- Owning the full sales cycle: Managing the entire process from initial discovery to contract signature, taking ownership of your pipeline and revenue targets
- Mastering your craft: Using a MEDDPICC-informed approach to rigorously qualify opportunities, create accurate forecasts, and run deep discovery sessions that uncover real customer needs
- Navigating complex deals: Engaging a diverse range of stakeholders, including operational, clinical, digital, and financial buyers, and guiding them through a structured evaluation process
- Designing transformative solutions: Working hand-in-hand with our Delivery and Customer Success teams to co-design impactful trials and proposals that deliver on our promises
- Levelling up our sales playbook: Bringing your insights from the field to constantly refine and improve our team's messaging, strategy, and processes

Our take
Trusted by over 100 government partners, Beam is a social enterprise that brings AI to welfare services. Enabled by tech and AI, their caseworkers have supported thousands of underserved people into homes and jobs, whilst their software has slashed admin for thousands of frontline workers across the UK.
Beam is funded by established names in the UK tech scene, the world's top impact funds and the Mayor of London. Founder and CEO, Alex Stephany, brings a track record from his previous startup backed by Index Ventures and was even named Purpose Entrepreneur of the Year 2024. The rest of Beam's senior team has their own wealth of experience from a variety of leading startups, tech, and social impact businesses like Arm, Multiverse, and GoCardless.
Beam has also won multiple awards, including a Queen's Award - one of the UK's most prestigious business awards - and has twice been voted as one of the top 100 places to work in the UK. Their work has been covered widely in the media, with features from the BBC, The Times, FT, Forbes and The Independent.
AI has the potential to be a game changer for social workers and in a recent pilot, Beam's AI tool, Magic Notes, reduced the time spend on administrative tasks by over 60% and cut assessment write-ups from four hours to just 90 minutes. As councils explore next steps, Beam's technology is already redefining how frontline workers deliver care, so they can spend more time on what matters most.
