Strategic account executive (UK)

📐 About this role

We’re looking for a collaborative and builder-oriented enterprise sales rep experienced at helping prospective customers at large companies navigate the evaluation, business case development, and procurement of transformative technology.

Your objective will be to help convert enterprise prospects (8k+ FTE, although tilted towards Fortune 1000) who are active in our trials or who request a sales demo from our website or within our product. While most of your pipeline will come inbound, you'll also be responsible for generating pipeline from ideal customer profile (ICP) accounts within your account set.

Your positivity, sense of curiosity, and ability to create champions from early adopters in the AI space will help shape our entire culture.

You'll be reporting to our RVP.

🦸🏻‍♀️ Your responsibilities

• Develop and maintain a deep understanding of the fast-moving generative AI space 

• Become an expert in the wide range of use cases in which generative AI can drive business transformation for Fortune 100 and Global 2000 enterprises across different industries, and help customers contextualize the pros and cons of our full-stack approach

• Qualify inbound leads and guide them through the evaluation process

• Generate pipeline from ICP accounts via value-driven outbounding

• Demo to stakeholders and help prospects articulate and quantify the business case for investment

• Guide prospects through POCs and pilots with clear criteria for success; pull in key stakeholders early and help the team reach Buy consensus

• Lead champions through their internal budgeting, legal, security, and procurement processes (this is an evangelical sale where there is rarely an existing line item for the solution)

• Collaborate with your colleagues to share what is working, what is not, and refine WRITER’s approach to serving strategic customers

⭐️ Is this you?

• 8+ years in a B2B SaaS closing role focused on Fortune 100 and Global 2000 (15k+ employees); extra points for experience selling to CIO or AI/innovation leaders at Fortune 500 companies.

• Enjoy building in a scrappy, super-fast-moving (no, really, we’re not kidding) environment

• Demonstrable, consistent performance, meeting and exceeding quota

• Experience helping prospects build a business case to secure executive sponsorship

• Experience with value-based selling (but still know the product almost as well as SEs 🤓)

• Experience working with legal, security, and/or procurement teams to win deals

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Strong sales process: you are thoughtful about how to make sales repeatable for yourself

🍩 Benefits & perks (UK full-time employees):
