From the employer
We are a technological powerhouse for sellers worldwide, providing an innovative all-in-one system. Our mission is to simplify the lives of online entrepreneurs by helping them automate processes, dynamically scale their businesses, and efficiently manage sales across multiple platforms. All of this is thanks to our passion for innovation and the use of modern technologies. We operate globally, partnering with thousands of marketplaces and industry leaders such as Amazon, eBay, Shopify, DHL, and FedEx, and our international team of experts works in Poland, Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
We are proud of our spectacular growth โ we're more than just another tech company. As one of the fastest-growing platforms in the industry, we've seen dynamic growth over the past three years, expanding our revenue and our global customer base. We are building a culture centered on real impact and collaboration, because our team is the heart of our innovation
We're already working in the market, building relationships across the ecommerce ecosystem and growing our UK customer base. Now we're investing in the next stage of that journey and we're looking for an ambitious Account Executive to help accelerate it.
This gives you the best of both worlds.
You'll join a proven international technology company with an established platform, global customers, significant integrations and experienced teams behind you while still having the opportunity to influence how we scale o
๐ The opportunity
As an Account Executive, you'll own the full new-business sales cycle across the UK & Ireland.
You'll work with scaling brands, retailers and ecommerce businesses, engaging Heads of Ecommerce, Marketplace, Operations and senior leadership to understand where operational complexity is limiting growth.
From there, you'll demonstrate how Base can help them scale.
