Senior Account Executive (Founding Sales Hire)
About Metris Energy
At Metris, we're on a mission to accelerate the energy transition by helping solar owners manage their asset(s) autonomously. Today, our platform delivers real-time data on 1,000s of solar projects across the UK and automates time-consuming tasks involved in solar management such as monitoring, fault detection, reporting and billing. Next, Metris is building proprietary AI to deliver autonomous operation of small-scale renewables.
The Role
We are now ready to scale with our first full-time sales hire who can take ownership of the entire sales function and play a central role in shaping how Metris goes to market — from building a proprietary pipeline to structuring the sales playbook and closing deals.
This is a hands-on, end-to-end sales role. You’ll start by personally driving deals, developing relationships, and refining our value proposition in-market. In parallel, you’ll design and implement the processes, KPIs, and team structure to create a repeatable, predictable revenue engine. The ideal candidate is as comfortable picking up the phone and closing a deal as they are designing sales playbooks.
What You’ll Do
Own revenue, end to end
- Drive deals from first touch to close
- Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across asset management, finance, and sustainability teams
- Manage and grow a high-quality pipeline of B2B customers
Build pipeline from scratch
- Design and execute outbound strategies across email, phone, and LinkedIn
- Identify and prioritise target accounts (property owners, asset managers, investors)
Turn selling into a system
- Define sales processes, KPIs, and forecasting
- Help shape pricing, packaging, and positioning
- Collaborate closely with founders and product to refine the value proposition
- Lay the foundations for a repeatable, predictable revenue engine
Who We’re Looking For
Must-haves
- 4–7 years of experience in B2B SaaS or enterprise software sales
- Proven track record of closing mid-market or enterprise deals
- Comfortable selling to senior decision-makers (C-level, Heads of Function)
- Experience owning deals end-to-end, not just top-of-funnel
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
Nice-to-haves
- Experience selling into real estate, infrastructure, energy, or sustainability
- Exposure to asset-heavy or operationally complex customers
- Experience in early-stage or high-growth companies
Mindset
- You’re hands-on and commercially sharp
- You enjoy building before optimising
- You’re excited by ownership, not job titles
- You’re comfortable operating without a playbook — and writing the first one
Why Join Metris
- Be the first full-time sales hire with real influence over strategy and execution
- Work directly with founders on deals, positioning, and growth
- Sell a product with clear ROI and strong customer pull
- Competitive compensation + meaningful upside as the company scales
- London-based, in-person first culture
- 3 days per week in the office
- 30 days per year work-from-anywhere
- Join a fast growing, mission-driven company accelerating the energy transition.
