startup, ideally with a network in London and Europe, with the scrappy, autonomous wiring to match.

THE OPPORTUNITY This isn't just another enterprise sales role. This is a rare opportunity to be the architect of our next major growth engine. We are a high-growth, mission-driven Series A tech startup that has identified a significant, untapped market: large-scale government contractors. The early signals are strong, with initial deals already hitting 6-figure ACVs and a clear path to 7-figure, landmark partnerships that will lay the foundation for our international expansion. We're looking for an Enterprise Account Executive to build this vertical from the ground up. You will not be inheriting a playbook; you will be co-authoring it. You will have the autonomy to define the go-to-market strategy, test new approaches, and shape the future of what could become our most significant business unit. If you are a builder who is hungry to create a legacy and thrives on closing complex, high-impact deals, this is your defining career move. YOUR MISSION * Architect and Close Landmark Deals: You will own the full sales cycle for our most strategic accounts in this new vertical. You will command a complex, 6+ month sales process from initial outreach and strategic mapping to C-suite negotiation and signature. * Build the Go-to-Market Playbook: As the pioneer in this vertical, your insights will be the foundation of our sales motion. You will systematically test, learn, and document the strategies, messaging, and processes that will enable us to scale and repeat success. * Orchestrate Complex Stakeholder Networks: You will be the central point of contact, masterfully navigating and influencing a complex web of stakeholders, from C-level executives and procurement officers in the contracting organisations to policy leaders and operational heads within government agencies. * Execute with Precision: Employ a rigorous, MEDDPICC-informed methodology to qualify opportunities with discipline, run deep discovery to uncover critical business pains, and build unassailable business cases that tie our solution to transformative outcomes. * Co-create Visionary Solutions: Partner closely with our C-Suite, Product, and Delivery teams to design bespoke, enterprise-level solutions and pilot programs that not only win deals but also ensure our clients achieve incredible, measurable success. WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TABLE * A Track Record of Enterprise Excellence: You have a history of exceeding quota by closing complex, multi-year SaaS deals with an ACV of £100k+. You've seen 7-figure deals and have the ambition and skill to find them. * Expertise in Complex Procurement: You have direct experience selling into complex environments such as the public sector or within regulated industries (e.g., finance/health). You know how to navigate intricate procurement cycles, tenders, and framework agreements. * An Entrepreneurial Builder's Mindset: You are a self-starter who excels in ambiguity. You see a blank slate not as a challenge, but as an opportunity. You have a knack for creative prospecting and pipeline generation and are driven to build something from scratch. * C-Suite Credibility & Executive Presence: You communicate with gravitas and clarity. You are a natural at building rapport with senior executives, leading high-stakes meetings, and becoming a trusted advisor. * Strategic Discipline (MEDDPICC or similar): You view a structured sales methodology not as a framework to follow, but as a strategic tool to gain control, mitigate risk, and forecast with accuracy in complex environments. * A Deeply Held Mission-Driven Ethos: You are motivated by more than just the commission; you want your work to have a tangible, positive impact on society. SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE MEANS * Consistently exceeding your revenue targets through a portfolio of high-value, multi-year partnerships. * Building a robust, predictable pipeline that establishes our success in the vertical. * Successfully creating and validating the GTM playbook that the future sales team will be built upon. * Becoming the go-to expert and a trusted advisor for senior leaders within our target accounts. PERKS * Generous EMI-qualifying share options * Access to therapy, coaching, classes & content - powered by Oliva * Your own financial well-being coach, through Bippit * Generous Holiday - 25 days with 3 additional days over the Christmas period + bank holidays * Work remotely up to 6 weeks a year * Eligible for a 6-week sabbatical after 3 years in service * Nursery scheme through Gogeta * Healthcare cover through Benenden Health * Enhanced parental leave: Primary Caregiver leave 18 weeks and Secondary Caregiver leave 4 weeks * £200 WellBeam budget for activities enhancing wellbeing and professional development * Annual membership to Shoreditch Exchange gym (London office only) * Pension scheme where we contribute 3% of your salary and you contribute 5%. * Free subscription to the Calm meditation app * Discounted bike and accessories with Cyclescheme, and tech products with Techscheme ABOUT BEAM Our team of 200+ embraces a hybrid working approach, enjoying 2-3 days of vibrant collaboration in our beautiful Shoreditch co-working space, fully equipped with rooftop views, an onsite barista and kitted out gym.

TL;DR: This is not a classic sales role. We have a full pipeline of some of the largest companies in the world, and we're looking for the sharpest enterprise sellers to own those accounts end-to-end, not just the signature. From first conversation to multi-year partnership. WHY CONDUCT We believe the world's largest companies should move at the speed of their ideas, not the speed of the decade-old systems they run on. Today they don't. Every process change, every new product line runs into SAP systems layered with decades of custom code and complexity no human mind can fully comprehend. New requirements take months to ship, system migrations cost $100M+ and years of pain. We're building the AI operating system that absorbs this complexity and gives enterprises back their speed and ambition. Major enterprises already trust us with their most critical systems, we've closed game-changing SI partnerships, just raised a $60M Series A, and demand is outpacing what we can service. We're a small, talent-dense team doing our life's work out of London and NYC. Extreme ownership, high velocity, low-ego collaboration. What you build here shapes the company and how the world's largest companies operate. We sponsor visas and are convinced diverse teams build better products, so we especially encourage underrepresented groups in tech to reach out. WHAT YOU'LL OWN You own everything between Conduct and the customer, and the commercial outcome with it: * Run the full sales cycle: first meeting, multi-stakeholder qualification, technical deep dives, pilots, steering committees, procurement, and close. * Build pipeline too. Most of our pipeline is partnership-led today and we do less outbound than we'd like, simply because we don't yet have the capacity, so the new logos you open add straight to your number. * Stay after signature. Work with our Deployment Strategists to drive adoption, get onsite when it counts, and grow one deal into a multi-year partnership. We don't hand accounts off; you own them end-to-end and pull in deployment support where you need it. * Build the engine: the sales motions, playbooks, and tooling that let us serve more customers without scaling headcount one-for-one, and feed what you hear from customers straight back into product. WHO WE HIRE This is an entrepreneurial role: there is no finished playbook, and you'll build as much as you run. You'll fit right in if your former colleagues would, without hesitating, call you one of the sharpest operators they've ever worked with. In practice that tends to look like: * 3+ years in enterprise sales, with a real track record of closing complex, high-ACV deals * You've sold technical products and are curious enough to go deep on a hard space. No SAP or ERP background needed, but within a few weeks you can hold your own in a conversation with an enterprise IT team. * You own accounts beyond the close, growing them into bigger relationships rather than just landing logos. * Strong communication, storytelling, and executive presence. You can run a room.
