Enterprise Account Executive (GBP 160k-200k OTE, Remote, Share Options)

Job Description

Type: Full time

Salary: £80k-£100K Base/£160k-£200K OTE

Location: Remote (work from anywhere within +/- 2 hours of UK time)

👋 Meet The Guru

Resource Guru is a blissfully simple scheduling tool that helps busy teams stay on track. We boost efficiency, improve resource utilisation, and increase project profitability - while promoting a healthy work/life balance.

We’re proud to be one of the leaders in our category, trusted by customers in over 100 countries - including top creative agencies like Publicis, TBWA, Grey, BBH, and M&C Saatchi, as well as household names like NASA, Accenture, CNN, Kraft Heinz, and the NHS. They rely on Resource Guru to manage one of their most valuable assets - their people’s time.

We’re a small, fully remote team based across the UK and Europe. We collaborate mainly via Slack, with occasional meetups to connect, plan, and celebrate. See if this is the right place for you.

⭐️ The role

This is not a traditional “quota-and-close” sales role. Resource Guru has historically grown through product-led adoption. As larger organisations increasingly adopt the product, we’re seeing more complex buying processes and operational requirements.

We’re now looking for someone who can help design our Enterprise sales motion, close strategic deals, and shape how larger organisations adopt and use Resource Guru.

You will own complex, consultative sales cycles with organisations evaluating Resource Guru as a strategic scheduling platform. These are thoughtful, multi-stakeholder deals involving operations, delivery teams, IT, and procurement. 

You will own enterprise opportunities end-to-end, from discovery through close.

You’ll work with leadership across the company to:

• close high-value deals
• shape our enterprise sales motion
• refine pricing, packaging, and positioning
• build repeatable enterprise sales processes

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys consultative selling, complex problem solving, and helping build a high-quality enterprise sales function from the ground up. This role is focused on closing complex, high-value deals, not generating outbound pipeline.

🤝 What You’ll Be Doing

Own Strategic Sales Cycles

• Lead consultative discovery with senior stakeholders (Ops, PMO, Finance, Delivery, IT)
• Map buying committees and build multi-threaded relationships
• Run structured deal processes from qualification through to close
• Navigate procurement, security reviews, and legal negotiations
• Partner with leadership and product teams on complex opportunities
• Ultimately, you are responsible for progressing opportunities and closing deals

Deliver World-Class Demos

Demos are a key part of how we sell.

You will:

• translate operational challenges into compelling product narratives
• run clear, structured, story-led demos
• demonstrate complex workflows simply and confidently
• adapt in real time based on stakeholder needs
• guide prospects toward clear next steps in the buying process

Act as a Strategic Advisor to Customers

Many prospects are trying to improve how they plan and allocate team capacity.

You will:

• help prospects think through workflow design and adoption
• advise on rollout strategies and implementation approaches
• quantify business impact and operational ROI
• position Resource Guru as a strategic improvement, not just a tool

Help Build Our Enterprise Sales Motion

Because this is an early enterprise role, you’ll help shape how we sell at this level.

You’ll contribute to:

• enterprise pricing and packaging
• qualification criteria and ICP refinement
• objection handling frameworks
• repeatable enterprise sales playbooks
• feedback loops into product and marketing

You won’t just execute the motion - you’ll help design it.

💎 What We’re Looking For

Experience

• 5–10+ years in B2B SaaS sales
• Experience closing complex deals (£20k–£250k+)
• Background in enterprise, strategic accounts, or consultative sales
• Experience navigating procurement, security reviews, and multi-stakeholder deals
• Experience selling to agencies, consultancies, engineering firms, or project-based businesses is a plus
