Job Description
Spark has grown quickly over the last few years, and one of our founders has handled every deal. The opportunity in front of us is huge. We are looking for someone to realise it, running the conversations already coming in and starting the ones that are not.
For now this is a few jobs in one – finding new clients, winning them, and building on the foundational sales system we already have in place. You report directly to the founders, and you will shape how our commercial team grows.
- Own our new business numbers, with a CRM that tells the truth and a forecast we can plan against.
- Create opportunities – inbound first, then referrals, events, partners and targeted outreach in the UK and US.
- Win the work, from discovery and qualification to the proposal, a signed contract and a clean handover to delivery.
- Bring the ideas – how we reach people, how a pitch lands and what we should try next.
Required skills
- At least four years in a sales role, carrying your own number and selling now or very recently.
- Startup or scale-up experience, somewhere nobody handed you leads.
- An understanding of how agencies and brand teams work and make money, and the confidence to talk to their leaders.
- Confidence using AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini in your own work.
- Energy, openness and a habit of picking up the phone.
