The product

\n

\n

\n
• An AI-powered data and insights platform used by consultancies, professional services firms and tech businesses.
\n
• It captures how work actually happens across a business automatically, so nobody has to log anything by hand.
\n
• That includes the growing share of work now done with AI tools and agents, a question every firm is starting to ask about.
\n
• It turns that data into clear visibility of project profitability, resourcing and where the business can run leaner.
\n
• The buyers are finance and technology leaders who want hard numbers on margins and utilisation, not gut feel.
\n
• It’s built for employees, not over them. Insights are anonymised, and people use it to understand their own work.
\n
• It’s good for the business and good for the people doing the work, which is a rare combination to pitch.
\n

\n

The opportunity

\n

\n

\n
• You’d join a profitable, founder-led AI SaaS scale-up of around 30 people.
\n
• The sales team has already hit this year’s target, every rep hit their Q3 number, and the Q4 pipeline is strong.
\n
• The business is moving upmarket, with its biggest-ever deals now landing.
\n
• This isn’t another rep seat working inbound and sitting in deal reviews.
\n
• You’d sit at the table with the CEO and the Director of Sales and help shape where the business goes next.
\n
• Think founding-AE energy: leading from the front in a small team, without needing to manage people.
\n
• In return, you’d get the biggest leads in the business and real freedom in how you run them.
\n
• The role is fully remote, with no micro-management, while much of the market is heading back to the office.
\n
• The MRR target is described as “very fair”, and the earning ceiling is high. Big one-off deals mean strong commission swings.
\n

\n

\n

What you’d actually be doing

\n

\n

\n
• Running full-cycle new business sales, from first demo to signature.
\n
• Closing deals from $5k to $500k+ ARR, with six- and seven-figure opportunities in the pipeline.
\n
• Owning the largest strategic deals in the business.
\n
• Selling to CFOs, CTOs, COOs and Ops leaders at consultancies, professional services firms and SaaS companies.
\n
• Building business cases around margin, utilisation and profitability.
\n
• Running your own POCs and technical conversations on APIs, integrations and data flow.
\n
• Working mostly inbound leads, plus self-generated outbound and some expansion. The bulk of the role is new logo hunting.
\n
• Challenging the status quo: where should outbound come in, what is the best rep doing, and what would take the team to the next level.
\n
• Feeding what customers say back into the product team.
\n
• Working to an MRR target rather than a rigid, unforgiving quota.
\n

\n

\n

What you’ll need to bring

\n

\n

\n
• Minimum of 3 years in a closing SaaS new business role, ideally closer to 5-7 years
\n
• A track record of closing new business SaaS deals of $50k–$100k+, and at least one large, complex deal you can walk through in detail.
\n
• Experience selling into consultancies, professional services or SaaS companies. Similar-sector experience matters more than big-brand logos.
\n
• Experience selling to finance and technology buyers, and comfort talking about gross margins and business outcomes.
\n
• A builder’s background: founding AE, an early hire, or one of a small team of 5–6.
\n
• Real curiosity about AI, and a good example of how you use it in your own sales process.
\n
• A consultative, structured sales style. MEDDIC, MEDDPICC or similar will serve you well.
\n
• Experience closing both inbound and outbound deals.
\n
• A self-starter who doesn’t need managing and brings ideas rather than waiting for direction.
\n
• Someone who welcomes direct feedback and gives it back.
\n
• Real enthusiasm for working at a small scale-up, not just tolerance of it.
\n
• Stability in your career history, with 2+ years in most previous roles.
\n
• A solid history of hitting new business SaaS quotas.
\n
• Based on the East Coast of the US
\n
• Comfortable working remotely, whether that’s already your set-up or a change you’re keen to make.
