<p>You will engage with economic buyers within merchant accounts to identify and secure a role for GoCardless as a payment provider. You will liaise with a multitude of stakeholders and departments, from finance and engineering to marketing and procurement. By successfully multitasking, you will build business cases and ultimately secure commercial arrangements.</p>
<p>We’ve built a dynamic, collaborative culture where we hire and develop smart, driven people who share our desire to do work we can be proud of.</p>
<p><strong>What Excites You</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>You’ll love taking a data-driven approach to pitching GoCardless as a payment provider for Enterprise ($500m+) accounts.</li>
<li>Closing multi-territory, multi-year deals with fast-growing companies.</li>
<li>Identifying high-fit accounts within your territory/book of business.</li>
<li>Developing account plans, working with stakeholders in marketing to deliver those plans.</li>
<li>Selling the value of our global payments platform and then developing opportunities through negotiation to contract closure.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What Excites Us</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Minimum of 3+ years of sales experience in a B2B SaaS environment and a track record of achieving and exceeding quota.</li>
<li>Previous sales experience in the Payments industry or in fields focused on Open Banking is a plus.</li>
<li>Knowledge and experience within some of our core verticals in Financial Services, Utilities, Telco and Insurance is a plus.</li>
<li>Experience selling to CxO (CFO/CTO ideally) and other stakeholders.</li>
<li>Candidates with an understanding of the MEDDIC/MEDDPICC Sales methodologies (or similar) and experience in applying them.</li>
<li>A structured sales approach, experience using Salesforce, and prior experience selling complex SaaS products and services (selling APIs is not essential but is a nice-to-have).</li>
<li>High activity: you are able to drive growth within new and existing, assigned Enterprise accounts.</li>
<li>A consultative style and the ability to become a trusted advisor.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Salary range: £62,720 - £94,080 + 100% OTE</strong><br></strong><br>Base salary ranges are based on role, job level, location, and market data. Please note that whilst we strive to offer competitive compensation, our approach is to pay between the minimum and the mid-point of the pay range until performance can be assessed in role. Offers will take into account level of experience, interview assessment, budgets and parity between you and fellow employees at GoCardless doing similar work.</p>
