  • Articulate our solutions clearly & translate technical capabilities into commercial outcomes and ROI.
  • Collaborate with consultants to craft compelling proposals, POVs, and presentations; coordinate scoping workshops and solution demos.
  • Forecast accurately and maintain CRM hygiene; report on pipeline, velocity, and win rates.
  • Hit and exceed targets on meetings, qualified opportunities, and closed-won revenue.
  • Hand over seamlessly to delivery/account teams post-sign to ensure client success and expansion.

Key Metrics

  • Qualified meetings set & held per month
  • New qualified opportunities created and advanced
  • Pipeline coverage (3–4× of target) and forecast accuracy
  • New logo revenue (monthly/quarterly) and win rate

Who You Are

  • Proven hunter: consistent success winning net-new business in technology or professional services (AI/data, digital, cloud, or consulting preferred).
  • Prospecting specialist: confident cold caller with multi-channel outbound discipline and high activity standards.
  • Commercial storyteller: excellent communication, questioning, and negotiation skills; comfortable with senior stakeholders.
  • Self-motivated & resilient: thrives in a fast-paced, target-driven, entrepreneurial environment.
  • AI-curious: strong interest in artificial intelligence and its applications to real business problems.
  • Process-savvy: fluent with modern sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDIC, Challenger, SPICED) and CRM (Salesforce/HubSpot).

What We Offer

  • Competitive base salary + uncapped commission (OTE aligned to high performance).
  • Access to leading AI experts and cutting-edge client work.
  • Fast-paced, entrepreneurial culture with a clear path for career growth.
  • Central London office with hybrid flexibility.

Desired experience

  • Existing network across UK/EMEA mid-market and enterprise.
  • Experience selling complex, consultative projects (£50k–£500k+).
  • Familiarity with data/ML platforms, GenAI, MLOps, or analytics transformations
