Salary: £150,000–£180,000 Base | Uncapped OTE | Meaningful Equity
Location: UK (London HQ / Hybrid)
Sector: Sales Recruitment | Tech Sales | SaaS | Sales Leadership
Selective Search — the UK’s premier sales recruitment and tech sales recruitment specialist — is exclusively retained to find an exceptional VP of Sales for one of the UK’s most exciting Series B SaaS businesses. This is a genuine opportunity to build and lead a world-class sales function from the ground up.
The Opportunity
Our client has achieved product-market fit, proven repeatable sales motion, and is now ready to scale. With a £30m Series B freshly closed and a board committed to aggressive UK and European expansion, they need a VP of Sales who can hire, coach, and drive a team of 15–25 quota-carrying salespeople while remaining personally close to the largest strategic deals.
Your Remit
- Own the full new business and expansion revenue number — £15m ARR target in Year 1, scaling to £40m by Year 3
- Build, hire and develop a high-performance team of AEs, SDRs and Sales Engineers across UK and Europe
- Design and implement scalable sales processes, territories, compensation plans and forecasting cadences
- Partner with the CEO and CRO on go-to-market strategy, pricing, and ICP refinement
- Establish strong cross-functional relationships with Marketing, Product and Customer Success
- Represent the business at board level and to key strategic investors and partners
The Ideal Candidate
- 5+ years leading high-performance tech sales teams in a SaaS or enterprise software environment
- Proven track record scaling a sales team from £5m to £30m+ ARR
- Hands-on people leader — known for developing talent, not just managing numbers
- Deep understanding of modern B2B SaaS sales motions: PLG, outbound, channel, and partner-led growth
- Exceptional at forecasting, pipeline management, and data-driven decision making
- Inspirational communicator — as compelling in a team meeting as in a board presentation
Why Now, Why This Role
The product is genuinely differentiated, the market is large and growing, and the board has committed the investment to win. This is a rare VP of Sales role where you can build your legacy — and be rewarded handsomely for doing so. Equity is meaningful at Series B.
