R&D Tax - Country Sales Lead (UK)
We're partnering with an established specialist R&D tax and innovation incentives consultancy, part of a larger international group, with well over a decade of experience and a loyal UK client base, some of whom they have served for more than three years.
They are now looking for a Country Sales Lead to take that platform and grow the UK market significantly further.
The Role
This is a senior, autonomous position built around relationships rather than call volume. The core focus is partner and introducer channels: building and owning a portfolio of referral relationships with accountancy practices, tax firms and advisers. This is complemented by a meaningful element of direct sales, where you will generate your own pipeline and own the full sales cycle from first conversation through to signature. You will have specialist technical delivery colleagues and live client case studies behind you, report into senior management, and have real influence over how the UK commercial function takes shape.
What you'll bring
- At least three years' sales or business development experience in R&D tax incentives, with a proven track record
- An established, active network of accountancy and tax firms, advisers and professional contacts that you can activate from day one
- Experience building revenue through partner, referral or introducer channels
- Credibility with C-suite and senior finance leaders, from SMEs through to enterprise
- Commercial acumen and a working knowledge of the UK R&D incentive regimes and recent changes
- A self-starting, entrepreneurial approach, comfortable working remotely and independently
What's on offer
- Base salary of £55,000 – £65,000 plus uncapped commission, with a clear and transparent structure
- Permanent, full-time and genuinely remote, with access to office space if you want it (occasional UK and international travel)
- Real autonomy, reporting directly into senior management
- Progression into broader commercial and leadership responsibility as the UK grows
- Specialist technical backing and the stability of an international group
This would suit someone who already operates in the UK R&D tax market, has a live network, and wants to own and build a market rather than work a call list.
