Mid-Market Account Executive, New Logo

Board Intelligence is a technology and advisory firm on a mission to make boards more effective, and through them, build better businesses and benefit society.

Over twenty years we have established ourselves as the market leader in governance and board effectiveness, trusted by more than 80,000 directors, executives, and governance professionals globally, including across the Fortune 500, FTSE 100, and OMX 30. That trust has been earned through depth of insight, rigorous advisory work, and a track record that newer entrants simply cannot replicate.

We have invested in applied AI since 2020, well ahead of the market, and that early conviction has paid off. Our AI-powered platform and smart board advisor give us a competitive advantage that is widening, not narrowing. In 2024, K1 Investment Management, the leading B2B Enterprise SaaS investor, backed us to accelerate that position further. We are now growing fast, with a proven commercial model spanning both mid-market and enterprise, and a product suite that has become a necessary addition in high-stakes board environments.

The people joining us now will shape how we scale. We are deliberate about how we do that. Our founders and leadership team are deeply invested in keeping the culture that got us here: thoughtful, high calibre, and genuinely human. Ambition and balance are not in competition at Board Intelligence.

If you want to work at the intersection of AI and governance, on problems that matter at the highest level, this is a strong place to be.

Our Mission
We unleash the potential of organisations through the science of board effectiveness, building better businesses and benefitting society.

The Role

We are looking for an Account Executive to join our expanding sales team and take ownership of the UK mid-market. This is a full sales cycle role where you will be responsible for driving annual recurring revenue through new business acquisition, managing opportunities from first contact through to close, and building long term client relationships.

You will take a proactive approach to building and nurturing your pipeline, using creativity and persistence to open new conversations and develop qualified opportunities. Working closely with senior stakeholders across your accounts, you will act as a trusted partner, understanding their challenges and demonstrating how Board Intelligence can deliver measurable value.

This role will suit someone who is self-motivated, commercially minded, and thrives in a high-performance environment. You will have the confidence to engage with senior decision makers, the curiosity to understand their strategic priorities, and the credibility to position our product as a solution that enables better governance, smarter decision making, and stronger business outcomes.

Main Responsibilities

  • Identify, prospect, and qualify new business opportunities within the mid market segment

  • Own the full sales cycle from initial outreach through to close, managing multiple deals in parallel

  • Build and develop relationships with senior stakeholders and decision makers across target accounts

  • Lead structured discovery conversations to uncover client challenges, priorities, and buying drivers

  • Deliver tailored product demonstrations and proposals that clearly articulate value and business impact

  • Collaborate cross functionally with Marketing, Product, and Customer Success to support deal progression and seamless onboarding

  • Maintain accurate pipeline management, forecasting, and activity tracking within CRM systems

  • Contribute to continuous improvement of sales processes, messaging, and team performance through insight sharing

  • Confident managing the full sales cycle independently, from prospecting to close

  • Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to engage senior stakeholders

  • Self-motivated and driven to exceed targets, with strong organisational skills

  • A collaborative team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment

  • Knowledge of governance or the boardroom environment is an advantage but not essential

  • Gravitas to engage with senior stakeholders
