At Malt we believe that Ambition is the Way, so all lists of missions and responsibilities are non-exhaustive.

Key responsibilities ✨
•
Ownership & Strategy: Design and execute tailored UK account plans in alignment with guidance from the GAM and Head of GAM. Take full ownership of local revenue signed targets, striving for a minimum of 100% target achievement.

•
Active Prospecting & Account Mapping: Drive high-volume, high-energy local prospecting across mapped accounts. Identify, engage, and pitch to country-level decision-makers and hiring managers across HR, Procurement, IT, and core Business Units.

•
Deployment & Pilot Leadership: Lead the successful rollout of global framework agreements locally. Source, initiate, and support pilot projects and first-time use cases to drive immediate platform adoption and long-term retention.

•
Cross-Functional Orchestration: Act as the local operational anchor for your accounts. Collaborate seamlessly with Marketing, Finance, Onboarding, Customer Success, and Managed Service Providers (MSPs)/vendor networks to clear operational roadblocks and ensure delivery excellence.

•
Consultative Value Selling & Pipeline Hygiene: Use consultative sales frameworks (e.g., MEDDIC) to surface client pain points, conduct deep-dive needs assessments, and present ROI-driven solution pitches. Maintain real-time pipeline hygiene, accurate deal stage tracking, and forecasting inputs in CRM.

•
Global Synergy & Market Insights: Collaborate with international Key/Global Account Managers across different regions to share best practices and ensure unified global execution. Provide critical UK-specific market insights for RFPs, local constraints, and emerging use cases.

•
AI & Modern Sales Stack: Leverage modern sales tools—including LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Modjo (or similar), and internal AI-driven enablement solutions—to streamline outreach, perform account analysis, and maximize daily sales efficiency.

Activity & Success Expectations
• High-Rhythm Prospecting: Execute ~50 target outreach touchpoints/calls per week and secure ~6 face-to-face selling meetings weekly with new local hiring managers.

• Pipeline Coverage: Build and maintain 4x pipeline coverage relative to revenue targets leading into your first full post-ramp quarter.

• Project Activation: Consistently source new project opportunities (targeting 20+ initial project sourcings per quarter) to fuel account growth.

About you 🧑‍🚀
• Commercial Experience: 3–5+ years of commercial B2B experience in sales or account management.

• Recruitment / IT Staffing Foundation: Background in IT recruitment, IT staffing services, or technology personnel services, ideally combined with experience in SaaS or B2B tech sales.

• Growth Mindset & Energy: Strong blend of a hunter mindset with a client-centric, consultative style. Self-motivated, resilient, and proactive about driving daily activity and solving problems.

• Technical & Industry Understanding: Ability to speak the language of IT managers, CIOs, and enterprise department heads to identify skill gaps and project needs.

• Stakeholder Management: Fluent in English with exceptional written and verbal communication skills. Capable of building trust with operational hiring managers as well as presenting business reviews to senior executives.

• Disciplined Execution: Strong organizational and pipeline management skills, with experience using tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Gong, and CRM systems.

• Relish outbound engagement: Pick up the phone, initiate cold outreach, open new doors, and turn warm enterprise leads into long-term accounts.

• Embody a collaborative "we over me" mindset: Partner closely with Global Account Managers (GAMs) across borders to unlock massive enterprise wins.

• Bring positive energy and resilience: Approach complex enterprise roadblocks with genuine enthusiasm and problem-solving grit.

• Champion simplicity: Communicate clearly, find the most effective path forward, and execute fast without over-complicating strategy.

This role is NOT for you if you:

• Wait for inbound leads: Prefer managing inbound maint
