At Beam, we’re building AI that serves society.
We're a global team of ambitious, hardworking problem solvers, applying fast-moving startup energy to work that makes the world a better place. If you want to apply your talent to the biggest problems society faces, Beam is the place for you.
You’ll be part of a high-performance culture where you'll make a huge impact, rapidly progress your career, and truly enjoy your work.
Over 100,000 frontline workers already use Beam to take notes, provide live interpretation and handle phone calls, so they can focus on the people who need them most. This is just the beginning.
This is the step up you've been working towards: your first full 360 sales role, at one of the UK's fastest growing startups, at the exact moment our business is scaling fast globally. If you've been generating pipeline for someone else to close, or supporting accounts without owning the number, this is your chance to run the whole cycle yourself.
You'll work in a high-performance sales team, closing your own deals end to end for a product that frontline workers genuinely love. Every deal you close makes a real impact on people's lives - empowering frontline workers to give people the support they need, when and how they need it. Every quarter, you'll be measurably better at this job than the last.
Owning and closing your own deals: Running the full sales cycle end to end: prospecting, discovery, demo, proposal, negotiation and signature. This is a closing role with its own revenue target, not a hand-off role.
Building your pipeline: Independently researching prospects, initiating contact, and maintaining a high volume of quality discovery meetings to feed a pipeline you convert yourself.
Running deep discovery: Leading discovery sessions that move beyond surface-level features to uncover real operational pain, and turning that pain into a business case.
Engaging multi-stakeholder environments: Building trust with a diverse range of stakeholders, from frontline practitioners to service leaders, and driving them to a decision.
Collaborating on solutions: Working hand-in-hand with our Product and Customer Success teams to design impactful trials and proposals that ensure long-term value.
Refining the playbook: Bringing fresh insights from your daily conversations to help us sharpen our messaging and improve our outreach strategy.
Reporting and tracking progress: Maintaining accurate records in HubSpot to enable reliable forecasting and performance analysis.
Commercial experience: 1-2 years in B2B sales/in a BDR role; you may be stepping up from a BDR/SDR or junior closing role, and you're ready to carry your own number.
Exceptional drive and resilience: You are results-driven, persistent in the face of challenges, and possess a strong self-starter mentality.
Natural relationship-building skills: You build trust and rapport quickly, and you listen more than you speak.
A fast learner who loves feedback: You won’t know everything on day one and that’s fine. What matters is that you pick things up quickly, ask for input early and get visibly better every month.
Curiosity and structure: You ask sharp questions and enjoy problem-solving. You can take a complex problem and break it down into clear, actionable steps.
Top-class communication skills: You are clear, compelling and persuasive, whether writing a follow-up email or presenting to a room of stakeholders.
A mission-driven mindset: You are fundamentally motivated by doing work that delivers tangible, positive real-world impact.
