account executive emea for saas solution, remote (uk) jobs



 
THE COMPANY

Gatekeeper is a SaaS-based, next-generation solution that transforms how organisations manage their suppliers and contracts. We help our customers to reduce risk, improve compliance and maximise value.

Due to strong global growth, we're opening the doors for new Account Executives (Inside sales) to join the team. This is a rare chance to join a true technology startup, working with a close-knit team to create new business processes, uncover new opportunities and position yourself for success and rapid career progression.

A sales career at Gatekeeper might not be for everyone. We hire a small percentage of the people who walk through our door. If that doesn’t put you off - you might just have what it takes to join us in the exciting times ahead.

Note: This is a remote position, so your physical location can be anywhere in the UK.

ABOUT YOU:
  • Are you a sales focussed problem solver, with an incredible ability to listen, understand, build rapport and close new customers?
  • Do you want to work in a fast-moving, fast-growing, fast-talking start up and have uncapped earning potential?
  • Do you have what it takes to deliver value over and above expectations on a consistent basis?
DO NOT apply for this job if:
  • You are not fanatically focused on a data-driven sales to consistently exceed quota for uncapped personal gain
  • You ever consider mediocrity acceptable
  • You need to be told what to do
  • You want to be the smartest person in the (virtual) room
  • Don’t like working with the best and learning something new everyday
  • You have an ego bigger than your sense of humour

YOUR QUALITIES
