Ready to build a UK sales engine from scratch, with a proven playbook and real customers already validating the model?
This is your shot to become the founding commercial hire for a fast-scaling voice AI company, with an existing blueprint to build from rather than a blank page.
We’re partnering with a high-growth, VC-backed startup
Our client recently closed a strong 15M round from top-tier investors and is led by a commercially sharp founding team with deep product and GTM expertise. They've already proven the model in their home market, live customers, outbound traction, and industry-specific playbooks, and are now looking for an ambitious, high-energy Founding AE to build the UK out from the ground up.
Quick Facts
- Already scaling fast, with multiple millions in ARR
- UK market already partially validated, outbound traction, existing customers and social proof to build from
What They’re Building
A voice AI platform that automates high-volume customer conversations, voice, WhatsApp, SMS and more, for consumer-facing businesses. Think: an AI layer that takes on the repetitive, high-volume conversations call centres struggle to scale, so human teams can focus on what actually needs them.
Location
Remote, no office yet; you’ll be building the UK presence as you go
What You’ll Do
- Own the UK market end-to-end, self-generate and close pipeline across mid-market and enterprise B2C accounts
- Target high-volume consumer businesses (telco, insurance, retail and other consumer-facing verticals)
- Run full-cycle sales on complex, five-figure-plus deals, from first outbound touch through technical scoping to close
- Lay the groundwork for a UK team, your results and approach will shape when and how the company hires locally
Must-Haves
- 2+ years of full-cycle AE experience, closing deals of €50K+
- True hunter mentality, proven ability to self-generate your own pipeline
- Entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable building a market with no local playbook to lean on
- Confident enough with the product to run technical sales conversations
- Willing to spend the first 1-2 months based in Berlin
- Comfortable starting as a hands-on IC before building out a team
Nice-to-Haves
- Founding AE or early-startup experience
- Experience launching or building a brand-new market
- A track record of entrepreneurship, including having founded something yourself
Compensation
OTE: Up to 200K (50/50 split) - Flexibility for top talent
Why Join?
This is a genuine founding seat, not a territory carve-out. You’ll own the UK build with a proven model to draw from rather than starting cold, with real revenue and validation already in place, and a clear path to leading a local team within months if you execute. If you want to build a market and be recognised for it, this is it.
