We are looking to hire an Emerging Account Executive to join our UK&I team. As an Emerging AE you will be responsible for finding and closing new business deals across the UK&I via your own efforts and supported by our marketing, partnerships and Sales Development teams.
You will be engaging with economic buyers within merchant accounts to identify and secure a role for GoCardless as a payment provider. You will liaise with a multitude of stakeholders and departments; from finance and engineering to marketing and procurement. By successfully multi-threading you will build business cases and ultimately secure commercial arrangements.
We’ve built a dynamic, collaborative culture in which we hire and develop smart, driven people that share our desire to do work we can be proud of.
What excites you
- You’ll love taking a data driven approach to pitching GoCardless as a payment provider to Emerging ($1-$30m) accounts.
- Closing multi-territory, multi-year deals with fast growing companies
- Identifying high-fit accounts within your territory/ book of business
- Developing account plans, working with stakeholders in marketing to deliver those plans and building your network within those accounts
- Selling the value of our global payments platform and then developing opportunities through negotiation to contract closure
What excites us
- Proven sales experience in a B2B SaaS environment with a track record of achieving quota (total quota for this role is £500k per annum)
- Previous sales experience in the Payments industry
- Experience of working with some of our key verticals such as Utilities, Telco, Banking or Insurance
- Experience selling to CxO (CFO/ CTO ideally) and other stakeholders
- Candidates with an understanding of the MEDDPICC Sales methodologies (or similar) and experience in applying them
- A structured sales approach, experience of using salesforce and prior experience of selling complex SaaS products and services (Selling APIs is not essential but a nice to have)
- High activity: you are able to cover a large territory effectively and build a dynamic pipeline
We don’t expect you to meet every requirement. If you’re excited by this role, we encourage you to apply.
Base salary range: £35,200 - £52,800 + OTE (100% of base)
Base salary ranges are based on role, job level, location, and market data. Please note that whilst we strive to offer competitive compensation, our approach is to pay between the minimum and the mid-point of the pay range until performance can be assessed in role. Offers will take into account level of experience, interview assessment, budgets and parity between you and fellow employees at GoCardless doing similar work.
