Job Description
Senior Account Executive (UK)
About the role
Duvo helps big companies actually finish the operational work that nobody on
their team has time to close. The stuff that lives across an ERP, a few portals,
somebody's inbox, three spreadsheets, and the occasional phone call.
Our customers include one of Europe's largest online grocery retailers, a global
beauty e-commerce brand, a Middle East retail group, and a European pharmacy
chain. The buyer is usually a Head of Operations, Supply Chain, Finance or IT at a
large retailer or FMCG brand. New deals land at €100k-€250k ARR and grow from
there.
We're hiring a Senior AE for UK & Ireland. You own a named-account patch from
the first conversation through pilot, contract, and expansion. You'll work directly
with the Head of Commercial and the founders.
What you'll do
Own the UK & Ireland patch. Build the relationships, run discovery, scope the pilot,
win the contract.
Sell into operating teams, not IT. Most of our champions are Heads of Supply
Chain, Finance Directors, Commercial Operations leads. You need to talk their
P&L, their process, and their actual problem. Then you bring pre-sales in to show
how we close it.
Run discovery on a hypothesis. By the end of every first call there's a working
hypothesis on what we'd automate, a number on the cost of doing nothing, and a
next meeting in the diary.
Co-design pilots with pre-sales. Guaranteed outcome. A path into production.
Who you are
5+ years selling complex enterprise SaaS. Ideally something the buyer's team had
to integrate, configure, or operationally rely on. Six-figure deals. Multiple
stakeholders. Cycles measured in months.
You build pipeline yourself when you need to. The team helps, but the patch is
yours.
Commercial discipline is a habit. MEDDPICC, mutual action plans, multi-threaded
deals - second nature, not what you reach for in week three of the quarter.
You can sit in a room with a Supply Chain Director and a CIO and hold both sides
of the conversation.
You're honest with yourself about deals. You'd rather kill a bad one in week two
than carry it to quarter-end.
Nice to have
A consulting background (strategy, ops, or implementation). A few of our
customers came in through pilots that looked more like a consulting engagement
than a software sale.
Direct experience selling into Retail or FMCG operations.
What we offer
Competitive base, uncapped commission. We share the OTE range on the first
call.
Equity.
Seed-stage company backed by Index Ventures ($15M seed). Our founder and
CEO is Tom Cupr, who previously founded one of Europe's largest online grocery
retailers.
The UK patch is yours to build. You're the first AE on the ground here.
Remote across the UK, with travel to customer sites in London and across UK &
Ireland.
