Enterprise Account Executive (New Business)

Location: London (hybrid, 3 days per week in office)
Team: Enterprise Sales, EMEA
Reports to: Head of Enterprise Sales, EMEA
Position type: Individual contributor, quota carrying

Similarweb makes the digital world measurable: Which markets are growing? Where is demand moving? How do consumers find, engage with and ultimately choose brands?

Global brands including Google, eBay and Adidas use our data to make decisions they would otherwise make on instinct. We are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and recently surpassed $300 million in annual recurring revenue, with more than 470 customers now investing over $100,000 a year with us.

Enterprise is where the next phase of that growth in EMEA comes from, and we are adding an Enterprise Account Executive in London to help deliver it.

Why this role exists

Enterprise new business is our strategic priority in EMEA, and this team is how we win it. We sell directly into the market rather than managing existing accounts. That approach has been built and proven across the region, and the next phase is growing the team behind it.

The timing helps. How people discover and choose brands is changing faster than at any point since search became the default, and most enterprises still have no reliable way to measure it. That is the conversation you open with executives.

The role

You will own a named list of enterprise accounts end to end, in our focus industries of Retail, CPG, Financial Services, Utilities, Telco and Travel. Your market is Tier 1 EMEA: the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the Nordics.

Beyond your named list, inbound demand and Sales Development activity generate qualified conversations across the wider market, and those come to you.

You will typically sell across marketing, strategy, insights and e-commerce. Our strongest engagements are the ones that reach Director or C-level, where the use case is tied to a decision the business is already trying to make. You will carry an annual quota with quarterly milestones.

What you will be doing

• Meeting quarterly and annual quota by generating revenue from your named accounts and from inbound and Sales Development demand
• Opening accounts from cold by prospecting with our own data, and qualifying inbound demand properly
• Running the full cycle: prospecting, discovery, value case, commercial negotiation and close
• Winning against the incumbent, a competitive bid, or the option to do nothing, by making the clearer commercial case
• Finding the right champion inside the account, and equipping them to carry the business case when you are not in the room
• Maintaining an accurate forecast the business can rely on

What we are looking for

• Five or more years closing consultative, multi-stakeholder enterprise deals in high value SaaS, data or insight sales, with consistent over-achievement against target
• Credibility at executive level, making a commercial argument rather than delivering a product demo
• A history of building accounts from cold and turning them into revenue
• Strong discovery. You open with questions that surface what is genuinely at stake
• Experience selling data or insight against a broad set of use cases rather than a single point solution
• Comfort with the procurement, legal and security review that comes with a contract of that size
• Creativity in how you approach an account, and the confidence to test a half-formed idea on the team before you take it to a customer
• Curiosity about where digital is going, including AI-driven discovery and changing search behaviour

Five years is a guide rather than a threshold. We are more interested in how you sell and what you have closed than in time served.

The team you are joining

We value drive, ambition and results. The team is led by a former individual contributor who has carried this number and hit it. We use a blend of sales methodologies rather than one, and we measure outcomes, not activity.

We talk about our deals openly, including the ones still in flight. That means bringing problems to the team early and sharing what worked and what didn't. It takes risk out of the pipeline and it sharpens how everyone sells.

You will not be selling alone. Marketing, Sales Development, Solution Engineering, Advisory Services and a wide range of internal support sit behind you to get deals across the line. 

Our sales stack includes Salesforce, SalesLoft, ZoomInfo, Chorus and Similarweb.
