About the Company
Our client is a fast‑growing B2B marketplace business headquartered in London, connecting enterprise buyers with specialist service providers across the UK and Europe. Backed by a leading growth equity fund, they have reached £20m ARR and are now building the commercial infrastructure to scale to £100m. The founding team comes from Bain, Deliveroo and Stripe, and the business is entering its most ambitious phase of growth to date.
The Role
As Head of Commercial, you will own the end‑to‑end revenue function — spanning enterprise sales, account management and commercial partnerships. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will set strategy, build the team and personally lead the largest deals. This is a rare opportunity to define the commercial playbook of a category‑defining business at a pivotal moment.

* Lead and grow a commercial team of account executives, business development managers and partnerships leads.
* Own the full sales cycle for strategic accounts – from first meeting through to close and expansion.
* Build scalable commercial processes, including CRM discipline, pipeline management and forecasting frameworks.
* Partner with Marketing, Product and Operations to ensure commercial feedback shapes the product roadmap and customer experience.
What We're Looking For
* 8–12 years of experience in commercial, sales or business development roles, with at least 3 years in a senior leadership capacity.
* Proven track record of building and scaling revenue teams in a high‑growth B2B environment.
* Strong enterprise sales instincts – able to navigate complex buying processes, multiple stakeholders and long deal cycles.
* Strategic thinker who can also roll up their sleeves and close deals personally when needed.
* Experience in marketplace, SaaS or platform businesses is a strong advantage.
Compensation & Benefits
* Base salary of £120,000 – £150,000, depending on experience.
* Uncapped performance bonus tied to revenue targets.
* Meaningful equity stake in a high‑growth business.
* Private health cover, enhanced pension and flexible hybrid working from London.
