The Opportunity
We are looking for a Senior Account Executive to join our UK & Ireland team, focused on driving strategic growth across enterprise customers. You will operate at the intersection of data, AI, and enterprise transformation, engaging senior stakeholders and leading complex, high-value opportunities.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and drive Data Integrity Suite ARR growth within a target set of existing Precisely customers
- Self-source a meaningful share of your own pipeline rather than relying solely on BDR or marketing-generated leads.
- Drive successful sales campaigns within net new logo accounts from marketing and BDR qualified leads.
- Run competitive displacement deals against incumbent data platforms, often starting from a position of little or no existing relationship.
- Lead C-level and VP-level conversations independently, without an SE or manager in the room, from first meeting through close.
- Challenge customer thinking directly when their stated requirements don't match their actual business problem — and hold that position under pushback.
- Qualify out of poor-fit opportunities early rather than forcing deals that will struggle to close and subsequently renew and expand
- Once a logo is won, stay engaged enough to protect the relationship and identify expansion signals.
What We’re Looking For
Hunter attributes (primary emphasis)
- Track record where the majority of quota has come from net new business growth rather than renewals or simple upsell opportunities.
- Enterprise software sales track record.
- Demonstrable history of self-generated pipeline: can speak specifically to deals they personally created, not just deals they closed.
- Experience displacing incumbent vendors in competitive, entrenched accounts — comfortable being the challenger, not just the presenter.
- A direct, opinionated selling style: someone who will tell a customer an uncomfortable truth about their environment rather than agree to keep the deal moving.
- Genuine energy for the first 0-to-1 phase of a deal — prospecting, cold outreach, and creating urgency where none existed.
Farmer attributes (present, secondary)
- Able to run a structured account plan and identify expansion opportunity within existing customers.
- Comfortable partnering with customer success to ensure a smooth post-sale transition.
- Track record of low churn / high retention on the accounts they've personally closed, even if they weren't the one managing renewal.
The 'strong personality, high trust' balance
- Confident and assertive in the room, but demonstrates humility — able to say "I was wrong" or "let me find that out" in front of a customer without losing authority.
- Pursues opportunities relentlessly without being pushy: knows the difference between persistence and pressure, and customers can tell.
- Builds trust through candour and expertise rather than likeability alone — customers should come away thinking "I trust their judgment," not just "I like them."
- References and past managers describe them as someone customers wanted to keep talking to, even in tense moments (e.g., pricing pushback, implementation issues, competitive threats).
Why Join Precisely?
- Work at the forefront of data integrity and AI
- Engage with leading enterprise organisations
- Be part of a high-performing sales team
- Shape strategic, high-value deals
Preferred Requirements
- 7+ years of closing experience in enterprise software sales, ideally with exposure to data infrastructure, analytics, or data management platforms.
- Demonstrated success selling into complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise buying committees ($100K+ ACV deals).
- Familiarity with modern data ecosystem competitors and adjacent players (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks) and how to position against or alongside them.
- Formal sales methodology training (MEDDIC, Challenger, Command of the Message, or equivalent) with evidence of applying it, not just completing it.
