Role Description

As our Founding Account Executive in the UK at Rillet, you’ll be at the forefront of transforming how high-growth companies run their finances. Your mission is to drive revenue growth by building deep, strategic relationships with CFOs, finance leaders, and accounting teams — helping them realize the full potential of Rillet.

This role blends business acumen, strategic sales expertise, and a strong grasp of AI-powered automation — empowering the world’s most ambitious companies to achieve zero-day close and operate with real-time financial clarity.

What You'll Do

• Build the GTM playbook: You’ll play a key role in building the playbook and driving our GTM motion. Specifically, you’ll refine our process playbook, run message tests, perform ROI comparison analyses, experiment to find new and unexpected channels, and more. You’ll take full ownership with a scrappy approach and double down when you see signs of success.
• Execute relentlessly: Work cross-functionally to provide front-line prospect feedback to founders and product teams in near real-time. Perform strategic, personalized outreach to priority accounts and drive opportunities forward from SQL to signed deal. You’ll roll up your sleeves and accelerate velocity.
• Represent Rillet: You’ll be the face of the company — applying high customer empathy and structured problem-solving to ensure every prospect interaction is exceptional. You’re comfortable selling to users with deep finance and accounting expertise and will deepen your domain knowledge in the process.

• Strategic operator who builds pipeline, quantifies business value, and drives measurable ROI for clients.
• Detail-oriented collaborator who delivers actionable feedback to internal teams to improve product and process outcomes.
