Sales Specialist - UK

Employment Type: Full-Time Location Type: Remote Salary: Not Specified

What do we do?

Paddle offers digital product companies a completely different approach to their payment infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we take away 100% of the pain of payment fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better.

We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 5000 software sellers in 245 territories globally.

As a key member of our Sales team, your primary focus will be to convert qualified leads into delighted Paddle customers. You'll engage directly with a diverse range of companies, from SaaS to AI to app companies to established enterprise businesses within these landscapes, as they explore their e-commerce provider needs. Your role is critical in helping us define, drive, and achieve our revenue targets, ultimately bringing us closer to our vision of making Paddle the go-to solution for SaaS businesses worldwide.

• Identify flaws in both Paddle's and our competitors' product during the sales process, helping to inform our sales techniques and product roadmap.
• Learn and refine new sales skills with regular Account Executive sales training sessions and continuously learn and develop yourself as a thought leader in the industry.
• Mentor new Account Executives as they ramp and learn the process.

We'd love to hear from you if you:

• Have extensive closing experience in a software or SaaS business, managing multi-threaded sales processes and enterprise deals.
• Have experience with consultative, value-based selling and a proven track record of exceeding your quota.
• Have experience selling highly technical products/services.
• Are great at liaising with prospective clients in person, over the phone and email.
• Have an entrepreneurial attitude which thrives when solving complex challenges and you want to be part of an exceptionally fast-growing company.

• Experience in the payments space or selling B2B SaaS.
• Prior experience at a growth stage Internet/software company.
• Experience selling to technical persons (CTO, Head of Product, (Technical) Founders).
• Familiarity with eCommerce providers such as Stripe, Braintree, PayPal, Cleverbridge and subscription based services such as Chargebee, Zuora, Recurly.
• Able to operate in an unstructured, self-starting environment.
