  • Trust-Based Vacation: Take as much time off as you need, when you need it.

  • Remote-First: 52% of Adthenian’s work fully remote, with others choosing Hybrid Work at our 3 Geohubs (London, Austin, Sydney).

  • Flexible Work: Work how and where you do your best, with full autonomy over your day.

  • Career Growth: Bespoke training and career development via "Sherpa plans” to guide your growth.

  • Monthly Hackdays & Training Days

Reporting to: Josh Pickering, VP of Sales

Interviews: 3 Stages

The Role
  • Full-cycle new business. $1M ARR quota, 30% win rate.

  • Discovery to signature. No pre-sales handoff.

  • You own your pipeline. 40% comes from your own PG; marketing and partners bring the rest.

  • You won't write cold emails. AI researches and writes outbound; you QC it and pick up the phone.

What We Look For

Intelligence
  • You turn a prospect's numbers into a business case they can take to their CFO

  • You find the real problem behind the one they tell you

  • You learn a new market fast. Paid search and ChatGPT Ads won't faze you

Character
  • You pick up the phone without being told. Making dials doesn't scare you

  • You own your number. No excuses about lead flow

  • You'd rather hear no today than maybe next quarter

Coachability
  • You ask for feedback on your calls, then act on it

  • You run a structured method (Sandler preferred) and stick to it under pressure

  • You test new tools before deciding they don't work

Who we look for

Research shows men apply if they meet ~60% of the criteria, while women and underrepresented groups apply only if they meet all requirements. If you have the skills but don't meet every requirement, reach out – we'd love to explore how you could be a great fit!

Experience
  • 3+ years closing new logos as an AE, preferably in MarTech, AdTech or paid search, and you still want to carry a bag

  • Sold into complex organisations: layers of hierarchy, buying committees, 60–120 day cycles, across enterprise and mid-market

  • 100%+ of quota in at least 2 of the last 3 years.

  • Sandler training strongly preferred

Our Core Values

All Adthenians are expected to align closely with our ‘Core Values’.

What it means...

  • Get Shit Done: We're big on taking action, owning our challenges, and finding solutions.

  • Freedom with Responsibility: We take charge of results to recognition. We know that our hustle not only moves the needle for the company but also sets us up for personal success.

  • Deliver Remarkable Quality: We care about exceeding expectations in the work we do and aim to always do our best work as individuals and as a team.

  • Smart & Always Improving: We strive daily to expand our knowledge and become better at what we do.
