🚀 Account Executive - UK Market | Fintech Startup
đź“Ť Location: London, UK
đź’Ľ Type: Full-time
About Us
At Dost, we're not just another startup. We're a fintech company revolutionizing how businesses manage their financial processes with AI. Our platform automates invoices, delivery notes, and purchase orders—eliminating human error and transforming entire accounts payable departments.
What makes us different: We're already the trusted partner of over 200 companies, but we're still small enough that your voice is heard directly by our CEO, Adam.
🎯 The Opportunity
Tired of being just a number in a large corporation? Here you won't find 15 layers of managers or rigid processes that limit your creativity.
We're looking for an Account Executive who wants to be a financial consultant, not just a seller. Someone who enjoys understanding the real problems of CFOs and Financial Controllers, and who wants to build something big from the ground up.
This role is perfect if:
* You're motivated more by understanding and solving problems than hitting arbitrary activity metrics
* You want direct impact on product and strategy (your insights go straight to Adam, CEO and Alex, COO)
* You're looking for a place where you can grow organically based on your performance
* You like the startup environment but with the stability of a product that already works
* You thrive in building something new in an untapped market
🔧 Your Day-to-Day
* Own the full sales cycle: From qualified demo to closed deal
* Strategic pipeline building: Work inbound, outbound, and partner channels—no siloed approach
* Consultative discovery: Understand AP/AR processes deeply before presenting solutions
* Demo excellence: Deliver compelling product demonstrations that showcase real value
* Multi-stakeholder orchestration: Navigate complex deals involving Finance, IT, and Procurement
* Event representation: Attend networking events, conferences, and webinars to build brand awareness
* Market intelligence: Gather insights from the UK market to inform product and strategy
* Collaboration: Work closely with SDRs, pre-sales, and customer success teams
🧠What We're Looking For
Essential:
* Proven track record of closing B2B SaaS deals (2+ years in a closing role)
* Experience selling to finance teams (CFOs, Controllers, AP/AR managers)
* Consultative and solution-selling methodology (SPICED, MEDDIC, or similar)
* Ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles
* Strong communication skills with the ability to engage C-suite executives professionally
* Self-motivated with entrepreneurial drive—you take ownership and don't wait to be told what to do
* Ability to translate technical concepts into clear business value
* Comfortable with a startup pace: proactive, resilient, and adaptable
Highly Valued:
* Experience in fintech, AP automation, ERP integrations, or financial software
* Track record of selling into mid-market/enterprise accounts (ÂŁ200M+ revenue companies)
* Experience building pipeline in a new or developing market
* Background in Fintech or System integrators
* Network within the UK finance/fintech community
