Company mission
To enable companies around the world to realize the potential of hybrid work.
Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of experience in SaaS B2B sales, with a strong emphasis on outbound
- A proven track record of pipeline generation and closing both outbound and high-velocity inbound deals
- Experience selling to SMB and Mid-Market customers
- High ownership mentality - you thrive in environments where you build, iterate, and move fast
- A passion for outbound sales, business development, and winning competitive deals
- If our mission and this role resonate with you, we encourage you to apply, even if you don't meet every single requirement
What the job involves
- We’re hiring a high-impact Account Executive based in London to help drive deskbird’s expansion across the local market
- This is not a typical “plug-and-play” AE role. It’s a frontline growth position with genuine ownership, high visibility, and meaningful upside
- You’ll be joining a market where we already see solid traction, increasing brand awareness, and a healthy stream of inbound demand, giving you the opportunity to build on momentum rather than start from scratch
- As part of deskbird, a fast-growing workplace tech company backed by a $23M Series B and trusted by leading global brands, you’ll work alongside an ambitious, high-performing team with a proven product, a clear strategy, and significant room to scale further in the UK
- If you’re looking for a role where you can close deals, shape a growing market, and have a real impact on the business, this is it
- Own and scale a high-potential sales pipeline, fueled by both targeted outbound efforts and a strong stream of existing inbound leads
- Run the full sales cycle end to end, from prospecting and discovery to negotiation and close, across SMB, Mid-Market, and Enterprise accounts
- Capitalize on existing UK traction, accelerating deals in a market where interest and demand are already proven
- Develop a deep understanding of customer pain points and position deskbird as the go-to solution for modern, hybrid workplaces
- Build trusted relationships with senior decision-makers and influence buying decisions at scale
- Consistently exceed revenue targets by executing smart, data-driven outbound and account strategies
- Work closely with leadership to help build and scale a world-class U.K go-to-market engine. Reporting directly to the Founder and CEO
- You will play a key part in shaping our new office hub and building our presence in London. You should therefore be comfortable working from the office 3-4 times per week to drive the market growth and lead the UK expansion
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Swiss-based Deskbird is on route to become Europe’s leading workplace management platform that allows companies to create ordered but flexible environments.
The company has adopted a unique approach to workplace management, offering the first workplace software built around users instead of buildings. Along with standard functionalities like booking resources, the tool that has brought the company unique success is the ability, via mobile app, to identify who of their employees are in the office and thereby schedule meetings accordingly.
Following 2025 funding, the company will invest capital into extending reach across European markets, with a particular focus on expanding its presence in the UK. And it's 10 year plan is to be to workforce management what Salesforce is to CRM. A lofty goal, but the company is certainly setting itself up to achieve this in due time.
