Sales Executive Job at London Full Time NEW

About Via

Via is an exciting AI-powered recruitment platform that delivers pre-qualified candidate shortlists in 24 hours. We work with FTSE 100/250 employers across a range of sectors to fill white-collar roles faster and at a fraction of the cost of traditional agencies.

Our matching algorithms are trained by working recruiters – not generic AI – and we have over 100,000 candidates on the platform already.

The role

We’re hiring Sales Executives to scale Via’s UK enterprise sales motion. You’ll be the engine of our growth — opening new accounts through outbound cold calling, converting prospects through high-quality in-person meetings, and managing the relationships that turn first deals into long-term subscriptions.

This is a hands-on, hunter-led role working directly with the founder, with significant earning potential. Ideal for someone who wants to be a meaningful early hire in a fast-growing B2B vertical AI business with strong existing traction.

Key responsibilities

• Cold-call senior HR, Head of Talent, COO, CFO and CEO contacts at UK mid-market and enterprise companies
• Book and conduct in-person discovery and demo meetings with target prospects
• Manage the full sales cycle from first contact through to closed-won
• Sell Via’s job-slot subscription model (£15–18k per slot per year, with multi-slot deals the norm for larger clients)
• Build and maintain client relationships through onboarding, working alongside our Candidate Success team
• Represent Via at industry events, in-person networking, and on LinkedIn
• Maintain accurate pipeline data in our CRM
• Provide market feedback to product and leadership teams

What we’re looking for

Essential

• 2–4+ years of B2B or services sales experience
• Demonstrable track record of hitting and exceeding sales targets
• Strong cold-calling and outbound prospecting skills — genuinely comfortable picking up the phone
• Confident in face-to-face meetings with senior stakeholders
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• UK-based, willing to travel for client meetings (London-centric, but UK-wide where needed)
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, early-stage environment

Nice to have

• Existing relationships with HR, Talent or operations leaders at UK mid-market companies
• Previous experience selling SaaS subscriptions in the £10–50k ACV range
• Background in recruitment, RPO or HR tech sales
• Experience at an early-stage company

Compensation

• Base salary: £30,000–£40,000 depending on experience
• Uncapped commission
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Hybrid working after probation: London office or home-based, with regular client travel

Why join us

• One of the first dedicated sales hires at a fast-growing AI-powered recruitment business
• Direct working relationship with the founder, with real autonomy and impact
• Product is genuinely proven – six paying enterprise customers already
• Real career progression as we scale
• Meaningful equity participation
