Account Executive

About the role

Department: Sales / Revenue Reports t o: Sales Lead (US) Job title: Account Executive, US Market Salary : £50,000 - £55,000 base; OTE up to £105,000 Employment Type: Full-time Location: Remote, UK-based, with monthly London meetups About Gocertify Gocertify is a small, bootstrapped UK tech business helping brands run smarter, more targeted reward campaigns. We verify eligible audiences such as students, key workers and seniors, so brands can move away from broad discounting, protect brand value and offer the right rewards to the right customers. We are trusted by 500+ brands, including Samsung, Sainsbury's and FARFETCH. We work with 2m+ shoppers a year, drive £125m+ in retail sales, and have grown profitably and bootstrapped since 2020. We are a team of around 20 people, working remotely and meeting monthly in London. We care about the quality of what we build, the practicality of how it ships and the impact it has for brands, shoppers and our internal teams. Why this role exists Gocertify is growing quickly and we need extra support. The challenge is no longer just generating initial interest - it is having enough focused closing capacity to consistently turn that interest into signed business. We are hiring an Account Executive to add dedicated execution capacity. This role exists to help progress the opportunities being generated, add more pipeline and closing capacity into the funnel, and stop good business from slowing down because too much responsibility sits with one person. Working closely with the US Sales Lead, you will take qualified opportunities through discovery, demo, commercial discussion and close, while building some of your own pipeline too as a requirement. The goal is to turn more demand into signed customers, while feeding back practical insight on what is and is not converting. Role and scope This is a full-cycle sales role focused on converting high-potential opportunities into signed customers (initially focused on the US market, but other markets may follow). The core of the role is new business execution: running strong discovery, managing stakeholders well, keeping deals moving, and closing revenue consistently. While building self-sourced pipeline is required, a large focus is on progressing and closing qualified US opportunities with pace and discipline. Moving opportunities forward requires working closely with the US Sales Lead, SDR, Marketing, and Client Success to ensure new customers are handed over cleanly after close. This role perfectly suits someone who enjoys winning new business, staying close to the detail, and helping increase the amount of demand the pod can actually convert. What you will focus on 1.
