Role Description Your job is to change the pipeline of warm accounts that haven't been properly sold to yet. This role exists because the company has enough traction to justify a dedicated sales hire. - Own a portfolio of existing accounts and drive expansion — upsell, cross-sell, seat rollouts across the wider firm. - Identify under-utilised accounts (firms with one or two logins in a 20+ person practice) and convert them to firm-wide rollouts. - Navigate buying conversations with accounting firm Partners and Directors — CPD compliance is the hook, individual login value is the close. - Work with the Head of Growth to align messaging from top-of-funnel through to close. - Contribute to shaping the expansion playbook alongside the sales consultant — this isn't a follow-the-script role. - Build enough product and industry fluency to credibly discuss tax content, CPD obligations, and firm workflows with senior accountants. Qualifications - You don't need to have sold tax software before; experience in a similar role is essential. - You've been employee one, two, or three in a sales team. - You understand land and expand as a motion you've actually run. - You can hold your own in a conversation with a Partner or Director of an accounting firm. - You're self-managing and responsible for your own visibility. - You're comfortable with healthy conflict and can push back without making it political. - Experience selling into accounting, bookkeeping, or professional services is useful but not a dealbreaker. Requirements - Ability to operate without infrastructure and thrive in an ambiguous environment. - Strong questioning skills to build credibility quickly. - Sales fundamentals and startup instincts are essential. Benefits - $120K base + super (negotiable for the right person) — $180–200K OTE. - 12 months of ongoing training and support, including advanced training programs. - Access to communities for professional growth, provided by Pointer.
