1What this role really is

This isn't your average sales gig. As a Senior Account Executive focusing on Enterprise clients, you'll be the architect of complex, multi-million-pound deals that often take months, sometimes over a year, to close. You're not just selling a product; you're solving intricate business problems for some of the biggest companies out there. This role is about deep strategic engagement, building lasting relationships with C-level executives, and navigating tricky internal politics both within our organisation and the client's. It's challenging, yes, but the wins are incredibly rewarding and genuinely impactful.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

New Business Revenue (Quota Attainment)
The total value of new contracts signed within your assigned territory.
Target · 95-105% of your annual quota (typically £500K - £1M+ ACV)

Closing a £750K ACV deal with a new enterprise logo in Q2, contributing significantly to your £1M annual target.

Average Contract Value (ACV)
The average annual value of the deals you're closing.

Multi-Year Deal Percentage
The proportion of your new bookings that are signed as 2 or 3-year contracts.
Target · >40% of new bookings are multi-year contracts

Securing a 3-year, £600K total contract value deal, which counts as 100% of a multi-year booking for that specific deal.

Strategic Account Penetration

Target · Land 2 new logos from target account list per year

Successfully closing deals with two of the top five strategic accounts identified for your territory in the annual planning cycle.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Closing Complex, High-Value Deals

You get a real buzz from navigating intricate client organisations, understanding their politics, and orchestrating a multi-stakeholder sale to a successful close. The bigger the challenge, the more satisfying the win.

Spending months building relationships, understanding a client's specific regulatory challenges, and finally getting that £500K, 3-year contract signed feels like winning the league.

Strategic Impact & Problem Solving

You're driven by the opportunity to genuinely solve significant business problems for large companies, seeing your solution make a tangible difference to their operations or bottom line. You enjoy being a strategic partner, not just a salesperson.

Working with a client to model how our solution will save them £1.2M in operational costs over three years, and then seeing that projected saving become a reality.

Continuous Learning & Growth

You're always keen to learn about new industries, business models, and sales methodologies. The complexity of enterprise sales means there's always something new to master, and you thrive on that intellectual challenge.

Diving deep into a new client's industry (e.g., FinTech or Pharma) to understand their unique challenges and tailor your pitch perfectly, becoming an expert in their world.

What frustrates people
  • The 'No Decision' Loss: Spending 9-12 months on a deal only for the customer to stick with the status quo. It's often more frustrating than losing to a competitor.
  • Internal Roadblocks: Your own Legal or Finance department being more difficult to negotiate with than the customer, potentially jeopardising a quarter-end deal over a minor clause.
  • Champion Goes Dark: Your key contact, who was driving the deal, suddenly leaves the company or stops responding, forcing you to essentially start over.
  • Re-org Hell: The target company undergoes a major reorganisation mid-deal, changing all the stakeholders, priorities, and budgets you spent months mapping out.
  • Procurement Grinding: Winning the business and technical decision, only to have procurement try to commoditise your solution and demand a 30% discount as their 'standard practice'—even when it's clearly not applicable.
  • CRM Admin Overload: The constant pressure to document every single interaction in Salesforce, sometimes feeling more like a data entry clerk than a sales professional.
What this role does not give you
  • High-volume, transactional sales with short cycles and instant gratification.
  • A role where you only interact with a single point of contact at a client.
  • A predictable, unchanging work routine; expect constant shifts and new challenges.
  • A path that avoids detailed administrative tasks, especially CRM updates and forecasting.

6Who you work with

This role directly drives a significant portion of our enterprise revenue. You're not just closing deals; you're building strategic partnerships that define our market presence and future growth. Your ability to secure large, multi-year contracts directly influences our financial stability and allows us to invest further in product development and market expansion. Frankly, you're a major contributor to the company's overall success.

Inside the business
  • Sales Operations (for forecasting and process)
  • Product Management (for solution feedback and roadmap alignment)
  • Legal Team (for contract negotiations and redlines)
  • Finance Team (for pricing, approvals, and ROI modelling support)
  • Customer Success (for smooth handovers and client retention)
Outside the business
  • C-level Executives (CEO, CFO, CIO, CMO)
  • Procurement and Sourcing Teams
  • Business Unit Heads and Department Leaders
  • IT and Technical Stakeholders
  • Legal Counsel (client-side)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A proven track record of consistently hitting or exceeding sales quotas in a full-cycle sales role, preferably within a B2B SaaS or complex solution environment.
  • Demonstrable experience managing and closing deals with an average contract value of at least £100K.
  • Solid understanding and practical application of at least two recognised sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDPICC, Challenger Sale, Sandler).
  • Experience navigating complex organisations with multiple stakeholders and decision-makers.
  • Strong presentation skills, with experience presenting to senior leadership or C-level executives.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced CRM Analytics & Forecasting

As deal complexity increases, so does the need for precise forecasting and pipeline management. Relying on gut feel won't cut it. You'll need to use CRM data more scientifically.

Weighted Pipeline Analysis · Historical Performance Trend Analysis · Custom Report & Dashboard Creation · Data Integrity & Governance

  • This month: Take a deeper dive into Salesforce reporting. Play around with custom report types and filters to extract more granular insights from your pipeline.
  • Next quarter: Work with Sales Operations to understand the core metrics they use for forecasting and how your data input impacts those models. Ask 'why' they do things a certain way.
  • Within 6 months: Be able to present a data-backed forecast to your manager, justifying your numbers with historical trends and pipeline health metrics, not just anecdotes.
  • Within 12 months: Proactively identify areas where CRM data quality could be improved and propose solutions or best practices to the team.

Quick win: Start reviewing your own Salesforce reports weekly. Look for anomalies or trends you might have missed. It's a simple habit that builds data literacy.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attend industry webinars and conferences relevant to your target verticals to stay informed on market trends and client challenges.
  • Participate in advanced sales training workshops focused on negotiation, executive presence, or strategic account planning.
  • Read books and articles on sales psychology, business strategy, and leadership to continuously sharpen your commercial acumen.
  • Seek out mentorship from senior leaders within our organisation or external sales veterans.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Senior Account Executive, Enterprise is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, enterprise sales is tough. It's long hours, deep research, and endless follow-ups. But what if you could cut out a chunk of that busywork? We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about giving you a serious edge.

Our team is already seeing massive gains by using AI to automate the tedious, time-consuming parts of the sales process. This means you can spend more time doing what you do best: building relationships, understanding client needs, and closing those big deals. Here's a glimpse of how AI can transform your day-to-day:

Automated Prospecting Assistant

Imagine AI tools drafting highly personalised outreach emails for you, referencing specific prospect pain points directly from their LinkedIn profile or recent company news. No more staring at a blank screen trying to craft the perfect opener.

Deal Intelligence Co-Pilot

Use conversation intelligence (like Gong) to automatically flag deal risks, identify unanswered customer questions, or surface competitor mentions from hours of call recordings. You'll get instant insights without having to re-listen to everything.

Pre-Call Research Engine

Before a major discovery call, an AI agent can summarise a target company's latest 10-K report, earnings call transcript, and recent press releases into a concise, one-page briefing document. You'll walk in feeling like an industry expert, every time.

Proposal & Summary Generator

After a client meeting, use AI to transcribe the conversation, generate a summary of key discussion points, and even draft a follow-up email with clearly defined action items and next steps. Cut down on admin and get back to selling.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Senior Account Executive, Enterprise, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 1 national skill standard. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Senior Account Executive, Enterprise: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.
