Probate Sales Consultant in London

We're Octopus Legacy: one of the fastest growing tech companies in the country, part of the UK's most exciting and best-trusted group. We have a mission to transform a long-established industry and help our customers prepare for, and find support after, death.

As a Probate Sales Consultant at Octopus Legacy, you'll guide people through one of the hardest moments of their lives - helping them feel calm, supported, and confident about the practical steps that follow a death. This is a sales and customer service role at heart. You'll be the first voice our customers hear after a bereavement, the trusted person who explains how we can take the weight of probate and estate administration off their shoulders, and the problem-solver who helps them choose the service that's genuinely right for them.

You don't need prior probate experience. If you've got a background in sales or customer service and the empathy to handle sensitive conversations, we'll teach you everything you need to know about probate. It takes resilience, calm under pressure, and the ability to stay warm and clear even when conversations are tough. But if you're someone who finds purpose in helping people when it matters most - and you thrive in a fast-paced, target-driven, high-ownership environment - this role can be incredibly rewarding.

You'll have the freedom to be human - no rigid scripts, no robotic call targets. With the right tools, trust, and training, you'll take full ownership of the customer journey and spot opportunities to add value. Our values are simple: Customer-First. Work hard. Stay optimistic.

Key Responsibilities

• Be the first point of contact for customers after a death via phone, email, and chat - guiding them with clarity, warmth, and confidence.
• Understand each customer's situation and recommend the right probate and estate administration services for what they're going through.
• Lead consultations and quote calls, explain options clearly, and help customers make a confident, informed decision.
• Own the customer journey end-to-end - from the first enquiry through the probate quote to instructing the service - ensuring a seamless experience.
• Hit and exceed personal and team sales targets for engagement, conversion, and customer satisfaction, while always keeping support quality first.
• Keep accurate and confidential customer records.
• Share insights and ideas to improve processes, resources, and the overall customer experience.
• Collaborate across teams to drive efficiency and elevate service.
• Bring energy, initiative, and a problem-solving mindset to help the team grow and succeed.

Who Are You?

• A compassionate communicator who builds trust easily - especially when conversations are tough.

• Target-driven and commercially aware, with a genuine desire to help customers choose what's right for them.

• A team player who leads with kindness and genuinely cares about doing meaningful work.

Our Mission

Octopus Legacy is the place to plan for death and find support after loss. We take cold processes and turn them into something more human. Share more than money: leave voice notes, music, recipes. Shape a legacy that connects you while you're here. And after you're gone.

Founded by Sam after his mum died suddenly, we're a group of people who work in death because we've been affected by it. We know the difference a good plan makes, and what it's like when there isn't one. We're here to make a world where people talk openly about death and work out the real meaning of legacy.
