At Beam, you get to do work that matters for the world. We’re solving the world's toughest social problems with an incredible
team, tech and AI. And we’re growing fast 🚀
It’s not easy. Nothing worth doing ever is.
Join a company at the forefront of social impact, driving first-of-its-kind positive change. You’ll be part of a high-performance
culture where you'll make a huge impact, rapidly progress your career, and truly enjoy your work.
From top-tier coaching and personal development budgets to competitive salaries, we take care of everyone who works at Beam.
We’ve already seen incredible growth from our Beam Notes product, helping frontline workers save over 8 hours of admin per week.
From social workers and NHS clinicians to mental health practitioners and safeguarding specialists, nearly 100,000 frontline
workers across the UK, US and Australia are now using Beam Notes regularly to deliver faster, more human-centred support.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We're seeking a highly driven and results-oriented Senior Account Executive to accelerate Beam's growth in the UK with our
flagship platform, Beam Notes. Working in an elite team directly with our senior commercial leadership team, this pivotal role
will be instrumental in driving our next phase of growth: securing landmark partnerships across the adult social care and
frontline services sector, deepening our impact, and directly contributing to our ambitious scaling journey.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you will be responsible for the entire sales cycle, from initial outreach to closing
deals, with the autonomy to test, refine and document the go-to-market motion as you go. You've done this before at a high-growth
startup: built pipeline from nothing, closed new logos without a mature brand or playbook behind you, and left the sales motion
better than you found it. Now you get to do it with a product frontline workers already love, with stakes that actually matter.
YOU'LL BE
- Executing our go-to-market strategy: Taking ownership of your market and driving the sales motion within it, testing,
validating and deepening product-market fit in the UK.
- Building and owning your pipeline: Independently identifying, engaging and nurturing prospects to build a robust,
probability-weighted pipeline against ambitious sales targets.
- Closing deals: Presenting the value proposition of Beam Notes, negotiating terms and closing deals with key decision-makers,
including multi-stakeholder deals with longer, more complex cycles.
- Cultivating strong relationships: Building trust with stakeholders at all levels of prospect organisations, from frontline
leads to executives.
- Building the playbook: Systematically testing, learning and documenting the strategies, messaging and processes that let us
repeat and scale success. Your insights become the foundation others sell from.
- Providing market feedback: Relaying insight from the UK market to the product and leadership teams to inform product
development and market strategy.
- Reporting and tracking progress: Maintaining accurate records in HubSpot to enable accurate forecasting and performance
analysis.
YOU'LL HAVE
- A track record of closing new logos at VC-backed startups: You've carried a quota and won net-new business in a high-growth,
early-stage environment, where you generated your own pipeline and closed without the air cover of an established brand or a
finished playbook.
- Exceptional drive and resilience: You are exceptionally results-driven, persistent in the face of challenges, and possess a
strong self-starter mentality.
- An entrepreneurial builder's mindset: You excel in ambiguity. You see a blank slate as an opportunity, and you have a knack for
creative prospecting and pipeline generation.
- Proven relationship-building skills: A natural ability to build rapport and establish trust with individuals at all levels, up
to and including senior executives.
- Top-class communication skills: Outstanding written and verbal communication, capable of articulating complex ideas clearly and
persuasively.
- A strategic mindset: You think strategically about market opportunities and develop effective approaches to engage potential
partners.
- A mission-driven ethos: You're motivated by more than commission: you want your work to have a tangible, positive impact on
society.
BONUS POINTS FOR:
- Experience working with or selling into local authorities, the NHS and care providers
- Familiarity with a structured sales methodology (e.g. MEDDPICC) as a tool for qualification and forecasting
SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
- Consistently exceeding revenue targets through high-value, long-term partnerships
- Building a strong, qualified and predictable pipeline in the UK
- Providing market insights that shape Beam's UK strategy and product development
- Creating and validating go-to-market playbook components that the wider sales team builds on
