Account Executive UK Market
at FlanksA Little Bit About Flanks ๐ Flanks is shaking up the wealth management industry by making it simpler and way more efficient for financial institutions. Our SaaS platform is designed to help banks, family offices, and wealth managers get a full picture of their clients' financial assetsโall in one place. ๐ผ๐ก Founded in 2019 and based in Barcelona, we've brought together a team of passionate wealth management and tech pros, all with a shared goal: to change how wealth management is done. Backed by โฌ23 million in investment, we're growing fast, and we're not stopping anytime soon! ๐๐ฅ What We Stand For
- People First ๐ค โ our team comes first. We want every Flanker to feel at home, engaged, and part of something bigger.
- Keep Growing ๐ฑ โ as the company grows, so should you. We're all about personal and professional development here.
- Think Twice, Act Once ๐ง ๐ญ โ we believe in thoughtful decisions, considering the impact on both our team and our clients before taking action. If you're looking for a place where you can grow and make an impact at a fast-paced, exciting fintech startup, this might just be the place for you! ๐ฏโจ About The Role ๐ผ As an Account Executive UK, you'll own the full sales cycle in one of our most strategic markets: from spotting the opportunity to signing the deal. You'll be selling a technical SaaS product to banks, wealth managers, family offices and other financial institutions across the UK. This is an individual contributor role reporting to our UK Country Manager. You'll be the face of Flanks in the market: building your own pipeline, running your own deals, and closing them. What You'll Do ๐ ๏ธ Here's what you can expect to work on:
- Own the full sales cycle end to end: prospecting, discovery, demo, proposal, negotiation and close for the UK market.
- Identify and pursue new business opportunities within banks, wealth managers, family offices and other financial institutions.
- Build and maintain your own pipeline through outbound campaigns, cold calling, networking events, industry conferences and online channels.
- Run in-depth discovery conversations to understand each prospect's business, tech stack and pain points.
- Present and demo our platform in a compelling, consultative way, tailored to each stakeholder in the room.
- Develop and deliver proposals, quotes and presentations that clearly articulate our value proposition and competitive advantages.
- Negotiate and close deals that work for both the client and Flanks.
- Conduct market research to stay on top of customer needs, industry trends and the competitive landscape in the UK.
- Collaborate closely with Marketing, Product and Customer Success to make sure what we build and what we promise stay aligned.
- Keep sales activity, customer interactions and deal progress accurate and up to date in our CRM.
- Meet or exceed your sales targets and contribute to the overall growth of Flanks in the UK. What We'd Love To See ๐
- +3 years of experience in SaaS sales, ideally in a closing role where you carried your own quota.
- A financial background, or solid experience selling to financial institutions (banks, wealth managers, asset managers, family offices). Fintech experience is a big plus.
- Comfortable owning the full sales cycle as an individual contributor, you don't need a big machine behind you to generate pipeline.
- Knowledge of modern sales methodologies and the ability to actually apply them.
- Self-motivated and target-driven, with a proven track record of hitting or beating quota.
- Excellent communication, negotiation and presentation skills. You can hold your own in front of senior stakeholders at large institutions.
- Curiosity about technical products: you enjoy understanding how things work under the hood.
- Fluent English. Other languages (French, Spanish, Germanโฆ) are a plus.
- Based in the UK, within commuting distance of London. You'll be in our Paddington office 2 days a week. If this sounds like you, don't worry if you don't check every single boxโwe'll support your growth along the way. ๐๐ What We Offer ๐
- A full-time, permanent contract. ๐
- We offer what we think is fair compensation plus a great commision package.
- Flexible working hours and hybrid work 2 days a week in our London office at 5 Merchant Square, Paddington (W2), a 5-minute walk from Paddington station. โฐ๐
- Paid day off on your birthday. ๐๐
- Regular team trips to our Barcelona HQ to connect with the rest of the Flankers. โ๏ธ๐
- A yearly training budget to keep growing. ๐๐ The hiring process โ๏ธ
