive trust and exceptional commercial ownership
• Evidence having generated 80% of your qualified enterprise pipeline independently—not only manage inbound, founder-led or inherited opportunities.
• Experience owning complex commercial processes involving senior stakeholders, multiple functions, procurement, negotiation and measurable outcomes.
• Strong financial curiosity and model literacy; existing institutional real-estate fluency is valuable, but rapid learning and honest diagnosis matter more than pretending to know everything on day one.
• Strong business English, UK work authorisation and the ability to work in London on a hybrid basis with regular client and event travel.
• High ownership, sound judgment, low ego and comfort operating in a fast-growing team where the product, category and commercial playbook continue to evolve.
• You are motivated by measurable performance, meaningful variable compensation and the opportunity to increase scope quickly.

Who is likely to thrive

• Enterprise SaaS seller: you have personally created pipeline and closed complex, non-standard opportunities—and want sophisticated customers and the chance to shape a category.
• Consultant turned commercial operator: you want to move from recommendations to ownership, work closer to technology and customers, and be measured and rewarded for creating revenue and visible outcomes.
• Institutional-market professional: you bring investment, private-equity, asset-management, fund-management, banking or capital-markets credibility plus genuine origination—and want to scale that expertise through technology.

The honest reality

This role offers more ownership—and more variability—than a mature enterprise-sales position. A meaningful share of pipeline will be self-generated, priorities will evolve and the process will not always be standardised. In return, you will have direct influence, founder and specialist access, performance upside and the chance to build commercial assets that scale beyond your own deals.

Benefits

What we offer

• Competitive base salary plus meaningful performance-based commission; accelerators and uncapped upside will be stated only if confirmed in the final plan.
• Potential equity / VSOP participation, with details shared transparently during the process.
• The opportunity to build the UK commercial engine behind a new category of enterprise AI.
• Direct access to founders, Product, Delivery and sophisticated institutional customers across Europe, with a growing US footprint.
• Progression based on revenue creation, customer impact and the systems you help build—not tenure.
• A flexible London hybrid setup, regular customer and event exposure, and a role designed to expand with the company.
