About us

Named as one of the top SME suppliers to government by the Cabinet Office, Fivium is universally well respected for both our Saa S correspondence handling platform (e Case) and our digital development services.

Our tireless customer focus coupled with our dedication to delivering excellence means that our services are setting the benchmark across the industry and driving significant organic growth; however, we recognise that this is only possible because of our very talented and engaged team, which is our most precious and prized asset, so at Fivium our people come first - always.

About the role

As a New Business Account Executive at Fivium, you will be responsible for driving net new Saa S revenue growth within the UK Public Sector - with a particular focus on (but not limited to) Local Government, Police and NHS markets.

You will manage the full sales cycle - from prospecting and cold outreach through to deal closure - before seamlessly handing over new customers to our Account Management team to continue adding value.

You’ll leverage your Saa S sales experience, consultative approach and ability to work smart with AI tools (where necessary) to uncover, engage and convert high-value opportunities.

We’re looking for a self-starter who is driven by success, thrives in a collaborative and coaching-led environment and contributes positively to our culture as we continue to scale.

• Core duties and responsibilities
• Prospect, qualify and close new Saa S business opportunities within (but not limited to) Local Government, Police and NHS sectors.

• Build relationships with senior decision-makers across departments, understanding their challenges and demonstrating the value of Fivium’s solutions.
• Execute structured sales methodologies (MEDDPICC, Challenger, or similar) and maintain high standards of deal control.
• Use CRM (Hub Spot) effectively for pipeline management, forecasting and maintaining excellent data hygiene.
• Collaborate with Marketing to drive and subsequently convert targeted campaigns into qualified opportunities.

• Provide structured and data-backed forecasts to leadership.
• Conduct deal reviews both pre and/or post-sale to help inform product development teams
• Share market intelligence and feedback to help shape product strategy and go-to-market plans.
• Champion Fivium’s values, contribute to a high-performing supportive team culture and act as a role model for coachability and continuous improvement.
