• HubSpot recently implemented therefore strong process and CRM discipline is critical
• Direct exposure to founders and senior commercial mentorship

What they are looking for

• An experienced Account Executive who is ready to sell and build with a strong software / SaaS background
• Sales-first mindset with proven ability to build and manage pipeline
• Highly structured and process-oriented (discovery, qualification, forecasting)
• Comfortable selling value, not features and linking technology to business outcomes
• Experience in earlier-stage or scaling environments
• Confident engaging with directors, founders, and owner-operators
• Based within commutable distance of Manchester (2–3 days per week)

Package

• £80–90k base salary
