We need a Senior Sales Executive for AXA-backed health-tech venture called Birdie who are reinventing the way we care for the elderly.

• Location: Angel
• Permanent, full-time
• up to £40k base + £35k OTE + benefits + equity (dependent on experience)

The mission of the Senior Sales Executive is to drive Birdie’s go-to-market strategy by forging partnerships with homecare agencies. You’ll take responsibility for optimising all the key aspects of the sales cycle, from developing sales materials, adapting sales strategies, optimising sales and marketing processes, and of course, executing sales. You’ll be reporting into the Head of Sales & Marketing and will have continuous interactions with the CEO and the management team. You will drive the whole Sales and Marketing team to optimise the funnel from end to end. You’ll have the opportunity to coach more junior members of the team, and the growth trajectory of Birdie means your own development path will be in your own hands!

To start with, your main focus will be closing deals with owners of SME homecare agencies to have them partner with Birdie. You’ll have the support of a fantastic sales development team to build your pipeline, but in an industry such as care, establishing your own online and offline network will also be key. And you’ll need to drive improvement across every workstream in the venture (sales, marketing, product) based on the feedback you gather and your innovative ideas and suggestions.

How youll contribute to Birdie:

• Shape, test, iterate and improve our sales efforts, with the goal of achieving a 20% improvement in key sales metrics within 3 months;
• Drive improvements across all workstreams, including marketing & product, by sharing feedback from your interactions with clients & contributing your own ideas;
• Conduct over 35 video pitches each month and achieve a close rate of 60% (as we’re currently achieving!);
• Achieve a 1 month average sales cycle time for SME homecare agencies;
• Market Birdie at 3 – 5 conferences per year, with individual goals set for those conferences;
• Coach more junior members of the team to improve their sales skills.
