Account Executive, SMB

Account Executive, SMB

We believe that businesses of all sizes deserve better financial and payment products and services. Traditionally, businesses of all sizes are let down by slow applications, protracted onboarding, opaque pricing, restrictive contracts and forced to use outdated solutions that no longer meet the innovative requirements of modern business.

We started our journey four years ago, and have since helped tens of thousands of Australian businesses reduce the complexity and time taken to take and make payments, manage complex fleets of payment hardware, store and save money and lead the conversation in business-to-business fintech. We're now taking our next steps in expanding our industry and world leading capabilities into the United Kingdom.

Our company is backed by leading global VCs, and brings together experienced payment and tech industry professionals who are aiming to redefine business banking and the way businesses get paid by their customers.

If you are passionate, curious, hungry and seeking an opportunity to make your mark on Fintech in the United Kingdom, with the strength of a global team behind you - we'd love to talk to you. This is a unique opportunity to shape, direct and build better financial services for all UK businesses.

Zeller is searching for the founding members of our UK-based sales team. As an Account Executive, you'll be challenged to bring a hands-on approach, expert commercial acumen, self-starter experience, and competitive fire to help build a high-performing team culture.

We believe that building a long-lasting relationship is Zeller's key to success. You'll do this by engaging with merchants in a relevant and authentic way. Our merchants come in all shapes and sizes; from butchers and baristas, bar owners and beauticians, retailers and restaurateurs, and more. Every day will be different, and you'll thrive on going above-and-beyond to support your merchants, advocate for their needs, and help them grow.

This position is hands-on; you'll be experienced selling face-to-face (field sales / door-to-door), while performing cold outreach to build pipeline. Your discovery process involves deeply understanding their requirements, in order to position Zeller as the best option to supercharge their payments and cash flow.

This role is ideal for an energetic, highly motivated Account Executive who is looking to make an immediate impact on Zeller's entry into the UK. You're a natural born problem solver who is motivated by developing processes while executing in parallel. We're excited to meet people ready to join us and help establish Zeller as one of the UK's most executing new B2B fintechs.

• Demonstrable experience in prospecting, identifying target merchants, evaluating interest, recognising decision-making processes, qualifying, creating value-based demonstrations, selling complex solutions, writing proposals, objection handling and negotiating
• A genuine curiosity and passion about people and their business that will enable you to inspire and share their stories with others
• Self motivated with the ability to work independently or at a distance from your team
