Desired Qualities

With over a decade of experience and the power of cutting-edge technology, we continue to embrace the agility, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit. We believe our success is driven by a team of curious, action-oriented individuals who thrive in a fast-moving and global environment.

In addition to strong professional expertise, we look for people who:

About the Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Account Executive to join our growing Sales team and drive revenue growth across the EU/UK region. In this role, you will be responsible for progressing and closing Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs), expanding existing SME accounts, and proactively identifying new opportunities within your book of business.

You will primarily work with SME customers across a broad range of European markets and industry verticals where IoT and AI convergence is accelerating. Key verticals include Industrial IoT (Smart Factory, Predictive Maintenance), Consumer/Smart Living (HVAC, BEMS, Smart Appliances), Smart Mobility (EV charging, Fleet Management), and Transactional Systems (Payment solutions, Vending). You will own the full sales cycle from SQL through to close, and build trusted relationships with technical and business stakeholders across your accounts.

Key Responsibilities

• Own SQLs passed from the BDR team and drive them through the full sales cycle to close.
• Build and execute account plans — identifying upsell, cross-sell, and new pipeline opportunities within your book of business, and designing targeted outreach scenarios in collaboration with the SDR/BDR team.
• Execute full-cycle sales — from initial discovery through to negotiation, closing, and post-close handover.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, including technical leads and business decision-makers.
• Manage CRM (pipeline, forecasting, account records) accurately and consistently.
• Develop a solid understanding of Soracom's platform to establish technical credibility in customer conversations, articulate value clearly, and connect customer challenges to the right internal resources — escalating to Solutions Architects when deeper technical expertise is needed.
• Collaborate closely with internal teams (Marketing, Legal, Business Development) to drive deals forward and ensure a seamless customer experience.
• Gather customer insights and share feedback with Product and Go-to-Market teams.
• Represent Soracom at industry events, exhibitions, and conferences as needed.

• Experience developing account plans, designing sales scenarios, and independently generating new pipelines alongside driving upsell and cross-sell opportunities.

• Experience selling into diverse European markets — familiarity with customer behaviour and buying dynamics across the UK and mainland Europe.
