Job Description

TOPdesk London is growing, and we’re looking for a proven closer to join our sales team as an Account Executive, driving new business across the UK & Ireland.

This is a quota-carrying role for someone who already has a track record of consistently hitting or exceeding target in a SaaS sales environment, is fluent in a modern sales methodology, and knows how to run a full-cycle process from qualified pipeline through to signature.

What you’ll do

• Own a pipeline of new business opportunities from demo stage through to close, with full accountability for hitting quota
• Partner with our BDR and Marketing teams – and generate your own pipeline where it counts – to keep a healthy, qualified pipeline
• Run demos with genuine technical credibility, handling objections and problem-solving live
• Lead strategic, multi-stakeholder conversations across different departments, seniority levels, and industries
• Navigate tender processes and contract negotiations to close complex deals
• Work cross-departmentally representing customer and business interests in equal measure
• From time to time, mentor and coach junior team members as a senior member of the sales team

Qualifications

Are you our new Account Executive?

• 2-3+ years of solid closing experience in SaaS sales, with a demonstrable history of hitting and/or exceeding target
• A genuine hunter mentality – you build pipeline as naturally as you close it
• Trained in and actively using a structured sales methodology (MEDDIC, SPICED, MEDDPICC, or equivalent)
• Comfortable running technical demos and objection-handling across multiple stakeholder types within an organisation
• Comfortable navigating procurement, tender, and contract processes
• Exceptional communication skills including written, verbal, and in presentation
• Self-directed, accountable, and comfortable owning outcomes rather than just activity

Additional Information
