Role Description

We're hiring an Account Executive to join our UK Team, working closely with the UK Sales Director. You'll have a hunger and drive to smash sales targets with a proven track record of sourcing and closing new accounts, alongside being fed by a successful SDR.

Your work here will include:

  • Increase sales revenue and gain market share in line with Glodon's growth targets.
  • Generating your own pipeline through cold calling, outreach, and market mapping.
  • Owning the full sales cycle — from first conversation to signed contract.
  • Qualifying hard, progressing deals with discipline, and forecasting accurately.
  • Running structured discovery using SPIN methodology to uncover real business pain.
  • Delivering compelling product demonstrations tied directly to commercial outcomes.
  • Building relationships with decision-makers across Tier 2 & Tier 3 construction businesses.
  • Proficiency in using CRM software and sales tools
  • Driving revenue growth, not activity metrics.
  • Identify new market opportunities.
  • Travel across the territory for face-to-face meetings and industry events.
  • Provide forecast commitments on a monthly and quarterly basis.

Ideally, your expertise includes:

  • 3+ years of closing experience within the ConTech space.
  • Have a proven history of winning new business, not just managing accounts.
  • Can demonstrate deals you personally created, developed, and closed.
  • Experience in successfully negotiating complex sales transactions, proactively taking up initiatives to develop an incremental business pipeline and drive sales activity.
  • Understanding of the customer’s decision-making process, goals, objectives, and strategies.
  • Are commercially sharp — you understand value, risk, margin, and ROI discussions.
  • Strong negotiation, organisational, presentation, financial acumen, written, and verbal communication skills.
  • Know how to control momentum, handle objections, and ask for the business.
  • Self-starter, high energy, aggressive and results-oriented personality.

The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here

This role suits someone who:
  • Enjoys the chase more than the comfort of existing accounts.
  • Is commercially curious and asks better questions than competitors.
  • Wants autonomy, ownership, and accountability.
  • Takes pride in being a deal closer.
