You'll be comfortable operating at a strategic level, building relationships with HR Directors, Chief People Officers, Learning & Development leaders, and other senior stakeholders.

- Managing the full sales cycle from initial engagement through to negotiation, close and onboarding
- Building and maintaining a robust pipeline of qualified opportunities
- Collaborating with internal stakeholders to deliver exceptional client outcomes
- Consistently achieving and exceeding sales targets and performance objectives
About you – to be successful, you'll bring:
A proven track record of winning new business within a SaaS, solutions-based, consultancy or consultative sales environment
Experience selling into medium to large organisations with significant budgets and multiple stakeholders
Demonstrable success engaging and influencing senior decision-makers including HR Directors, Chief People Officers, Learning & Development Directors and senior leadership teams
The ability to create opportunities where none currently exist and confidently open doors at executive level
A highly self-sufficient, proactive and resilient approach
Strong commercial awareness, negotiation and relationship-building skills
Experience managing complex sales cycles and multiple stakeholder relationships
Why?
- Established, respected and growing organisation
- Newly created role with the opportunity to make a genuine impact
- Hybrid working – 4 days home-based, 1 day in the office
- Uncapped commission structure
- Significant long-term career progression opportunities
- Supportive and collaborative culture
