Senior Sales Executive (UK)

Are you a dynamic Seller with a hunter mindset, ready to conquer the networking security market? This opportunity is made for you!

Senior Sales Executive - UK

Your mission:

We are building our new-business engine in United Kingdom, and we are looking for a hungry, hunter-minded Account Executive to own net-new logo acquisition in the region. You will build your own pipeline, open doors with security and infrastructure leaders, and run complex enterprise sales cycles from first touch to signature — with signal-based prospecting, SDR support, Sales Engineering, and a sovereignty-led marketing motion behind you.

What you’ll do:

• Own net-new logo acquisition across a defined enterprise territory in United Kingdom. This is a pure hunting role — the territory is yours to build.


• Build and relentlessly grow a qualified pipeline through signal-led outbound, your own network, dedicated SDR support, and channel partners.


• Target enterprises that fit our ideal profile: internationally distributed organisations of roughly 1,000–20,000 employees operating across multiple countries.


• Engage senior decision-makers (CIO, CISO, CTO, Head of Network/Security) and translate our managed SASE, global connectivity, and data-sovereignty story into clear business value.


• Run the full sales cycle end to end — discovery, evaluation, business case, proposal, negotiation, close — backed by Sales Engineering and leadership.


• Use our managed connectivity / last-mile offering as a low-friction entry point that opens the door to broader SASE displacement conversations.


• Collaborate with channel and technology partners (MSPs, MSSPs, VARs, SPs) to extend reach and accelerate deals.


• Keep disciplined pipeline hygiene and accurate forecasting in HubSpot, and feed market and competitive insight back to marketing, product, and leadership.
  

What we’re looking for:

• A proven hunter with a track record of winning net-new enterprise logos — ideally in cybersecurity, networking, SASE/SD-WAN, or adjacent enterprise technology / SaaS.


• Consistent, demonstrable quota over-achievement.


• Genuine hunger and a self-starter mentality — you create pipeline, you don’t wait for it.


• Strong consultative selling skills and the credibility to engage and influence C-level stakeholders.


• Comfort building and selling with and through channel partners.


• Confidence with complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles for managed / high-value solutions.


• Familiarity with modern, signal-based prospecting and AI-assisted sales tooling to improve productivity and effectiveness.


• Professional English fluency for customer and internal communication; strong knowledge of the UK enterprise market is a clear advantage.


• Willingness to travel within the region as required.
  

What we offer:

• A clear territory in a displacement market, with a genuinely differentiated, Swiss-engineered managed SASE platform behind you.


• A strong base salary plus performance-based variable tied to qualified pipeline and new-logo wins.


• The backing of signal-based prospecting, dedicated SDR support, Sales Engineering, and a marketing engine anchored on European data sovereignty.


• The opportunity to be a foundational hire — directly shaping how Open Systems wins new business in your region.
