Senior Sales Leader– AI Consultancy and SW Development
The Role
One Beyond is looking for an experienced and commercially driven Sales Leader to help accelerate our next phase of growth.
This is a senior, hands-on sales role for someone with a strong track record of winning complex software development, digital transformation and technology consulting engagements.
You will be responsible for creating and converting new business opportunities, developing strategic client relationships. You will also play an important role in taking our growing AI consulting and Agentic AI capabilities to market.
We are looking for someone who can operate credibly at C-suite level, understand a client's business challenges and work with our technical teams to shape those challenges into compelling AI, software and consulting solutions.
This is not simply a senior sales role. You will be expected to personally originate, develop and close significant opportunities while also helping develop the capability to what our clients need.
Key Responsibilities
New Business & Revenue Growth
- Generate, develop and close new business opportunities across bespoke, AI, software development, digital transformation, and technology consulting.
- Build a strong personal pipeline through networking, referrals, strategic prospecting, partnerships and marketing-generated opportunities.
- Develop relationships with senior decision-makers and C-suite stakeholders.
- Lead complex sales opportunities from initial engagement and qualification through discovery, proposal, commercial negotiation and contract.
- Build compelling commercial propositions based on client business outcomes rather than simply technical requirements.
- Identify opportunities to grow strategic client relationships through additional projects, programmes and consulting services.
- Consistently achieve agreed revenue, new-business and pipeline targets.
Consultative Selling & Discovery
- Engage senior stakeholders to understand their strategic objectives, operational challenges and technology priorities.
- Identify where bespoke AI, software and other emerging technologies can deliver measurable business value.
- Lead early-stage discovery and consultative conversations, working closely with our pre-sales, engineering and delivery teams.
- Translate business challenges into clearly defined opportunities that our technical teams can help solve.
- Help clients build the business case for investment, including expected benefits, ROI, implementation considerations and risks.
- Develop opportunities from initial consultancy and discovery engagements into larger development projects and long-term programmes.

- Share sales techniques, market insight and best practice across the business.
- Work closely with Marketing, Pre-Sales, Engineering and Delivery to improve proposition development and conversion.
