You’ll be part of a high-performance culture where you'll make a huge impact, rapidly progress your career, and truly enjoy your work.

About the role

We're seeking a highly driven and results-oriented Senior Account Executive to power Beam's expansion in Australia with our flagship platform, Beam Notes. Working in an elite team directly with some of the most senior salespeople at Beam, this pivotal role will be instrumental in driving our growth in Australia: securing landmark partnerships, establishing our impact, and directly contributing to our ambitious scaling journey. You will be at the forefront of bringing Beam Notes to key sectors, selling into state and local government, charities and NDIS providers.

Beam Notes is an AI-powered tool, already used and loved by over 100,000 frontline workers, designed to dramatically reduce the administrative burden on the people delivering care. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you will be responsible for the entire sales cycle, from initial outreach to closing deals, with real autonomy to test, refine and document the go-to-market motion as you go. You've done this before at a high-growth startup: built pipeline from nothing, closed new logos without a mature brand or playbook behind you, and left the sales motion better than you found it.

You'll be

Executing our go-to-market strategy: Taking ownership of your market and driving the sales motion within it, testing, validating and deepening product-market fit in Australia.

Building and owning your pipeline: Independently identifying, engaging and nurturing prospects to build a robust, probability-weighted pipeline against ambitious sales targets.

Closing deals: Presenting the value proposition of Beam Notes, negotiating terms and closing deals with key decision-makers, including multi-stakeholder deals with longer, more complex cycles.

Cultivating strong relationships: Building trust with stakeholders at all levels of prospect organisations, from frontline leads to executives.

Building the playbook: Systematically testing, learning and documenting the strategies, messaging and processes that let us repeat and scale success. Your insights become the foundation others sell from.

Providing market feedback: Relaying insight from the Australia market to the product and leadership teams to inform product development and market strategy.

Reporting and tracking progress: Maintaining accurate records in HubSpot to enable accurate forecasting and performance analysis.

You'll have

A track record of closing new logos at VC-backed startups: You've carried a quota and won net-new business in a high-growth, early-stage environment, where you generated your own pipeline and closed without the air cover of an established brand or a finished playbook.

Exceptional drive and resilience: You are exceptionally results-driven, persistent in the face of challenges, and possess a strong self-starter mentality.

An entrepreneurial builder's mindset: You excel in ambiguity. You see a blank slate as an opportunity, and you have a knack for creative prospecting and pipeline generation.

Proven relationship-building skills: A natural ability to build rapport and establish trust with individuals at all levels, up to and including senior executives.

Top-class communication skills: Outstanding written and verbal communication, capable of articulating complex ideas clearly and persuasively.

A strategic mindset: You think strategically about market opportunities and develop effective approaches to engage potential partners.

A mission-driven ethos: You're motivated by more than commission: you want your work to have a tangible, positive impact on society.
