Remote Head of Sales: Selling Has Bought

Job description

There are very few moments in a career when you get to sell something genuinely new. This is one of them.

You’ve spent your career placing rare, considered propositions in front of the most discerning buyers — and you know the best deals are won on trust, provenance and story, not on discounting. We’re going to ask you to do exactly that, with something the market has never seen.

Natural capital is emerging as one of the world’s most significant new asset classes, and the commercial market for it is being built in real time. Oxygen Conservation is at the forefront. We’re a fast-scaling business on a mission to protect and restore the natural environment at an institutional scale, aiming for £1 billion of assets under management by 2030 — and we’ll get there by bringing real commercial discipline to conservation.

We’ve developed the highest-quality nature-based carbon credits in the world, at record prices, and this is just the beginning. We’re now bringing our portfolio of 2 million premium natural capital credits to market, and this role was created specifically to lead that.

You don’t need to come from natural capital — we’ll make you fluent. What we can’t teach is the instinct for a premium sale, the discipline to hold a price, and the relationships that follow you from one deal to the next. Do that here, and you won’t just close landmark deals — you’ll help define how nature is commercialised globally, delivering genuine environmental and social impact alongside financial returns.

About You

You’ve built your career selling premium — luxury, high-end services or sophisticated B2B environments, partnering with FTSE 100, S&P 500, hyperscalers, infrastructure operators or comparable institutions, where commitment is earned on scarcity, provenance and trust. You understand how procurement and investment committees actually make decisions. You move comfortably across boardrooms and high-trust commercial environments, and you know instinctively that the best outcomes come from genuine relationships, sharp judgement, and the discipline to walk away from the wrong deal.

You care passionately about quality, you have an unrelenting commitment to delivery, and you love building relationships with people. Here, you’ll be selling things that have rarely been sold before — helping create the market as you go.

Mindset

Quality over quick wins: you care about the outcome, not just the deal. The developing natural capital market ruthlessly tests anyone who doesn’t. You’re radically transparent with partners (and with us) when something doesn’t add up, and you walk away when the shape of a deal would compromise quality or integrity. You’re here to make a market, not just hit a target.

Pace and patience: OC moves quickly, especially when our market doesn’t. You bring the urgency to operate at our speed and the resilience for the long term — because deals in this developing market don’t close in a quarter, and the work between “yes in principle” and signed contract is where most people fall away.

A builder, comfortable in ambiguity: when there’s no playbook, no comparable benchmark and no obvious next move, you’re the person who keeps moving forward. You treat the zero-to-one nature of this role as the appeal, not the risk — and you treat collaboration as the way you build, not friction along the way. The team’s success matters more than your personal pipeline;

we have a very rigid “No Dickheads” policy.

A learner by instinct: you’ll become genuinely bilingual in the rapidly evolving carbon and biodiversity credit markets — and just as comfortable with the technology that underpins how we make decisions and the products you take to market. Over time, you’ll become the leading commercial figure in the domain.

Craft

• Deal-making as a creative discipline: when a partner says “this doesn’t work for us,” you’ve already prepared alternative shapes — different tenor, volume, commitment — and can walk through them confidently.

• A translator and a storyteller: you move between conservation science, investor narrative and corporate procurement language without losing fluency in any of them — and you understand that…
