About Brightpearl

Brightpearl exists to automate retail. We help omnichannel businesses selling finished goods, trading $2.5m-$50m a year. Over 1,200 businesses in 26 countries use our platform. We manage over 10m transactions and $2b of business a year. Brightpearl is a cloud platform, built on AWS with 99.9% uptime, and is deployed twice as fast as the competition. We are increasing our investment in the US market, our biggest market opportunity (over $1b TAM), and we’re hiring additional sales and go-to-market capacity to help us address that opportunity. Brightpearl is headquartered in Bristol, UK, with offices in San Francisco and now our new US headquarters in Austin, Texas.

About the Account Executive role

The Account Executive is responsible for all new business, and upsell to existing customers, within a defined Territory. The role aligns to the customer journey – from their initial interest, through qualification, evaluation, solution scoping, negotiation, to closing. Successful customer journeys result in delighted customers who grow using Brightpearl, so you will also be responsible for upsell. You will manage the entire sales cycle and close new business from inbound and outbound generated leads. This includes managing an ecosystem of partners within the Territory, who are a key source of high quality leads. You will carry an individual sales quota with an expectation to meet and exceed this consistently, supported by an excellent team at Brightpearl.

You’ll help lead a geographically-defined Territory Team, working closely with a Business Development Represenatative (whose main role is to provide you with Sales Qualified Leads), Pre-Sales and Implementation Consultants (professional services who scope and implement our solution), the Customer Success Manager (who looks after our existing customers), and Marketing. This model is a crucial source of demand generation - happy customers advocate Brightpearl and help drive demand. You will report into the Regional Sales Director.

Account Executive Key Attributes

The successful candidate will be strongly self-motivated and outcome-driven, with a proven track record of managing and closing a pipeline of opportunities, and forecasting accurately. Excellent qualification, prioritization, organization and focus are essential in this role.

You will be extremely effective at building rapport over the phone with a range of senior decision makers. Your sales approach will ensure the customer is put first and you will be relentless in understanding the needs, pain points and desired outcomes of our prospects. You will be comfortable adopting a solution selling approach and be effective at communicating the value that Brightpearl’s platform and expertise brings to each customer's business. You must be technically proficient in understanding and demonstrating the platform to customers, and in public speaking (for example, at prospect events and industry meet-ups).
