Account Executive

About us

At Xelix, we work with some of the world's largest companies to automate and strengthen their financial controls. Our AI solutions redefine how Accounts Payable teams operate - moving from manual processes to automated, intelligent workflows.

Xelix is a fast-paced scale-up - things move fast and expectations are high. We raised our Series B with Insight Partners in June 2025 and are expanding aggressively. We have a team 150 talented people pulling together to achieve our goals. Everyone is trusted to take ownership, move fast and have a meaningful impact. We prioritise personal and professional growth, keep things fun, and love to celebrate a milestone together.

In this role you’ll grow, be challenged and help shape the future of Xelix. If you’re excited about building something special with us, we’d love to hear from you.

We are looking for a experienced Account Executive who are excited to be part of the early sales team at a very fast-growing startup.

Importantly, we are not looking for Alpha, 'gift of the gab' type salespeople. Rather, we are excited to hire intelligent, thoughtful and reflective salespeople who build trust and meaningful connections with prospects.

The role could develop into a leadership position, managing a team of AEs, or stay as an individual contributor role – closing our largest deals.

• Manage and forecast sales activity and opportunities by flawlessly executing the Xelix sales process and playbook.
• Attend in-person meetings on client site, as well as industry events, such as user groups, trade shows and conferences to build and manage relationships with prospective and existing customer base.

• Proven ability to self-source and generate pipeline
• Consecutive years of quota attainment at a technology company

At Xelix, customer segments are defined by annual company revenue rather than employee count. As Xelix serves large organisations, these classifications differ from those commonly used in other businesses.

• Mid-Market - Organisations with annual revenue of up to £1 billion.
• Small Enterprise - Organisations with annual revenue between £1 billion and £5 billion.
• Large Enterprise / Strategic - Organisations with annual revenue of £5 billion or more. These accounts are typically complex, involving multiple stakeholders, longer sales cycles, and global or multi-entity operations.
