Remote Partner Sales Manager in Oxford

Hi, we’re Penfold - we’re on a mission to help everyone save enough to be comfortable in later life by making pensions accessible and engaging!

There’s over a trillion pounds in UK pensions, but the industry is full of traditional providers with outdated products and poor customer service.

Penfold is dragging the pension industry out of the dark ages with a platform built on modern technology.

We’re demystifying pensions to make pension saving easy, accessible and engaging.

We’re a focused team of 70 based primarily across London and Tallinn, and have raised significant funding from some of the most successful Fin Tech investors in the world.

We manage over £1bn of pension assets for over 100,000 savers and thousands of businesses, and we’re growing rapidly every month.

Our team is focused on building an amazing pension experience for our customers.

As we scale, we’re strengthening our Partner Sales team to unlock significantly more growth from the accounting firms we already work with.

You’ll spend significant time meeting accountants face-to-face, attending events, and positioning Penfold as the pension solution that helps firms streamline day-to-day processing and spend more time on high-value client work.
