At Smeetz, we are on a mission to transform how visitor attractions like theme parks, museums, and theaters manage their sales and maximize revenue. As an AI-driven SaaS platform, we empower our clients with tools to efficiently manage, market, and price their products.
We’re looking for an Account Executive to join our growing commercial team and lead our expansion in the UK market. As an AE, you’ll own opportunities end-to-end, from first contact to signed contract, and play a central role in shaping how Smeetz grows in one of our most strategic regions. You’ll work closely with SDRs, Marketing, Product, and Implementation to bring meaningful value to attractions across the UK.

-
Generate new business opportunities: Identify, prospect, and qualify leads in the UK market to build and maintain a strong and healthy sales pipeline. You will leverage inbound interest as well as outbound outreach to drive growth.
-
Manage the full sales cycle: Run the complete acquisition process including outbound outreach, discovery calls, product demonstrations, commercial proposals, contract negotiation, and closing, before handing customers over to the Implementation/Account Management team.

Develop the UK market: Build a strong network within the UK attractions and cultural industry by attending business events, conferences, trade shows, and webinars, and by selecting and managing key events to participate in.

Travel to build relationships and close deals: Enjoy being on the road - visiting prospects and customers across the UK, attending industry events and conferences, and joining internal meet-ups with the commercial team. Use in-person time to deepen relationships, accelerate deals, and strengthen Smeetz’s market presence.
