We're working with an established software business that's investing in the growth of its sales team. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially driven Sales Executive who enjoys winning new business, building relationships and helping customers find the right solutions, while benefiting from genuine career progression, ongoing development and market-leading employee benefits.

You'll be joining a collaborative, supportive team where success is recognised, training is continuous and you'll have the opportunity to develop your sales career within a highly respected global business.

• Earning potential: Competitive basic salary and an excellent uncapped commission structure, with no threshold.

• Rewarding sales environment: Work alongside an experienced, collaborative team where performance is recognised and rewarded.
• Benefits: A comprehensive package focused on employee wellbeing, learning and long-term development.

What you'll be doing

You'll take ownership of the sales process, identifying new opportunities, engaging prospective customers and developing relationships that generate long-term value.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Proactively identifying and approaching prospective customers to generate new business opportunities.
• Following up on inbound enquiries and managing prospects through a consultative sales process.
• Delivering engaging software demonstrations, showing customers how the solutions can improve their business operations.
• Building relationships with key decision-makers, understanding their challenges and presenting relevant solutions.
• Developing existing customer accounts, identifying opportunities to introduce additional products and services.
• Managing your sales pipeline, negotiating agreements and working towards revenue targets.
• Keeping up to date with industry developments and customer needs to identify new commercial opportunities.

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone who enjoys the challenge of sales, is confident starting conversations and understands how to turn relationships into commercial results.

You'll ideally bring:

• At least two years' successful experience in business development or a similar target-driven sales role.
• A proven track record of generating new business, managing a pipeline and delivering revenue growth.
• A consultative approach, with the ability to understand customer needs and communicate value.
• Confidence presenting to and influencing business owners and senior decision-makers.
• Strong communication, relationship-building and negotiation skills.
• A proactive, self-motivated approach with the ability to manage your own workload and targets.
• Experience in software, SaaS or financial services sales would be advantageous, although we're open to other industries.
• Knowledge of the accountancy sector would be beneficial but isn't essential.

You don't need to have sold software before. What's more important is your ability to build trust, understand a customer's business and demonstrate how a product or service can make a difference.
