We’ve built a dynamic, collaborative culture in which we hire and develop smart, driven people that share our desire to do work we can be proud of.

What excites you

• You’ll love taking a data driven approach to pitching GoCardless as a payment provider to Mid-Market (+$100m turnover or +$100m in funding) accounts.
• Closing multi-territory, multi-year deals with fast growing companies
• Identifying high-fit accounts within your territory/ book of business
• Developing account plans, working with stakeholders in marketing to deliver those plans and building your network within those accounts

• Candidates with an understanding of the MEDDIC/ MEDDPICC Sales methodologies (or similar) and experience in applying them
• A structured sales approach, experience of using salesforce and prior experience of selling complex SaaS products and services (Selling APIs is not essential but a nice to have)
• High activity: you are able to cover a large territory effectively and build a dynamic pipeline
• A consultative style and the ability to become a trusted advisor

Base salary range: £64,800 - £97,200 + 100% OTE
