Summary

Root HR Limited is a growing UK-based AI technology startup developing intelligent solutions for HR, payroll, recruitment, workforce management and business compliance, through its AI-powered platform roothr.ai (https://roothr.ai/). We are looking for a motivated and entrepreneurial Sales Executive to join our growing team in Basildon, Essex. This is more than a traditional sales position: you will work directly with the founders, contribute to business expansion and play an important role in the growth of an emerging AI technology company. Graduates and entry-level applicants are welcome and full training will be provided.

Key responsibilities:

- Identify and develop new sales opportunities across the UK market.

- Research potential customers and industries.

- Build relationships with business owners and decision-makers.

- Generate qualified leads and sales opportunities through outreach, networking, LinkedIn and other channels.

- Arrange and attend client meetings, product demonstrations and industry events.

- Convert opportunities into new customers and close sales.

- Contribute to customer acquisition campaigns and business growth initiatives.

- Work closely with the founders to explore new markets and commercial opportunities.

- Maintain an organised sales pipeline and regularly report on sales activities.

- Support the company's long-term expansion and revenue growth objectives.

What we offer:

- Competitive base salary plus performance-based commission linked to successful sales performance.

- Opportunity to grow with an AI startup and work directly with the founders.

- Long-term career progression into senior sales, account management or commercial leadership roles.

- Potential equity participation: exceptional team members may be considered for future equity or share options, subject to eligibility, company approval and separate agreements.

- Training and exposure to AI technology, SaaS products, commercial strategy, sales and customer acquisition.

Contract terms: initial six-month fixed-term employment contract, including a three-month probationary period. Performance will be reviewed throughout the contract. Any extension or longer-term employment will depend on individual performance and business requirements.
