Account Executive

Ready to accelerate Sievo’s growth in one of our strongest markets? We are Sievo, a Finnish-born, global-leading procurement analytics SaaS company. Our European sales team is entering its next growth phase. We are looking for an experienced Account Executive to join our UK team and accelerate growth in the market.

The UK is already one of Sievo’s most successful regions. For years, we have built the market remotely from our Helsinki HQ, closing enterprise deals and building relationships with leading companies. Now we are taking the next step: establishing a local UK office and strengthening our on-the-ground presence.

Your mission as an Account Executive:

• Your primary focus will be driving new business in the UK market.
• You will identify, create, and develop new enterprise opportunities while building relationships with procurement and finance leaders in large global companies.

Your responsibilities include:

• Building and managing a strong enterprise sales pipeline
• Owning new customer acquisition in the UK
• Engaging with senior stakeholders including CPOs, CFOs, and procurement leaders
• Leading complex enterprise SaaS sales cycles
• Working closely with Marketing, SDRs, and Technical Sales to convert opportunities
• Representing Sievo in industry events, customer gatherings, and procurement conferences
• Helping shape Sievo’s go-to-market approach in the UK

This role calls for strong ambition and initiative — identifying new opportunities, initiating meaningful conversations, and building momentum in the market. But don’t worry, you won’t be doing it alone. We’ll support you with:

• A proven product and reference customers in the UK
• A well-established European sales organization to back you up
• Dedicated Sales Development, Technical Sales, and Marketing teams
• A local UK leadership team and Helsinki-based sales organization building the market together

What we’re looking for:

• Experience in B2B SaaS or enterprise solution sales
• A proven track record of creating and closing new business opportunities
• Strong ability to engage senior decision-makers within large organizations
• A strong sense of ownership and accountability
• Confidence and patience in navigating long and complex enterprise sales cycles
• Interest in becoming an expert in Procurement Analytics
• Fluent spoken and written English

What we also appreciate:

• Prior understanding of procurement, experience working in procurement or with procurement solution providers will help you make a flying start!
• Ability to hold discussions in other languages, such as French or German, is considered an advantage

What awaits you at Sievo:

• The opportunity to play a key role in building Sievo’s UK presence, trusted with ownership and flexibility to shape your role
• Competitive compensation with uncapped earning potential
• A proven product with strong enterprise references, and access to a mature sales organization and support structure
• You’ll work directly with high profile executives from Fortune 500 companies
• Sievonians are ambitious, yet kind and supportive
• Our Finnish roots run deep: we are founded on an open, honest and transparent Nordic working culture where we value freedom and responsibility

The salary model consists of base salary and commission (50/50 split), with approximate OTE of £150,000 - £170,000. This is a full-time position, and Sievo has a hybrid working model. Candidate is expected to be based in the London metropolitan area (or nearby) and join us at the office in London around 2-3 days per week. Please note that we are unable to provide relocation sponsorship for this role and all candidates should be eligible to work in the UK.
