With a new VP of Revenue accelerating enterprise logo acquisition, they now seek a Head of Mid-Market Sales to lead new business sales and account growth.

Key Highlights:

• Head of Sales position for their Mid-Market with real ownership and impact.
• Business at £16m ARR, in turnaround mode – chance to shape strategy and execution.
• Series B company with over £20m raised.
• Your team will total 5: 1 AM for digital, 1 Senior AM and 2 new business AEs - scope for the team to expand. The whole team is in a position to hit 100% this year.
• Covering both the UK and US - lot’s of white space within your territory.
• 40% win-rate and 85% of leads are through inbound.
• £20k - £50k ACV with a 60 day deal cycle.
• Directly reporting to the VP of Revenue who has scaled and exited after improving a revenue position over a number of years.
• Mid-market focus
• Global headcount of ~85, with 30 based in the UK – strong platform to influence and scale.
• Clear upside: within 3 months, upsell opportunities can deliver chunky expansions when the right motion is in place.
• Product with tangible ROI: saves TA & engineering time, reduces cost of bad hires, accelerates billable hours.
• Strong enterprise use cases: digital transformation, AI talent discovery, workforce intelligence.
• No-nonsense, high-performing culture – suited to driven operators who thrive in fast-paced environments.
• Compensation: £110k - £125k base x 2, pension, healthcare, dental, workspace budget allowance.

The Role:

• Lead, coach, and develop a mid-market sales team (currently 4–5) covering both inbound and outbound motions.
• Drive new ARR growth (~£2M target) on top of current £16.2M ARR by building pipeline and improving attainment beyond the current ~60%.
• Balance high inbound lead volume (currently 85% inbound) with development of outbound strategies to hit growth goals.
• Own and refine the mid-market sales playbook: deal cycles, pipeline management, forecasting, and execution.
• Coach reps on mid-market to enterprise-level motions, ensuring they know how to navigate complex deals (average contract value £20–50k, 60-day cycle).
• Leverage MEDDPICC as a consultative framework to multithread deals - engaging from C-level executives down through TA teams - to ensure alignment, stakeholder buy-in, and deal momentum.
• Strategically work with cross-functional partners (AM, Product, Engineering, CS) to overcome blockers (compliance, engineering objections, content/testing fit).
• Position the solution against key competitors and win by helping customers realise ROI in reducing bad hires and improving time-to-value.
• Recruit and retain top talent capable of thriving in a resource-limited, scaling environment.
• Build scalable reporting and performance management processes across the team.
• Act as a key member of the leadership team, contributing to GTM strategy and wider company growth.

Requirements:

• 2–3 years of people management experience, ideally having led a mid-market SaaS sales team.
• A track record of high individual performance prior to moving into management.
• Someone opinionated and objective in their approach - able to challenge assumptions and build rather than just follow a playbook.
• Strong coaching skills: can upskill reps on selling to multiple stakeholders (economic buyers, champions, influencers, blockers, users).
• Analytical and commercially minded - able to think through numbers, resources, and strategy.
• Experience managing teams with high inbound flow but able to drive outbound rigor to meet ambitious revenue goals.
• Comfortable working across geographies (UK & US), industries (SaaS, consultancies, non-tech), and deal sizes.
• Grit, resilience, and ability to thrive in a Series B, high-growth environment.
• Values-driven leader: no-nonsense, high-performance, empathetic, and ego-free.

Benefits:

• £110k - £125k base x 2 OTE.
• Fully remote working.
• Private health and dental.
• The tech you need for a suitable home office.
