This is a rare chance to join something very special at exactly the right moment. The Opportunity: You will own the outbound engine that fuels Actionstep UK's next phase of growth, building the pipeline that our Account Executives convert into revenue.

If you want a fully built system to plug into, this is probably not the right move. But if you want to own a function, define how it works and prove what is possible in one of the UK's most exciting growth stories, this is it. What we offer: • Flexible, remote-first working • Unlimited leave • Optional London WeWork office access • Pension contributions • Private medical insurance • Dental insurance • Life insurance • Opportunity to shape and define a critical growth function • High-autonomy role with significant commercial impact If you've read this advert and you're thinking "this is for me" - we'd love to hear from you.
