The focus of the role: 

We’re looking for a driven and experienced Senior Enterprise Sales Executive to join our growing Enterprise team. In this role, you’ll be responsible for identifying, developing, and closing new enterprise-level opportunities, with a strong focus on multi-seat sales to large organisations across a range of sectors.

You’ll work closely with our marketing, product, and customer success teams to deliver a high-quality experience to prospective clients, helping them understand the value of our corporate governance and ESG training solutions. This is a key role in supporting our growth, and you’ll be instrumental in bringing in high-value clients that contribute meaningfully to our long-term success.

You’ll need to be comfortable managing a complex sales cycle, building strong relationships with senior decision-makers, and proactively driving opportunities from first contact to close—while contributing to the achievement of ambitious revenue targets aligned with our overall business objectives.

Key Responsibilities:

• Identify, develop, and close multi-seat and larger enterprise opportunities across global markets.

• Consistently meet and exceed individual revenue goals in line with overall business objectives.

• Take ownership of the full sales cycle—from prospecting through to negotiation and close—with a strong focus on high-value, multi-seat deals.

• Develop and execute a scalable “land and expand” strategy to grow enterprise accounts and maximise long-term value.

• Collaborate with the B2C sales team to identify opportunities for expanding individual learners into broader enterprise solutions.

• Work closely with Marketing to create targeted outreach plans across key industries and buyer personas.

• Maintain a structured and proactive approach to pipeline management, delivering accurate sales forecasts, reporting regularly to senior stakeholders, and addressing risks or blockers to ensure consistent deal progression.

• Participate actively in cross-functional collaboration to ensure strategic alignment and successful client onboarding and retention.

• Contribute to the ongoing development of our enterprise sales approach, with the potential to grow into a sales leadership role as the team scales.

Desired Experience & Education:

• Minimum of 3+ years’ experience in a senior B2B sales role, with a consistent track record of exceeding revenue targets and closing complex, multi-stakeholder deals.

• Experience selling education, professional development or edtech solutions is preferred, particularly into HR, L&D, or senior executive decision-makers.

• Proven ability to build and maintain high-trust relationships with senior stakeholders across global organisations.

• Familiarity with consultative and solution-based sales methodologies, and comfortable navigating legal, procurement, and financial negotiations.

• Highly self-motivated, results-oriented, and able to work autonomously while contributing to a collaborative, cross-functional team environment.

• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, with a proactive approach to learning, adapting, and improving.
