About You

We want someone who views sales as selling for buyers, not selling to them.

This means we are looking for someone passionate about delivering incredible value to buyers by truly understanding them and their outcomes.

As we value progress, you will have a certain level of autonomy to achieve your targets, provided your methods do not conflict with our values.


The right person will take a highly collaborative approach and work closely with a team of internal stakeholders throughout the sales process.

You will take pride in researching your buyer and creating high-quality presentations.


You will be working in a complex sales environment, so you will embody a spirit of generosity, understanding that this is a team sport, and you will be comfortable working in a group to win deals.

To succeed in this role and in Acumen, you will be someone who enjoys continuous learning. You will take an analytical approach and use data to measure performance to direct your personal development. You will also be someone who views feedback as a gift and is therefore coachable. In short, we are seeking someone who truly embodies a growth mindset.

We offer hybrid working enabling you to flex between home and office. We stay connected through quarterly away days, monthly team events and meet ups.

We are committed to building the capabilities of our teams so invest significantly in this, offering opportunities for both personal and further professional development.
