Responding to inbound interest and conducting discovery to understand the unique workflows and needs of prospective small businesses.
Owning a personal pipeline to progress opportunities from initial discovery through to subscription using tools like Salesforce.
Leading 1:1 or small-group onboarding sessions via webinar to help new users master key features like bank feeds, invoicing, and reporting.
Identifying and presenting ecosystem apps or additional services that align with a customer's specific business goals.
Where and how you can work
This is a hybrid role, 3 days in the our Manchester office.
Here are some of the things we are looking for
You bring a natural ability to simplify complex concepts, making them easy for small business owners to understand and act upon.
A background in onboarding or sales-generating roles where you have successfully managed a personal pipeline.
You are comfortable and energised by working in a high-activity environment driven by targets and data.
Your organisational skills allow you to independently prioritise a varied workload while maintaining high attention to detail.
You enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to share customer feedback and improve internal best practices.
