Weekly office requirement: Mon/Tues/Thurs weekly
At GWI, we’re always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an
impact. We think big to make an impact, we’re not afraid to ask why, and we
always show respect. Those values are what got us where we are today, and
they’re a big part of what we look for in our people.
While we’re not actively hiring for this role right now, we’re keen to connect
with Senior Account Executives for future opportunities at GWI. If you’re
interested in working with us but haven’t quite spotted the perfect role yet,
we’d love you to join our proactive talent community. By submitting your
application and answering a few curated questions, you’ll be among the first we
reach out to when the right opportunity arises that aligns with your profile.
Who knows, it could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.
SOUNDS GREAT, WHAT WILL I BE DOING? 🤔
As our Account Executive you’ll:
be responsible for driving new business revenue and growth across your assigned
accounts or territory, either Enterprise, Majors or mid-market accounts.
A few things you’ll be responsible for:
👉 Develop and execute an account or territory plan that builds a strong
pipeline and enables you to meet and exceed your quarterly and annual sales
quota.
👉 Identify, map and go high-and-wide within organizations to understand the
full scope of each opportunity.
👉 Lead the entire sales cycle from initial opportunity creation through to
close.
👉 Establish and build credibility with prospects from the outset by developing
a deep understanding of their business challenges and presenting needs-based
solutions that meet their objectives.
👉 Work cross-functionally with internal teams to drive value across live
opportunities and deliver strong commercial outcomes.
👉 Take ownership of your pipeline, executing outbound prospecting activity
alongside inbound opportunities.
👉 Track all sales activity, manage opportunities, and accurately forecast
revenue using Salesforce.
👉 Build and develop relationships with senior stakeholders, including C-level
executives.
👉 Stay informed on industry trends, the competitive landscape, and emerging
technologies to inform sales strategy and maintain a competitive edge.
It’s also fun; shaking things up is what working for GWI is all about. You’ll
need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a
high-tempo environment.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING WITH ME? 🧳
You’ll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You
don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you’re
willing to learn. Here’s what the team will be looking for in you:
👉 Experience in SaaS or Subscription/licensing sales, especially closing
business in large and complex corporate accounts.
👉 Ability to apply strategic thinking and sales skills to align technology
solutions with complex, multi-stakeholder business problems.
👉 Follow MEDD(P)ICC sales methodology to qualify opportunities and progress
deals through the pipeline.
👉 Experience using Salesforce to manage business (sales-cycle, pipeline,
forecasting, etc.).
👉 Excellent communication skills with the ability to communicate complex ideas
clearly and succinctly
👉 You are a hunter who sees the value of outbound prospecting to grow your own
sales pipeline, in addition to inbound leads
👉 Ability to reach and develop relationships with C-level executives
👉 Have experience working in a start/scale-up environment
Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact),
ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level,
all the time). Those are our values, and they’re a big part of what we’re
looking for in you.

WHO WE ARE
GWI was founded with the knowledge that understanding your audience is really
important for business. When you know who you’re speaking to and why, you can
create content and campaigns that stand out to the people that matter.
Through our global online survey, we gather data on the behaviour and
perceptions of consumers across the world. This provides businesses with deep,
actionable insights on their audience, revealed from data they trust.
It’s been going well, too. Since launching in 2009, we’ve become one of the UK’s
fastest growing target audience companies. We’re not about to stop growing any
time soon. As a business, we’re on a mission to re-engineer data-driven
marketing, and we’re on the lookout for talented people to join us.
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
Imagine if our data came from just one kind of person. We’d get a very nuanced
view of the world. And we definitely wouldn’t have got off the ground as a
business.
Although things certainly aren’t perfect, we live in a society where differences
are increasingly celebrated – so we’d expect nothing else from our teams. In
fact, the GWI office is as diverse as our global data, it’s really important to
us that it stays that way. This is a place to feel at home, express yourself
freely and make your mark.
