Account Executive
Account Executive | Private Credit SaaS | London
Are you a hunter who thrives on building from the ground up?
We're looking for a driven Account Executive to join a fast-growing SaaS platform that's transforming how alternative investors manage their portfolio data, risk, and performance.
The Opportunity
This isn't about working pre-qualified leads. This is about rolling up your sleeves, building your own pipeline, and closing meaningful deals in the private credit and alternative investment space. You'll have the autonomy to own your process from prospecting through to close, with the backing of a team that genuinely values what sales brings to the table.
What you'll be doing:
- Building and owning your pipeline in private equity, direct lending, infrastructure, and impact investing markets
- Conducting outbound outreach and leading sales conversations with sophisticated investors
- Understanding complex portfolio challenges and positioning solutions that genuinely solve them
- Collaborating with product and engineering to ensure what you sell can be delivered brilliantly
What We're Looking For
You have a strong track record with at least 3-5 years of sales experience in financial services, fintech, or asset management, ideally working with similar clients and use cases.
You've got the mindset: Hungry, optimistic, and resilient. You're comfortable with ambiguity and excited by ownership rather than structure.
You've got the instincts: You know how to simplify complex offerings, navigate both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and keep pushing when others might give up.
You're a self-starter who's also a team player: You can build your own book and execute independently, but you value working cross-functionally to get better outcomes.
What's On Offer
- Base salary £80,000 + uncapped commission
- Hybrid working in London
- Genuine opportunity to shape the commercial engine at a pivotal moment
- Career growth as the business scales into new verticals and regions
- A leadership team that's genuinely invested in sales as a core competency
Nice to Have
Experience with alternatives, private markets, credit funds, or data platforms. Existing relationships in target markets are a bonus, but not essential if you have the drive to build them.
This is the Next Stage of Growth. The market fit is proven. The product works. Now it's about scale. If you're ready to be part of something meaningful at the intersection of data, software, and investment, let's talk.
