Sales Account Executive - European Market (UK-Based Only)

About Penbrothers

Penbrothers is a global HR and remote talent management partner helping fast-growing UK and European SMEs scale seamlessly. We handle the full employment lifecycle—from recruitment and onboarding to payroll, compliance, and offshore team management—connecting Western businesses with high-performing remote talent.

About the Role

We are looking for an entrepreneurial, high-performing, and deeply consultative Sales Account Executive to lead our growth across the European market. Based in London, you will be the driving force behind expanding our footprint, helping European SMEs and enterprises navigate the complexities of global hiring and remote team scaling.

This is not a traditional, high-volume transactional sales role. We are looking for a relationship builder and strategic advisor. You are someone who blends a meticulous, hospitality-minded approach to client relations with the gritty, proactive mindset of a business founder. You understand that the sale is just the beginning; ensuring long-term client success and team alignment is where the real impact happens.

Note: This role is open strictly to candidates currently residing in and legally authorized to work full-time in the UK (London or Greater London preferred).

What you’ll do

• Drive European Expansion: Own the full sales cycle for the European market, from prospecting and high-level outreach to closing and onboarding complex global accounts. You will have full support from our Lead Gen and SDR team.
• Consultative Selling: Act as a trusted advisor to founders, C-level executives, and HR leaders, helping them design, build, and scale high-impact remote teams.
• Deploy "Hypercare" Onboarding: Collaborate closely with operational teams to ensure a flawless transition from the sales cycle to long-term client performance and retention.
• Represent the Brand: Act as the face of the company in the UK and Europe, attending industry events, networking with international ecosystems, and advocating for the future of borderless work.
• Iterate & Build: As an early champion for the region, you will actively contribute to shaping our European market strategy, identifying customer friction points, and helping optimize our sales playbooks.
• Business travel in the UK and sometimes the rest of Europe to meet high value prospects face-to-face. Also help organize networking events (e.g. dinners) with clients, Penbrothers network and prospects.

What You Bring

• The Global Mindset: You navigate cross-border business effortlessly and understand how to communicate across different global business cultures.
• The Hospitality Approach: You are empathetic, an exceptional listener, and genuinely care about solving real customer problems.
• The Entrepreneurial Spirit: You are a self-starter who treats your territory like your own business. You are comfortable with ambiguity, hands-on with operational execution, and motivated by the challenge of building from scratch.
• The Sales Professional: You have 3–6 years of experience in B2B sales, account management, or business development (experience in global remote staffing, Employer of Record (EOR), or professional services is a plus).
• Process-Driven yet Adaptable: You appreciate structured support models and frameworks, but you have the agility to navigate complex negotiations and custom client requests.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Hubspot.
• Experience working across or connecting Western markets with emerging tech hubs (e.g., Southeast Asia/The Philippines, Eastern Europe).
• Good understanding of the Philippines.
• Fluency in a second European language.

What We Offer:

• Competitive base salary + an attractive, uncapped commission structure.
• The autonomy to shape and own a massive geographic territory.
• High-growth, international environment with a clear path to leadership.
• 100% work from home / remote
