Account Executive

About Thomas   

Thomas helps organisations predict how people will perform, connect and grow at work.

For over 40 years, organisations around the world have used Thomas to make better people decisions. Today, we're building the next step: Predictive People Intelligence.

Our platform, CXI, brings together Behaviour, Personality, Aptitude, Emotional Intelligence and Connection, helping HR and business leaders make hiring, team and leadership decisions based on evidence rather than instinct.

We're growing our UK new business team and looking for an ambitious Account Executive to help bring our people intelligence solutions to more organisations across the UK.

The Opportunity 

This is an opportunity to take real ownership of new business growth, working with mid-sized and larger organisations to solve meaningful people challenges.

You'll manage the full sales cycle, from understanding customer needs and demonstrating value through to negotiation and closing. But the relationship doesn't end with the signature. You'll work alongside Customer Success to help the customers you win realise value and identify opportunities to grow.

You'll also be part of a collaborative sales pod, working closely with Business Development Associates to build pipeline, develop opportunities and win new business.

We're looking for someone who enjoys the challenge of winning deals, believes in consultative selling and wants to make a meaningful contribution to the growth of our UK business.

What you'll be doing

• Own the full sales cycle, from discovery and product demonstrations through to proposals, negotiation and closing.
• Build relationships with senior HR, talent and business leaders, understanding their challenges and showing how Thomas can help.
• Develop and execute targeted account plans, prioritising organisations with the strongest fit for our solutions.
• Work alongside Business Development Associates to develop qualified opportunities, while proactively building your own pipeline.
• Partner with Customer Success to support newly won customers and identify opportunities for further growth.

• Take ownership of your sales targets, managing a healthy pipeline and maintaining accurate, evidence-based forecasts in Salesforce.
• Navigate complex buying processes, including multiple decision-makers, procurement requirements and tenders.
• Collaborate with Marketing on campaigns and initiatives that generate demand across your target market.
• Share customer insights, market trends and successful sales approaches to help strengthen our wider sales team.

What we're looking for

We're looking for a commercially driven salesperson who knows how to build relationships, uncover customer needs and turn opportunities into successful partnerships.

• A proven track record of winning new business and achieving sales targets in B2B SaaS, technology or digital solutions.
• Experience managing the full sales cycle and selling into mid-sized or larger UK organisations.
• A consultative, insight-led approach to selling, with strong discovery, demonstration and negotiation skills.
• Confidence engaging senior stakeholders and navigating complex buying decisions.
• Experience building your own pipeline, alongside working collaboratively with business development teams.
• Strong commercial judgement, with experience managing opportunities, forecasts and account plans using Salesforce or a similar CRM.
• A proactive, self-motivated approach and the ability to work effectively as part of a wider team.

• Experience navigating public sector procurement frameworks or corporate tenders.
• Experience selling into enterprise or multinational organisations.
• Knowledge of HR technology, talent assessment, psychometrics or people development.
• Experience using modern sales technologies, including AI-powered tools.

You don't need to tick every box. If you have strong consultative B2B sales experience and are excited by what we're building, we'd encourage you to apply.
