Through a data-led, wholesale model, they take full ownership of downstream execution - from pricing and localisation to content, supply chain, and marketplace expansion - enabling brands to grow faster with improved unit economics.Having scaled to over 65 active brands and multi-million-euro annual turnover, the company is now entering its next phase of growth. They are hiring an Account Executive to own and execute outbound brand acquisition end-to-end - from prospecting and ICP-led targeting through to audit-led selling, commercial structuring, and close - as the business accelerates expansion across the UK, Europe, and the US.Key Highlights:Individual contributor Account Executive role with full ownership of personal quota and end-to-end deal execution.VC-backed ecommerce platform founded by marketplace subject-matter experts with prior scale-and-exit experience.Backed by a leading UK VC, with clear ambition to build a category-defining business in global ecommerce.Early 8-figure turnover with strong runway, generating approximately €900k in monthly top-line product sales across global marketplaces.65+ active brands, typically founder-led businesses doing €500k–€50m on Amazon and other marketplaces.Lean, high-calibre team of ~25 across engineering, operations, customer success, and content.Small, early-stage commercial function (SDRs + AE), offering high visibility, ownership, and influence over how sales is done.100% outbound sales motion - Account Executives are expected to personally source, run audit calls, structure commercials, and close deals.Sales cycle of 2–4 months, with a clear, repeatable commercial model.Clear IC expectations: closing ~2 new brand partnerships per month, contributing directly to quarterly commerce targets.Proven wholesale commercial model with pre-agreed B2B pricing and margin-based partnerships, delivering tangible, measurable ROI for brands.Significant whitespace across the UK, Europe, and the US, with a strategic focus on expanding North American revenue.High-urgency, execution-led environment - best suited to AEs who thrive in fast-moving, imperfect setups and want meaningful impact.Role:Owning and executing the full sales cycle end-to-end, with a quarterly target of £3m in commerce, carrying full accountability for personal revenue performance.Personally sourcing and closing new brand partnerships via a 100% outbound motion, including cold outreach, audit calls, commercial structuring, negotiation, and close.Running high-quality discovery and audit conversations to deeply understand partner economics, performance gaps, and commercial upside.Structuring and presenting compelling commercial proposals that clearly articulate value, ROI, and long-term partnership potential.Owning your pipeline with rigour - qualifying effectively, forecasting accurately, and maintaining strong deal pace through to close.Managing multiple opportunities concurrently across different stages of the funnel, ensuring consistent progression against quarterly targets.Working from a defined ICP and target account list, while contributing feedback from the field to refine outbound messaging and prioritisation.Collaborating closely with founders and operations to ensure deals sold are deliverable, margin-positive, and aligned with business capacity.Operating with a high-urgency, high-ownership mindset in a lean environment where execution, pace, and follow-through matter.Contributing to the ongoing evolution of sales process, tooling, and playbooks as the commercial function scales.Requirements:Minimum 18 months experience closing new business as an Account Executive in a predominantly outbound-led environment.Demonstrated ability to own the full sales cycle — from cold prospecting and qualification through audit, commercial negotiation, and close.Comfortable carrying a meaningful personal quota and operating with clear revenue accountability in a fast-paced setting.Strong outbound skillset across cold calling, email, LinkedIn, and account-based approaches.Commercially sharp — able to defend value, structure deals intelligently, and avoid discount-led selling.Confident running discovery and audit-style conversations with multiple stakeholders, including senior commercial and operational decision-makers.Highly self-directed and comfortable in lean, scaling businesses where process is still being built and ownership is non-negotiable.Strong pipeline discipline, with experience forecasting accurately and managing deal momentum against tight timelines.Coachable, resilient, and motivated by performance, progression, and building something from an early stage.
