Our Senior Sales Executives are the spearhead of our market expansion and new business growth. Using our BANT-driven sales methodology and systematic prospecting framework, you'll own the full sales cycle from initial discovery through to closing deals. This role combines sharp commercial instincts with public sector expertise – you'll navigate complex stakeholder environments while building compelling value propositions. You'll hunt strategically, qualify rigorously, and drive new business revenue through methodical pipeline development and consultative solution selling.

At Phew, we embrace accountable roles with clear metrics that directly tie to company growth. This enables autonomous work while maintaining high standards of sales execution. Your mission: expand our market presence while delivering consistent new business success through disciplined sales excellence.

What You'll Do

Lead Generation & Prospecting: Identify and pursue new business opportunities through research, networking, and cold outreach, targeting our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), and setting up initial discovery calls.
Outbound Lead Validation: Handle outbound lead validation via phone to qualify potential clients prior to demo calls.
Sales Discovery: Conduct discovery sessions to understand, assess, and qualify customers' needs, challenges, suitability and goals.
Methodology Application: Utilise effective sales methodologies like BANT, Value Selling, or SPIN to enhance sales effectiveness.
Sales Pipeline Management: Maintain a robust sales pipeline using our HubSpot CRM system, ensuring accurate tracking and reporting of sales metrics and KPIs.
Sales Strategy Execution: Help develop and implement sales strategies to meet and exceed sales targets.
Customer Relationship Management: Build and nurture strong relationships with clients to ensure satisfaction, loyalty, and repeat business.
Collaboration: Work closely with the marketing team to create campaigns that drive lead generation and with the product development team to provide insights on customer needs.
Account Management: Identify opportunities for upselling and cross-selling within existing accounts.
Market Intelligence: Stay informed on industry trends, competitor activities, and market developments to inform sales strategies.

Who We're Looking For

This is a high-activity, full-cycle sales role. We need someone who understands that pipeline is built through consistent outbound effort – not by waiting for inbound leads. You'll be making 500–700 calls per month on top of running demos and discovery sessions. If that sounds like your kind of rhythm, read on.

Comfortable with longer public sector sales cycles (3–12 months) and complex stakeholder environments
IT-savvy and confident using CRM systems (HubSpot preferred) as a daily working tool, not just a reporting requirement
Action-oriented and disciplined – you build pipeline methodically and don't rely on shortcuts
Curious by nature – you want to understand the safeguarding sector, our products, and what makes each prospect tick
Adaptable, thriving as we scale while helping others do the same

CRM & Technology Proficiency: Confident, hands-on user of CRM platforms (HubSpot preferred). You treat CRM as your primary sales tool – not an afterthought. Comfortable with sales automation, sequences, and reporting dashboards.
