Description

I'm partnering with a high-growth technology business operating at the intersection of AI, software and regulatory compliance. They're combining specialist regulatory expertise with AI-powered software to help innovative technology companies navigate complex certification requirements more efficiently.


They're now looking for a hands-on Sales Lead to manage and grow an Account Executive team while continuing to close enterprise deals personally.


The Opportunity



  • Lead, coach and develop a growing team of Account Executives, taking ownership of the team's quarterly revenue target.

  • Maintain a personal sales quota, remaining hands-on throughout the full sales cycle.

  • Drive pipeline management, forecasting, deal reviews and sales execution.

  • Recruit and onboard new sales talent as the commercial team scales.

  • Work closely with senior leadership, BDRs and commercial partners to improve conversion, qualification and sales processes.

  • Sell a technical, expertise-led solution to specialist buyers across regulated industries in the UK and Europe.


What They're Looking For



  • 5+ years' B2B sales experience, including at least 3 years as a quota-carrying Account Executive managing full-cycle deals.

  • At least 1 year of formally leading or managing quota-carrying salespeople, with responsibility for team targets.

  • A strong record of achieving or exceeding individual quota.

  • Experience recruiting, interviewing and onboarding salespeople.

  • Experience selling technical or compliance-led products into specialist buyers, with complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles of 3+ months.

  • Strong pipeline management, forecasting and deal-coaching capabilities.
  • Evidence of improving sales performance, including coaching underperforming reps.

  • RegTech, GRC, compliance automation, risk management or cybersecurity SaaS.

  • Selling into regulated industries or technical, specialist buying groups.

  • Experience in an early-stage or scaling business, building sales processes rather than inheriting an established playbook.

  • Exposure to European markets outside the UK.

  • A STEM degree or equivalent technical background.


The Package



  • £100,000-£120,000 base salary, with a double OTE

  • Equity package.

  • Hybrid working in the London office - 3 days a week.
