The Company
Octopus Legacy is one of the UK's fastest growing startups, helping over 1 million people plan for and navigate through death -
but we're just getting started. After our founder Sam lost his mum suddenly, we built what the market had never seen: a service
that combines estate planning and bereavement support with something genuinely human. Voice notes. Music. Recipes. A legacy that
actually means something.
We're not competing in this space. We're redefining it. Backed by Octopus Group, we're the best positioned business in the market
to scale across UK financial services, and we're moving fast. This role is how we get there.
The Role
This is a senior, high-impact enterprise sales role. You'll own the full cycle from pipeline to close, building and converting
strategic partnerships with insurers, banks, adviser networks and financial institutions across the UK.You'll report into the CEO
on key deals, and have real influence over how we expand our market share. If you're a high-performing sales professional looking
for a genuine opportunity to build something, rather than maintain a territory someone else built, this is it.
You'll be selling with the Octopus Group name behind you. One of the UK's most recognised and trusted brands, with over 7 million
customers and a reputation that opens doors before you've said a word. We have the product, the backing and the market timing. We
need the person who can go and close it. Octopus already has deep relationships with thousands of financial partners across the
UK. This role gets to leverage that network to scale our proposition across UK financial services - and beyond.
What You'll Do

an inclusive environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
