Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) at Vestd
At Vestd, we prioritise equality, diversity, and inclusion, so we write about it here rather than at the end of the job advertisement. We’re committed to building a respectful, inclusive, and diverse team. Trust is one of our core values; with that comes a commitment to fairness and transparency. We want to be open about our EDI efforts.
Research shows that while men are likely to apply when they meet 60% of a job’s requirements, women and individuals from underrepresented groups often apply only when they meet every criterion.
We understand the value of transferable skills and the unique perspectives that diversity brings. That’s why we encourage applications from candidates with unique strengths and experiences.
If you need any adjustments or support with your application, please let us know in your application or throughout the process.
Requirements
The role
We’ve gone from 0 to 1 — now we’re looking for confident, curious sales professionals to take us from 1 to 10.
This isn’t a typical remote role. While you’ll have the flexibility to work from home, the role involves a strong on-ground presence. Approximately 60% of your time will be spent on outbound activities - meeting clients, agencies, and partners, attending events, and building meaningful relationships that drive growth - while the remaining 40% will be focused on inbound and remote work.
We’re looking for self-starters who love turning conversations into opportunities. If you enjoy meeting new people, understanding their needs, and building relationships that lead to long-term success — you’ll thrive here.
The primary responsibilities of this role
We cannot provide an exhaustive list of duties; additional duties will arise, but the following will be core elements of this role:
Drive outbound sales through in-person meetings, demos, and events
Build strong relationships with decision-makers across startups, SMEs, and enterprises
Own the end-to-end sales cycle — from outreach and demo to negotiation and closure
Represent our brand on the ground as a trusted and passionate advocate
Collaborate closely with leadership to refine playbooks and scale revenues
Organize small meetups, networking sessions, and closed-door events to build community and pipeline
Essential elements for this role
These are the skills and qualifications we consider essential for this role:
4–7 years of sales experience, ideally in SaaS (bonus if in HR Tech or FinTech)
A consistent record of achieving and exceeding targets
Excellent communication, listening, and negotiation skills
A proactive, go-getter mindset — you take ownership and make things happen
Comfortable spending most of your time meeting people in person
Someone who thrives in the exciting (and sometimes ambiguous) world of early-stage startups.
Nice to have
These will help you stand out from the pack:
Hands-on experience with HubSpot, Google Workspace (G-Suite), and Slack
Background in SaaS, fintech, or startup environments
Startup/scaleup experience
Knowledge of shares and share schemes
Culture fit
What makes Vestd folk collaborative, adaptable, and eager to grow?
Thrives in a startup environment, ready to tackle diverse challenges with enthusiasm
Adaptable - open to taking on responsibilities beyond the defined role as needed
Passionate about contributing to a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement
Embraces technology to improve processes and drive efficiency
Benefits
What you can expect
Our culture is our backbone (BreatheHR named us one of the ‘Top 3 Companies in the UK for Company Culture’), and we take team happiness seriously.
Vestd strives to be as principled as possible. We’re all about Goal 8 of the United Nations ‘Sustainable Development Goals. This goal is about ‘Decent work and economic growth,’ and we consider it both with our external activities and internal workings.
We’ll do everything we can to help you grow in your role. In return, you’ll want to learn all about our industry and do all you can to help us continue leading it.
Vestd is 100% remote, so in return for your commitment, diligence, and productivity, you’ll have a lot of autonomy during your working day. Some roles demand office hours (to fit our customers’ schedules), but we are committed to offering flexibility where possible.
