Enterprise Account Executive [100%], London - Hybrid (London 1)

About You

As Enterprise Account Executive London, you will help convert Optiml’s London momentum into closed enterprise revenue while building a repeatable pipeline motion in the UK.

This is a full-cycle role: you will originate and progress opportunities, run discovery, coordinate multi-stakeholder processes, and close new enterprise customers—with structured support from founders/senior commercial leaders on the most complex late-stage negotiations and procurement dynamics.

You are expected to be commercially disciplined: qualify hard, forecast realistically, protect pricing integrity, and create clean handovers into onboarding and early expansion.
