Trainee Account Executive

Account Executive Trainee Leeds | £30,000 base + £30,000 OTE (£60k package) Overview This is not a typical entry-level sales role. This is your launchpad into one of the fastest-growing sectors in tech, with the backing, pace, and opportunity to build something meaningful. We’re working with a high-growth, private equity–backed cybersecurity group that’s scaling aggressively through acquisition and organic growth. In under a year, they’ve built a £24m business by bringing together some of the UK’s most respected cybersecurity specialists. Their sights are set firmly on £60m within the next three years. The proposition is powerful: a team capable of delivering at scale, but still agile enough to genuinely care about client outcomes. It’s a space where large incumbents stumble and smaller operators can’t compete. That’s where this business wins.
