Beam

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 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.
