UK Sales Leader (SaaS HR TECH/Background Screening)
Location: Hybrid – a mix of home based and London office
Salary: Up to £100k basic salary + Commission, Car Allowance + uncapped Commission
Are you an ambitious, high-achieving enterprise growth professional eager to launch an international brand into a major new territory? Do you thrive in an autonomous, entrepreneurial setting where your strategic decisions directly shape commercial success?
We are seeking a dynamic, sales professional to serve as the first hire in the UK for a global leader. You will have proven success in business-to-business corporate sales, with specific domain expertise in HR tech, background screening/vetting or compliance software.
In this role, you will enjoy the best of both worlds: the agility, speed, and influence of a startup, backed by the stability and resources of an established global leader in regulatory technology. Operating from London, you will take full ownership of introducing premier risk mitigation and background screening platforms to corporate HR and risk management executives across the region.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is not a sales team leadership role.

- Cross-Border Collaboration: Work closely with international product, legal, and leadership teams to ensure seamless cross-functional delivery.
Candidate Profile
- Background: Proven success in business-to-business corporate sales, with specific domain expertise in HR tech, background screening/vetting or compliance software
- Pipeline Ownership: A demonstrable history of generating high-value pipeline through sophisticated outbound prospecting, cold networking, and self-directed lead generation.
- Regulatory Acumen: A practical working knowledge of data governance frameworks, including GDPR and UK Data Protection laws.
- Systems & Workflow: Comfort utilizing modern data systems such as Salesforce to track, forecast, and manage pipeline velocity.
