You'll source a meaningful portion of your own pipeline through outbound prospecting and sell to B2B tech companies ranging from under-500 employees to large enterprises. The role involves running product demos, handling technical questions with support from the Solutions Engineering team, and navigating EMEA-specific considerations including data residency, GDPR compliance, and regional procurement cycles. You'll be instrumental in shaping the early go-to-market motion in EMEA, contributing to positioning, messaging, and sales playbooks.

Required experience includes 2+ years of full-cycle SaaS sales, comfort with deals ranging from $10k to $100k+ ARR, and proven ability to prospect outbound. You should be able to sell differentiated, technical products to sophisticated buyers. The role requires London-based location with five days per week in-office presence. Ideal candidates have founding or early-stage regional sales experience, background selling into competitive incumbent-heavy markets, experience with support/success/post-sales teams, or familiarity with AI-driven products.
