• Educate prospective customers on n8n’s automation and AI capabilities and connect these to their specific requirements

• Proactively follow up with engaged prospects through email, phone and LinkedIn to maintain momentum

• Identify additional stakeholders within high-potential accounts and support broader account engagement where relevant

• Partner closely with Enterprise AEs to provide clear meeting context, qualification insights and agreed next steps

• Maintain accurate Salesforce data across leads, accounts, contacts, activities and opportunities

• Use Salesforce, Outreach, Apollo and AI tools to support lead research, prioritisation, personalisation and follow-up

• Work with Marketing, Sales and Revenue Operations to share insights on lead quality, campaign performance and common customer needs

REQUIREMENTS

Must-haves

• B2B SaaS experience with a working knowledge of pipeline generation, qualification, and sales processes

• Strong written and verbal communication; able to write thoughtful outreach and hold confident conversations with senior stakeholders

• Emotional intelligence to build rapport quickly and adapt across technical and executive audiences

• Proactive, self-starting working style with consistent follow-up and ownership of results

• Based in London and able to work from the office three days per week

Nice-to-haves

• Hands-on experience with Salesforce, Outreach, Apollo, or similar platforms

• Experience selling to technical personas or strong interest in automation, AI, or developer tools
