Role
Who you are
- We’re building the highest-performing sales team at Sona, where careers accelerate tenfold. To thrive here, you’ll need:
- Experience that sets you up for success:
- Proven experience selling complex technology products
- At least 1 year in a closing sales role, ideally in a high-growth B2B environment
- A track record of smashing quotas and exceeding targets
- A bias for action: you’re a driver, not a passenger
- A Startup Mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, adaptable to change, and excited to build something great from the ground up
- But more importantly, we care about who you are. If these traits describe you to a tee, you’ll thrive at Sona:
- Growth mindset – You push yourself to improve every day
- Unmatched work ethic and drive – You have an insatiable need to achieve
- Competitive, but collaborative – You want to win, but not at the expense of your team
- Grit and optimism – You embrace challenges with resilience and a solutions mindset
- You might not tick every box in the experience section but if you're hungry, driven, and thrive in high-growth environments, we want to hear from you. Maybe you’re:
- An ex-founder looking for a high growth startup where you can apply your entrepreneurial skills without the financial risk
- A tech sales rep who finds your current role too slow, predictable, or easy
- A Management Consultant who’s led commercial growth projects and now wants to own revenue targets directly
What the job involves
- As an Account Executive at Sona, you'll own the full sales lifecycle for mid-to-enterprise sized customers in our core frontline sectors (Social Care or Hospitality), working closely with our founders, VP Sales, and a high-performing marketing team
- We’re not just hiring an AE, we’re looking for future leaders who thrive in an environment where high expectations and high rewards go hand in hand
- Drive revenue growth within mid-enterprise segments in your frontline sectors (Social Care or Hospitality)
- Own the full sales cycle from strategic prospecting to closing deals, ensuring accurate forecasting and pipeline management
- Build deep relationships with key decision-makers and stakeholders in target accounts, positioning Sona as a must-have solution
- Be the face of Sona at industry events and conferences, driving pipeline activity and elevating our brand
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Customer, and Product teams to refine campaigns, enhance onboarding, and provide market insights that shape our product roadmap
Salary benchmarks
Our take
80% of people don’t work at desks, but the technology for deskless workers only attracts 1% of all enterprise software investment. Consequently, little software has been designed to benefit the frontline. Sona is a workforce technology startup setting out to help solve this issue, building an all-in-one platform specially designed to empower frontline workers and help their employers retain staff and operate more efficiently.
By using its app, users can view and claim shifts, communicate with their colleagues, and book holidays. Moreover, Sona has additional modules for HR, Payroll, and Engagement, so customers can manage all of their people operations in one place, or integrate with their existing tools.
Sona is an early-stage startup, yet already counts big names across Social Care, Hospitality, and the Charities sector who have combined to book millions of shifts on the Sona platform.
