We provide secure, resilient and globally scalable connectivity, backed by real expertise - powering 1.8M+ connections across 600+ networks in 150+ countries, at 99.995% uptime. Global IoT Connectivity Made Effortless.
The Role
We're hiring a New Business Account Executive to join our commercial team and win new customers for Pelion. This role is purely focused on new business: we're looking for a natural hunter who thrives on opening doors, creating opportunities from scratch, and winning new logos - from first outreach through to close.
You'll start by learning the product, our market, and our sales process, with support from your manager. From there, you'll be out hunting - building and running your own pipeline of net-new opportunities.
What You'll Do
- hunt for and open net-new logos across target accounts, with a strong focus on outbound prospecting - cold calls, email, LinkedIn and event
- run discovery calls and demos to understand prospects' needs and position Pelion's connectivity solutions.
- own new business deals through to close, working closely with Pre - Engineering, then handing over to Account Management and Customer Success.
- keep accurate pipeline and forecast data in the CRM.
- build product and market knowledge quickly, using our structured onboarding.
What We're Looking For
- 3+ Years of Account Executive level experience
- a genuine curiosity about technology; IoT or connectivity/telecoms exposure is a bonus, not a requirement.
- resilience and persistence
- strong verbal and written communication, and comfort presenting to prospects.
- based in the UK with the right to work in the UK.
Benefits
- Benefits:
- Remote or Hybrid
- 25 days holiday
- 7% employer pension contribution
- Access to comprehensive health and dental plans
- Health assessment
- Life Assurance
- Group Income Protection
