Account Executive - Expression of Interest

We're always on the lookout for exceptional sales talent and we'd rather get to know great people before a role opens than start from scratch when it does. As a talent business, we practise what we preach, so we're opening applications for experienced Account Executives who may be interested in a future career at Instant Impact. You'll be selling Instant Impact's embedded recruitment solutions — essentially, the case for transforming how a business finds and hires talent. That means helping senior leaders reimagine their approach to recruitment and see the strategic value in doing it differently.

Our growth team partners with ambitious businesses to design embedded recruitment and RPO solutions that change how they hire. As we grow, we regularly add to the team and we want to build relationships with strong, consultative sellers early, particularly those who've sold services or solutions into HR, Talent or People leaders.

If that sounds like you and you'd be open to hearing about future opportunities, we'd love you to register your interest.

Key Responsibilities

- Proactively source, qualify, and close new partnership opportunities, focusing primarily on mid-market and growth-stage businesses.
- Manage the complete sales cycle, from initial outreach through to negotiation and closure.
- Build and nurture strong relationships with potential partnerships, including leveraging networks to make new connections.
- Work closely with the leadership team to refine sales strategies and contribute insights for continuous improvement.
- Collaborate with the wider growth function to ensure continuous improvement of the function.
- Represent our brand at industry events and client meetings, primarily within the London area.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

You've sold complex B2B solutions — ideally in HRIS, HR tech or professional services — but we care more about how you sell than where. Specifically:
- You generate your own pipeline alongside the support of an SDR. You're comfortable picking up the phone, working your network and finding your own way in.
- You can manage a multi-stakeholder deal over months without losing discipline or momentum.
- You're relationship-first. People buy from people at Instant Impact and you understand that.
- You have emotional resilience. Long cycles, complex decisions - you don't lose your discipline when things stall.
