Sales Executive

1 week ago

Halesowen, Dudley, United Kingdom Kanda Full time

Hi We are Richard & Rob, founders of Kanda - we've built the UK's market-leading platform for homeowners to spread payments on their home improvements (through local trades).

We were part of Y Combinator and raised our seed round from several US funds, plus incredible founders like James Park (Fitbit), Henry De Zoete (Look After My Bills), and Kenny Stone (PlanGrid).

Now we're looking for another Sales Executive to support Kanda's continued growth.

The highlights:

  • Base of £24k-£28k/yr (based on experience) + commission. Realistic OTE of £48K/yr
  • First week in-person, then a fully remote role (sales team meet-ups once per month plus occasional pre-planned company-wide events).

The details:

You'll be part of a growing sales team that works alongside the Founders & engineers to grow our user base - here's what you'll be doing:

  • Sales calls will be 100% of your bread and butter. Mainly inbound leads being booked into your diary or new sign up's expecting call backs. That said, you will be ready & willing to do outbound 'warm' lead prospecting too.
  • Manage your sales pipeline, including diary & task management to make sure potential users get followed up with at the right time
  • You'll follow our playbook but have freedom to iterate and change it to improve conversion rate, but you need to be data driven in your decisions
  • Managing various sales systems including our CRM, AI driven apps, calling/messaging software, our own internal tools, etc
  • We're a start-up; you'll end up doing things here vastly different to how you do them now
  • You need an attitude which sees you default to action, not planning.

This role is a sales heavy/phone call heavy role. You will be working remotely and expected to make between 50-70 calls a day, as well as nurturing leads and manage various systems. You'll be part of a team that's driven to improve & scale our sales function.

What you can do:

  • Comfortably talk to clients on the phone vs via email - our audience is always on the move
  • Execute under pressure and not be overwhelmed by a full diary of calls
  • You're proactive and will find impactful work to do on 'slow days' - no stragglers here
  • You're intuitive and can decipher what customers are 'really asking for' when they raise concerns
  • You're highly organised; this is a busy role and you'll need to be able to work diligently

We are looking for people who love helping customers solve their problems with the right products, and thrive off exceeding targets & winning new business.

Nice to have:

  • Experience working in construction/home improvements & payments sectors
  • Experience working in a start-up previously, have a good grasp of software

Why you should join Kanda:

Besides the typical benefits of working at a startup (flexibility, sense of ownership, rapid learning curve, and exposure to all parts of building a company) being a sales executive at Kanda is the opportunity to:

  • Shape the $1tn/year construction industry whilst building a new type of lender. We are challenging two ancient industries to do things better; construction & finance. You'll work daily to turn both of them on their heads in order to give consumers and businesses a better way of working together.
  • Own a venture-funded startup's tech stack from day 1 and be able to set up our infrastructure to go from 1000's of users to 1M's in a few years.
  • Work with top-tier salespeople and constantly learn from each other.
  • Impact real people's lives every day - every startup wants to 'help people', by working at Kanda you will literally be changing the lives of hard-working tradespeople so they can win better work and grow their businesses. All whilst helping customers find a way to fund essential works for their homes.

Other than the solution we are building, we see our workplace and culture as another product of our company. We want to create an environment for our people to continually grow, empower each other, hone their craft, and feel proud of their work.
