Account Executive

Zeller is searching for the founding members of our UK-based sales team. As an Account Executive, you’ll be challenged to bring a hands-on approach, expert commercial acumen, self-starter experience, and competitive fire to help build a high-performing team culture.

We believe that building a long-lasting relationship is Zeller’s key to success. You’ll do this by engaging with merchants in a relevant and authentic way. Our merchants come in all shapes and sizes; from butchers and baristas, bar owners and beauticians, retailers and restaurateurs, and more. Every day will be different, and you'll thrive on going above-and- beyond to support your merchants, advocate for their needs, and help them grow.

This position is hands-on; you'll be experienced selling face-to-face (field sales / door-to-door), while performing cold outreach to build pipeline. Your discovery process involves deeply understanding their requirements, in order to position Zeller as the best option to supercharge their payments and cash flow.

This role is ideal for an energetic, highly motivated Account Executive who is looking to make an immediate impact on Zeller’s entry into the UK. You’re a natural born problem solver who is motivated by developing processes while executing in parallel. We’re excited to meet people ready to join us and help establish Zeller as one of the UK’s most executing new B2B fintechs.
