Role Requirements

• A minimum of 5 years of sales experience in the UK with a demonstrated history of consistently meeting and exceeding sales targets.
• Your recent background should ideally be in inbound sales, with a focus on B2B or SaaS (or services similar to Sleek's UK offering).
• A stable tenure of at least 18 months in each of your last two roles (barring exceptional circumstances).
• Native English proficiency and based within an hour of London or Leeds, making it easy for you to come to our offices at least once per week.

Behavioral Fit

• Ownership: This shows reliability and helps build trust within the team. We move fast and need to know that everyone will see things through to completion and proactively help to get things back on track when challenges arise. Accountability is really important to us.
• Humility: There is so much we don't know. Humility allows for open‐mindedness to feedback and a willingness to learn from others. It paves the way for collaboration and creates a positive work environment. It is a key ingredient of self‐awareness and emotional intelligence.
• Structured Thinking: Our business is complex with many layers (many services, many countries, many cultures). Regardless of whether you're more analytical or creative in nature, being able to show sound judgement is important to us. It ensures solutions are pragmatic and balance the needs of the organisation, team and customers.
• A Great Listener: Our prospects need to feel heard and understood by you. You will present in a kind, calm, warm, attentive manner—working cooperatively to help solve the needs of our potential customers and never interrupting them.
• Data Driven: We are a data‐rich business with ~15,000 small customers. Each decision we make can impact many more people than we realise – so it's critical that we use sound data to support our strategies and review the success of our initiatives.
• Can Have Tough Conversations in a Positive Way: It's not a matter of if, but when difficult interpersonal situations arise. Disagreement, conflict and disappointment are a given in a fast moving business where people care about their work. People that proactively have tough conversations with kindness build empathy, trust and great working relationships.

Benefits

• Humility and Kindness: We are committed to creating and nurturing a diverse and inclusive environment. We foster humility and kindness in our culture.
• Flexibility: You'll be able to work from home. If you need to start early or start late to cater to your family or other needs, we don't mind, so long as you get your work done and proactively communicate. You can also work fully remote from anywhere in the world for 1 month each year.
• Financial Benefits: We pay competitive market salaries and provide staff with generous paid time off and holiday schedules. Certain staff at Sleek are also eligible for our employee share ownership plan and can share in the upside of our stellar growth trajectory as we work toward listing on a prominent stock exchange in the Asia Pacific region.
• Personal Growth: You'll get a lot of responsibility and autonomy at Sleek—making decisions, making mistakes and learning. There's also a range of internal and external facing training programmes we run. We're also at the forefront of utilising AI in our space and are developing a regional centre of AI excellence.
