The Opportunity
We’re partnering with a fast-growing, venture-backed business operating at the centre of the startup and advisory ecosystem. They connect high-growth companies with experienced senior professionals (think CFOs, CMOs, and board-level advisors) on a flexible, fractional basis.

You’ll be engaging with a mix of prequalified leads as well as your own cold-generated prospects.
The Role
As an Account Executive, you'll sell their advisory products, primarily Transition to Portfolio, to senior executives and founders, owning each deal end-to-end from first outreach to close. You'll run a high-activity, KPI-driven day (dials, pitches and follow-ups on inbound leads) as part of a five-team sales floor, with a clear route to promotion into an Account Director role as you build a track record.
