Account Executive - Presight

Banyan Software provides the best permanent home for successful enterprise software companies, their employees, and customers. We are on a mission to acquire, build and grow great enterprise software businesses all over the world that have dominant positions in niche vertical markets. In recent years, Banyan was named the #1 fastest-growing private software company in the US on the Inc. 5000 and amongst the top 10 fastest-growing companies by the Deloitte Technology Fast 500. Founded in 2016 with a permanent capital base setup to preserve the legacy of founders, Banyan focuses on a buy and hold for life strategy for growing software companies that serve specialized vertical markets.

About the Company

We are a fast-growing, internationally focused SaaS company delivering advanced software solutions that help organisations operating in high-risk environments manage risk, ensure regulatory compliance, and protect people, assets and the environment.

We have two main strategic platforms. 

1. For process facilities, e.g. oil and chemical production assets, we provide a platform for managing requirements for complex piping systems.
2. Our other platform provides a holistic view of operational risk and barrier performance, enabling better decision-making and safer operations across global energy and industrial markets.

Guided by our values of being proactive, innovative, adaptive, and caring, we continuously evolve our platform and partnerships to create safer, more efficient operations for our clients.

With a diverse team representing multiple nationalities, we operate globally and serve customers across Europe, the Americas, Middle East and Africa. We are now strengthening our commercial function with the appointment of a high-calibre Business Development Manager to help scale revenue and unlock strategic growth opportunities.

The Opportunity

This is a full-cycle commercial role with full ownership of revenue generation across new and existing accounts. You will be responsible for originating, qualifying, progressing and closing opportunities — while ensuring leadership and technical stakeholders are engaged at the right stage of the sales process.This role is ideal for someone who thrives in long, consultative sales cycles, understands complex stakeholder environments, and is motivated by building a sustainable pipeline rather than chasing short-term wins.

Success in this role means:

• Independently building and managing a high-quality pipeline
• Progressing multi-stakeholder deals through structured qualification
• Closing strategic agreements aligned to long-term company growth
• Contributing to predictable, well-governed revenue performance 

Key Responsibilities

1. Pipeline Generation & Account Development

• Generate and manage a self-sourced pipeline through structured outbound activity and targeted account engagement.
• Follow up and convert inbound leads (demo requests, referrals, consultant introductions).
• Develop strategic account plans for high-value target organisations.
• Identify expansion opportunities within existing customers.

1. Full-Cycle Sales Ownership

• Own the entire sales process from initial outreach through discovery, qualification, evaluation, negotiation and contract close.
• Run structured first-stage qualification independently before involving executive or technical leadership.
• Lead multi-stakeholder sales processes involving management, engineering, IT/security, procurement and executive decision-makers.
• Develop value cases and commercial proposals aligned to customer business objectives.
• Maintain consistent follow-up cadence appropriate to long enterprise sales cycles.

1. Stakeholder & Internal Collaboration

• Collaborate with CTO and technical teams during IT/security evaluations and technical validation.
• Work closely with implementation/delivery teams to ensure smooth transition from contract to onboarding.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of sales processes, qualification standards and commercial best practices.

1. Commercial Discipline

• Maintain accurate forecasting and CRM hygiene. Experience with Hubspot preferred but not essential.
• Manage deal governance and ensure structured progression of opportunities.
• Work toward an annual revenue target (combined new and expansion revenue) aligned to company growth objectives.

Highly Desirable

• Experience in energy, industrial, engineering or other high-risk operational sectors.
• Experience working with global accounts across multiple geographies.
