Board Intelligence is a technology and advisory firm on a mission to make boards more effective, and through them, build better businesses and benefit society.
Over twenty years we have established ourselves as the market leader in governance and board effectiveness, trusted by more than 80,000 directors, executives, and governance professionals globally, including across the Fortune 500, FTSE 100, and OMX 30. That trust has been earned through depth of insight, rigorous advisory work, and a track record that newer entrants simply cannot replicate.
We have invested in applied AI since 2020, well ahead of the market, and that early conviction has paid off. Our AI-powered platform and smart board advisor give us a competitive advantage that is widening, not narrowing. In 2024, K1 Investment Management, the leading B2B Enterprise SaaS investor, backed us to accelerate that position further. We are now growing fast, with a proven commercial model spanning both mid-market and enterprise, and a product suite that has become a necessary addition in high-stakes board environments.
The people joining us now will shape how we scale. We are deliberate about how we do that. Our founders and leadership team are deeply invested in keeping the culture that got us here: thoughtful, high calibre, and genuinely human. Ambition and balance are not in competition at Board Intelligence.
If you want to work at the intersection of AI and governance, on problems that matter at the highest level, this is a strong place to be.
Our Mission
We unleash the potential of organisations through the science of board effectiveness, building better businesses and benefitting society.
The Role
At Board Intelligence, we are on a mission to help boards and leadership teams make smarter, faster decisions. As an Account Executive in our Customer team, you will play a central role in growing our mid market corporate client base, owning the full sales cycle from prospecting through to close.
This is a hunter role at heart. You will be expected to build your own pipeline through targeted outbound activity, while also working inbound leads generated by Marketing and our SDR team. You will be selling to senior stakeholders including Company Secretaries, General Counsel, CFOs, and other board level decision makers, helping them see the value of better governance and better decisions.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone with two to four years of SaaS or tech enabled sales experience who is hungry to grow, ready to own a quota, and excited to learn from a high performing commercial team.

- Experience working inbound leads alongside self generated pipeline, with a clear approach to prioritisation and time management.
- Comfortable engaging senior stakeholders and articulating commercial value in clear, confident language.
- Strong commercial instincts, with the ability to qualify rigorously, navigate objections, and drive deals forward at pace.
- Disciplined CRM and pipeline hygiene, with accurate forecasting and a structured approach to managing opportunities.
