Account Executive AT VC Backed Startup

The job hunting process is sh*t so we flipped it on its head. With Jumpstart, senior sales roles at high-growth startups find you. If you've carried a quota, beaten it, and want your next role to come with real ownership, Jumpstart is for you. How does it work? We help experienced salespeople land roles at the UK's most exciting VC-backed startups and scaleups.

• Senior roles, curated: skip the job boards and the applications that go nowhere. Get access to AE, Enterprise, Founding Sales and Account Management roles, and hear back within days.
• Founders pitch to you: as a Jumpstarter once said, "you can't get vibes from a job description." Founder videos show you the role, the team and what they actually need before you commit to a conversation.
• Startups apply to you: alongside two-click applications, companies that like your profile send you interview requests. 80% of candidates get at least one.
• No recruiters in the middle: when the interest is mutual, we introduce you straight to the founder or hiring lead.
• Respect for your time: a CV and a 30-minute screening call. No case studies, no take-home tasks.
• Ongoing career growth: you'll join the Jumpstart community (the "best startup community in London"), with mentorship, events, and more long after you've signed. On average it takes ~4-6 weeks to land an offer, and you can do the process alongside your current role. The roles The exact role depends on the startup, but common roles on the Senior Sales stream include:
• Account Executive: own the full cycle, from pipeline to close
• Enterprise AE: run complex, multi-stakeholder deals with bigger contracts and longer cycles
• Founding AE: join as an early sales hire and build the motion without a playbook
• Account Manager: retain, expand and grow strategic customer relationships
• Customer Success Manager: own customer outcomes and drive renewals
• BDM / Sales Manager: drive new commercial growth at a fast-scaling company Compensation: £60–120k OTE typical, with some roles up to £140k OTE, plus equity (DOE).
