Company mission
To connect the world's parts, making it easy for repairers to find and buy the right parts.
Role
Who you are
- We are searching for a driven hunter with a proven track record to lead Partly's expansion across the UK independent repairer market
- Collision / parts domain knowledge is preferred but not required — we value sharp thinkers who learn fast
- SaaS DNA: 2-4+ years experience as a top-performing SDR or AE in a B2B SaaS environment. You understand how software sales work
- Tech savvy: You know your way around a CRM (HubSpot preferred) and modern prospecting tools (Apollo, Surfe, etc.). You use data to work smarter, not just harder
- Resilient & proactive: You are prepared to get on the road or the phone. You can handle objections and turn them into conversations about value and ROI
- Process driven: You can manage a high-velocity pipeline without dropping detail; but will suggest improvements when you see them
- Credible communicator: Confident with senior operators; excellent emails/proposals; calm, direct objection handling (especially “are you a marketplace?”)
- Technically curious: Able to learn repairer workflows and systems (BMS, invoicing etc) and translate them into practical implementation steps
- Growth mindset: You are eager to learn. You record your calls (Loom/Gong), listen to feedback, and actively try to get 1% better every day
- Ownership: Proactive, resourceful, and comfortable being accountable for outcomes
- Please note: if you don't have all the skills/experience listed above but believe you could be outstanding in this role, please still consider applying. Many folks, especially those from underrepresented or marginalised groups, often count themselves out. Please allow us to learn more about you and why you're exceptional!
What the job involves
- This is an opportunity to positively disrupt an industry and pioneer the way independent repairers source and procure parts — bringing a fragmented, outdated process into the modern era
- You will own your territory end-to-end, taking repairers from cold to active on the Partly platform, fast
- Reporting to the Repairer Commercial Lead, you will be the engine behind our UK growth — hunting, qualifying, demoing, and closing with the support of best-in-class sales technology
- You will be working closely with a passionate commercial team and backed by an exceptional group of people at Partly HQ, helping shape the playbook as you go — testing messaging, running high-volume outreach, and proving out a sales model built to scale
- Full-cycle sales: You own the process from prospecting to close. You will source leads, run discovery calls, demo the platform, and get contracts signed
- Own your territory: You will manage a specific UK region, building relationships with repairers and leveraging local supplier networks to get your foot in the door
- Translate tech to value: You will simplify the technical aspects of Partly. You won't just demo software; you will explain how it saves them hours a week and fixes their procurement headaches
- Consultative selling: You advise repairers with their procurement processes and handle tough questions and objections with confidence, using infrastructure-first messaging (repairer-owned platforms; your pricing, your relationships, your control)
- High-velocity hunting: Execute a consistent volume of outbound activity (calls, emails, LinkedIn) to generate your own pipeline. You aren’t afraid of the phone
- Work as a pod: Collaborate with RevOps (deal desk/dashboards) and Onboarding to ensure clean handoffs and time-to-live within target
- Pipeline discipline: Maintain rigorous hygiene and forecasting in CRM; communicate risks early; and keep a tight next-step cadence across 15–25 active opportunities
- Feedback loops: Feed insights back to Product, Engineering and GTM (patterns in objections, integration needs, invoicing quirks) to improve win rates and time-to-launch
Our take
Partly is a fast-growing tech company quietly tackling one of the biggest challenges in the automotive industry — finding the right auto parts. In a world where nearly everything is digital and automated, the parts industry has been lacking innovation. Partly is changing that by building the AI-powered infrastructure that connects the global auto parts supply chain.
Think of it like this: what Visa does for financial transactions, Partly does for auto parts. It doesn't sell parts but automates the complex, behind-the-scenes processes, ensuring that buying and selling parts is seamless and near error-free. With a massive database of over 50 million vehicle parts, it offers modular tools, allowing businesses to build their own systems without starting from scratch.
In 2024, the company was named New Zealand's fastest-growing startup and has expanded to the US and UK. CEO Levi Fawcett took home top honours at the New Zealand Leadership Awards as well. It's no surprise either, with the company raising the country's largest-ever Series A ($36M) and continuing to scale at pace. With big-name investors, a growing team, and a product solving a real global problem, Partly is very much on its way to becoming a true industry giant.

Company benefits
- High trust, low process and no bureaucracy: We hire exceptional people whose judgment we trust. This means we proactively remove any process or rules that slow us down (for example, our expense policy is simply the “red face test”).

- Focus Days: Two days per week, with zero meetings, dedicated solely to uninterrupted deep work.
- Take time when you need it: We don’t ask questions or care if people have a negative leave balance. We work extremely hard and trust our team to take the time they need to recharge.
- Learn from the best: Whether it’s during a ‘Lunch n Learn’ or hearing from a unicorn CEO at a Fireside chat, you’ll have the opportunity to constantly learn from the world’s best.
