Overview

Job Description

Position: Junior Account Executive

Location: Central London (Hybrid: 2 days in office, 3 from home)

Salary: £30,000  – £35,000 (DOE) + Uncapped Commission (£65k – £110k)

The Opportunity

We’re partnering with a fast-growing, venture-backed business operating at the centre of the startup and advisory ecosystem. They connect high-growth companies with experienced senior professionals (think CFOs, CMOs, and board-level advisors) on a flexible, fractional basis.

This is one of the fastest-growing areas in the market, aligned with the future of work, and the company is scaling rapidly both in the UK and internationally.

The Role

As an Account Executive, you’ll sell their advisory products, primarily Transition to Portfolio, to senior executives and founders, owning each deal end-to-end from first outreach to close. You’ll run a high-activity, KPI-driven day (dials, pitches and follow-ups on inbound leads) as part of a five-team sales floor, with a clear route to promotion into an Account Director role as you build a track record.
