Senior Account Executive - EMEA

About the role

The Senior Account Executive will win new business across the UK and Europe, focusing on fast-growing tech and AI scale-ups alongside larger enterprise mobility deals. You’ll build most of your own pipeline and own the full sales cycle, with a target of 1–2 new pilots per month once ramped, converting successful pilots into full rollouts. A successful candidate is a consistently high-performing, autonomous seller with a track record of generating pipeline and closing complex deals, who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to help shape the future of go-to-market at PerchPeek!

Role Responsibilities

Whilst every role in a startup has a degree of flexibility over time, here is what we see as the role’s main responsibilities:

• Land new logos through pilots - Take fast-growing European scale-ups & enterprises from first conversation to a signed pilot, then convert that pilot into a full rollout.
• Target clients - Fast-growing tech and AI scale-ups in the UK and Europe (roughly 500 to 5,000 employees). We already work with many of Europe’s fastest growing organisations and are targeting the rest. Once ramped, expect to land 1 to 2 new pilots per month.
• Enterprise Mobility deals – About a quarter of the role is larger, mobility-led enterprise deals that come from industry events, often through RFPs and longer sales processes.
• Build your own pipeline - You'll generate most of your pipeline through network, referrals, founders and VCs, trigger-based outbound and events.
• Playbook input - We're still relatively early in our GTM journey and we'll be counting on you to shape how we win here and pave the way for future AEs.
• Build the PerchPeek Network – Develop and grow relationships with others in the Mobility industry; be a PerchPeek evangelist and represent PerchPeek at events (online/offline, owned and externally organized).

About You

The type of person we think will be awesome in this role will likely have a track record of the below skills and experience:

• A track record of being a consistently top performing AE - ranked in top 1 or 2 of their team
• Experience running a pilot or proof-of-concept and converting it into a full contract
• Built their own pipeline: a large share of past closed revenue was self-sourced
• Experience running full sales cycles with multiple stakeholders
• Comfortable with fast change and light structure; we value autonomous learning and think the best fit for this role is someone who doesn't need daily coaching
• Willing (and able!) to Travel throughout Europe – we are a fully remote company, which means you’ll predominantly be able to work wherever you’d like. However, you should expect to travel throughout the year for this role, whether that’s for client meetings, conferences, networking functions or staff events.

While not necessary, we’re especially interested in candidates with the below:

• Experience selling into HR or People teams at scale-ups
• Experience selling a usage-based or consumption product
• Experience with consultative selling / managed services
• Experience running RFP-led enterprise deals through procurement
• Experience using MEDDPICC framework
• An existing network in the European tech and scale-up scene
• A second language relevant to our markets (e.g. German, Dutch, Nordic)
