Job Description
Senior Account Executive
Department: Sales
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: United Kingdom
Reporting To: VP of Sales
Hi đź‘‹ I'm Cara, VP of Sales at Pinpoint.
We're a high-growth HR tech company building and selling software that helps in-house recruitment teams attract, hire, and onboard the right talent. Today, we have a strong foundation in place, with a mature product, rapid growth, strong product market fit, and happy customers.
We're experiencing rapid, sustainable growth. Over the last three quarters, our UK AE team has averaged 103% quota attainment. We've seen consistent success across both the SMB and Mid-Market segments, winning high-quality deals across industries.
To keep up with demand, we're hiring a Senior Account Executive to help us win Mid-Market accounts (typically 250 to 1,000 employee accounts). This is a full-cycle, high-velocity role. You'll own pipeline generation through to closed-won, working with TA leaders and HR executives to translate a highly configurable product into clear business value.
The Fine Print (but a bit more exciting)
- This is a remote role based in the UK. We meet in London and at events 2 to 3x per month.
- This is a high-velocity role. Expect to manage 20 to 40 open opportunities at once, take 3 to 5 calls a day, and run sales cycles of 30 to 90 days. If your background is purely long-cycle, low-volume enterprise selling, this is likely not the right fit.
- Our product is a configurable, platform-style product serving multiple personas, with monthly releases. You'll need to translate a highly configurable product into clear value for TA leaders, HR executives, and operational buyers.
- Outbound is a key part of the job. We have a healthy inbound funnel, but the expectation is roughly 70% inbound and 30% self-generated.
- Pinpoint isn't for everyone. We're still in startup mode: fast-moving, lean, and sometimes ambiguous. You'll thrive here if you're proactive, adaptable, and comfortable building structure where none exists.
- Our values actually matter here. We hire people who reflect them in how they work, collaborate, and make decisions.
About the Role:
- Own the full 360° sales cycle, driving new logo acquisition through outbound prospecting, qualification, solution scoping, tailored demos, and close
- Develop deep understanding of prospects' pain points, challenges, and business objectives. Guide buying committees, up to and including C-suite, through consultative sales engagements
- Run high-impact, bespoke product presentations and demos that address specific customer needs and clearly communicate Pinpoint's unique value and ROI
- Navigate negotiations including procurement, legal, compliance, and pricing to remove barriers and accelerate deal closure
- Build, manage, and accurately forecast a robust pipeline of qualified opportunities using HubSpot, consistently achieving or exceeding quarterly sales quotas
- Self-source roughly 30% of pipeline through outbound, executive networking, named-account work, and re-engaging previously lost opportunities
- Represent Pinpoint as a thought leader in the talent acquisition space, bringing the latest trends and competitive insights into your sales conversations
- Play an active role in building a high-performance, inclusive sales culture. Share what you learn, support your peers, and contribute to the overall growth of the company
Tech stack: HubSpot, Gong, Cognism, ChilliPiper, Crossbeam
About You
- 2+ years of full-cycle AE experience, ideally with a BDR or SDR background before that. Track record of closing deals >ÂŁ50K ACV.
- Strong outbound prospecting muscle. You can build pipeline when inbound slows, and you don't wait for leads to land in your lap
- HR-tech experience or a recruiting background is preferred
- You've sold a technically complex product before. Configurable, multi-stakeholder, and won in competitive replacement deals against entrenched incumbents
- Skilled at stakeholder management. Comfortable building consensus across operational, technical, and executive buyers, and guiding prospects through evaluation and procurement
- Strong pipeline hygiene at high volume. Follow-up, forecasting, and deal management don't slip when you're juggling a lot
- Background at companies with fewer than 1,000 employees is preferred
- Technically literate. Able to independently learn tools, run your own demos, and troubleshoot without heavy support
- Gravitas, executive presence, and polished written and spoken communication. Able to hold your own in a room with senior HR and C-suite buyers
- Based in the UK and able to travel within the UK 2 to 3 times per month for team meetups and events
