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 This is the step up you've been working towards: your first full 360 sales role, joining Beam's US team while it's still small enough that your wins shape the story. If you've been generating pipeline for someone else to close, or supporting accounts without owning the number, this is your chance to run the whole cycle yourself. Beam Notes has already proven itself with over 100,000 frontline workers, and now the race is on to scale in the US. You'll work in a high-performance sales team, closing your own deals end to end for a product that frontline workers genuinely love. Every deal you close makes a real impact on people's lives - empowering frontline workers to give people the support they need, when and how they need it. Every quarter, you'll be measurably better at this job than the last. YOU'LL BE * Owning and closing your own deals: Running the full sales cycle end to end: prospecting, discovery, demo, proposal, negotiation and signature. This is a closing role with its own revenue target, not a hand-off role. * Building your pipeline: Independently researching prospects, initiating contact, and maintaining a high volume of quality discovery meetings to feed a pipeline you convert yourself. * Running deep discovery: Leading discovery sessions that move beyond surface-level features to uncover real operational pain, and turning that pain into a business case. * Engaging multi-stakeholder environments: Building trust with a diverse range of stakeholders, from frontline practitioners to service leaders, and driving them to a decision. * Collaborating on solutions: Working hand-in-hand with our Product and Customer Success teams to design impactful trials and proposals that ensure long-term value. * Refining the playbook: Bringing fresh insights from your daily conversations to help us sharpen our messaging and improve our outreach strategy. * Reporting and tracking progress: Maintaining accurate records in HubSpot to enable reliable forecasting and performance analysis. YOU'LL HAVE * Commercial experience: 1-2 years in B2B sales/in a BDR role, you may be stepping up from a BDR/SDR or junior closing role, and you're ready to carry your own number (bonus if you've worked in SaaS). * Exceptional drive and resilience: You are results-driven, persistent in the face of challenges, and possess a strong self-starter mentality. * Natural relationship-building skills: You build trust and rapport quickly, and you listen more than you speak. * A fast learner who loves feedback: You won’t know everything on day one and that’s fine. What matters is that you pick things up quickly, ask for input early and get visibly better every month. * Curiosity and structure: You ask sharp questions and enjoy problem solving. You can take a complex problem and break it down into clear, actionable steps. * Top-class communication skills: You are clear, compelling and persuasive, whether writing a follow-up email or presenting to a room of stakeholders. * A mission-driven mindset: You are fundamentally motivated by doing work that delivers tangible, positive real-world impact. BONUS POINTS FOR: * Experience in a fast-paced startup environment * Experience working with or selling into the SLED or Healthcare space SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE: * Closing your first deals within your opening months, with coaching from senior leadership on live opportunities * Consistently hitting your revenue target through a pipeline you built and converted yourself * Converting prospects into long-term partners set up for transformative success * Continuously sharpening your discovery, negotiation and closing skills, and taking on larger, more complex deals over time APPLICATION PROCESS We have a four-stage interview process, giving you plenty of time to learn about Beam while we get to know you. 1.

ABOUT THE ROLE We're seeking a highly driven and results-oriented Senior Account Executive to power Beam's expansion in the US with our flagship platform, Beam Notes. Working in an elite team directly with some of the most senior salespeople at Beam, this pivotal role will be instrumental in driving our growth in the US: securing landmark partnerships, establishing our impact, and directly contributing to our ambitious scaling journey. You will be at the forefront of bringing Beam Notes to key sectors, selling into state and local government and not-for-profits initially, and opening new verticals as time goes on. Beam Notes is an AI-powered tool, already used and loved by over 100,000 frontline workers, designed to dramatically reduce the administrative burden on the people delivering care. 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 real 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. 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 US. * 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 organizations, 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 US 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. NICE TO HAVE * Experience working with or selling into the SLED or Healthcare space. * 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 US * Providing market insights that shape Beam's US strategy and product development * Creating and validating go-to-market playbook components that the wider sales team builds on APPLICATION PROCESS We have a four-stage interview process, giving you plenty of time to learn about Beam while we get to know you. 1.
