A well-established UK data and intelligence platform — trusted by hundreds of organisations including central government, leading universities and major financial institutions — is looking for a Senior AE to drive growth across the public sector.
The company has spent over a decade building proprietary technology and a specialist in-house team to solve a data problem that affects every organisation trying to understand, engage with or measure the impact of growth businesses. With a strong UK presence and an active international expansion underway, this is a business with real momentum and a proven commercial track record.
The Role:

You'll have a proven MEDDIC-led methodology and a fully developed tech stack to support you, and real input into how the public sector playbook evolves.

- Managing strategic sales cycles: Running deals from a few months to a year+, closing £50k+ p/a contracts
- Tender response: Identifying, entering and winning mid-market public sector tenders
- Running highly tailored demos for each organisation's specific use cases
- Contributing to territory prioritisation, pricing and public sector go-to-market strategy
What they're looking for:
- 3+ years selling into large public sector organisations — ideally central government and universities
- Consistent track record closing £50k+ p/a deals in complex, consultative environments
- Proven history of entering and winning tenders, particularly for data-related products
- Strong outbound pedigree alongside tender work — events, networking, cold outreach
- Smart and consultative — credible with senior public sector decision-makers, resilient across long cycles
What's on offer:
- Equity stake in the business
- Health cash plan, free therapy sessions, professional development budget
- Strong team culture — Friday drinks, company away days, subsidised clubs
- Season ticket loans, cycle to work, free railcards
