Senior Account Executive (UK market)
Build the UK market with Assessio. Open doors, advise senior HR leaders and shape fairer, data-driven hiring with real impact.
You know the feeling.
You come across a job opening that feels like a perfect fit. You’re driven, you learn fast, and you deliver results — yet on paper, everyone seems to have the same CV. That’s exactly what’s broken in recruitment.
And that’s exactly what we fix.
Welcome to Assessio
Assessio helps organizations hire better people based on objective data, not gut feeling or CVs. With our SaaS platform, we match talent and roles based on potential, competencies, and behavior.
The result?
Better hires, lower turnover, and fairer opportunities in the labor market. We work with more than 2,000 organizations, including Rabobank, KLM, G-Star, Maandag, and PostNL, and are growing rapidly across Europe.
Your role
As a Senior Account Executive (UK Market) at Assessio, you take on a strategic and highly visible role within a fast-growing European HR-tech organisation with ambitious international plans. You help mid-sized and large organisations make better, fairer and more data-driven decisions about hiring, selection and development — decisions that directly impact both people and organisational performance.
A core part of your role is building and opening the UK market. You thrive on creating something from the ground up: developing new relationships, establishing our presence, and shaping how Assessio is positioned in a new market.
You own the full commercial cycle: from opening new accounts to closing complex, often organisation-wide deals. You don’t act as a traditional product seller, but as a trusted advisor and sparring partner for HR leaders, directors and executive stakeholders.
You have the freedom to shape your own approach and working day, while collaborating closely with an SDR, an experienced and ambitious sales team, and colleagues in Marketing, Product and Customer Success across Europe.
Our customers operate in both the private and public sectors and face challenges around talent, objectivity, diversity and predictability in HR decision-making.
What you’ll be doing
Creating new opportunities:
Proactively opening new accounts within mid-sized and large organisations in the UK together with an SDR
Building and managing your own high-quality pipeline, with a focus on value rather than volume
Exploring new use cases, sectors and applications within HR and talent challenges
Translating market and customer insights into commercial opportunities
Actively contributing to the successful launch and growth of the UK market
Leading complex HR-tech sales cycles:
Conducting strong, content-driven conversations with HR Directors, HR Business Partners, leadership teams and other key stakeholders
Understanding organisation-wide challenges in recruitment, selection and development
Positioning Assessio as a strategic solution within broader HR and change initiatives
Negotiating and closing long-term partnerships with lasting impact
Building sustainable commercial growth together:
Working closely with a dedicated SDR (UK market), marketing, product and Customer Success to deliver a consistent customer journey
Ensuring strong handovers and successful customer implementations
Maintaining oversight in CRM and steering on predictability, progress and quality
Sharing learnings and best practices from the UK market with the wider European organisation
Who are you?
You enjoy complex, consultative sales and get energy from opening and developing a new market.
What you bring
At least 5 years of experience in B2B sales, preferably within SaaS or complex solution environments
Experience with solution selling and multi-stakeholder sales processes
Comfort operating at both strategic and tactical levels
A strong sense of ownership over your pipeline, results and customer relationships
The ability to translate complex content into clear and compelling customer value
Experience with, or strong motivation for, launching and growing a new market (UK or international)
Personal qualities that help you succeed
You combine a healthy “hunter” mentality with genuine interest in people and organisations
You work in a structured and thoughtful way, even in long and complex sales cycles
You are curious, analytical, and comfortable challenging existing assumptions
You are a team player who enjoys contributing to shared growth and success
You genuinely enjoy building something new and take pride in opening a market and making it succeed

Our hiring process
We practice what we preach. We ask you to complete an assessment consisting of three parts: a cognitive ability assessment, a personality assessment, and a motivation questionnaire.
Everyone goes through this process. Why? To ensure that everyone gets a fair chance and that our decisions are based on data, not gut feeling. The assessment takes approximately 40 minutes, and you’ll receive a quick response from us after completing it.
