• Sell solutions into complex, multi-stakeholder environments.
• Develop strong relationships with senior legal and operational stakeholders, acting as a trusted advisor.
• Collaborate with pre-sales, implementation, and customer success teams to ensure smooth onboarding and long-term customer value.
• Maintain accurate forecasting and CRM hygiene, consistently delivering against revenue targets.
• Represent us at industry events, conferences, and client meetings where appropriate.

Required Experience & Skills

• Proven track record as a Senior Account Executive selling enterprise SaaS solutions.
• Strong experience selling into corporate legal / in-house legal teams (legal tech highly preferred).
• Demonstrated success managing long, consultative sales cycles with deal sizes typically £50k+ ARR.
• Comfortable engaging and influencing senior decision-makers (GCs, Legal Ops, CIOs, Procurement).
• Strong commercial acumen with excellent negotiation and closing skills.
• Experience working in a target-driven, high-performance sales environment.
• Familiarity with legal technologies is a plus.

What Success Looks Like
