We are working exclusively with our client to find an Account Executive.

About:

Our client is a fast-growing fintech platform helping employers improve employee engagement, retention, and take-home pay while reducing payroll and benefits costs.

The solution delivers clear, measurable ROI through tax efficiencies, National Insurance savings, and improved workforce engagement.

• Predominantly outbound GTM motion, with strong early traction from founder-led sales and referrals.
• High-urgency, execution-led environment suited to AEs who thrive in fast-moving, imperfect setups and want meaningful impact.

The Role:

• Own and execute the full sales cycle end-to-end, carrying personal responsibility for new ARR and deal progression.
• Source and close new employer customers through a predominantly outbound motion, working closely with SDR support.
• Run high-quality discovery and needs-analysis conversations across People, Finance, and Operations stakeholders, using MEDDPICC as the core sales framework.
• Qualify opportunities rigorously against MEDDPICC criteria, ensuring clear metrics, economic buyers, decision processes, and confirmed pain.
• Articulate clear commercial value around employee engagement, retention, and payroll cost optimisation.
• Structure and present proposals aligned to per-employee subscription pricing and long-term account value.
• Manage multiple opportunities concurrently, forecasting accurately and inspecting pipeline with discipline.
• Collaborate closely with marketing and leadership to refine messaging, ICP definition, and outbound prioritisation.
• Maintain strong CRM hygiene, deal documentation, and reporting to support predictable forecasting.
