Help Accounting Practices Work Smarter

Are you a driven sales professional who enjoys turning opportunities into lasting customer relationships? Do you thrive on building pipelines, delivering compelling demonstrations, and uncovering new business opportunities?

We're looking for a Inbound Sales Executive to join our growing Practice Solutions team. You'll play a key role in helping accounting firms transform the way they work by introducing them to our specialist suite of solutions, including GoProposal, Futrli, and AutoEntry.

You'll also be instrumental in expanding our footprint within non-Sage practices, including firms currently using competitor platforms such as Xero.

This is a hybrid role with three days per week based in our Winnersh office.
