→Map the UK financial services landscape and build a targeted pipeline across insurers, banks, adviser networks and wealth managers - then convert them into long-term partnerships that scale.
→Leverage existing relationships across the Octopus Group to open doors faster - then convert them into long-term partnerships that scale
→Get us known. People already know Octopus - this is about showcasing the breadth of services we can offer. Whether that's speaking at industry events, hosting roundtables or simply being visible across UK wealth, insurance and banking circles.
→Run deals end-to-end. From the first conversation to a signed contract, you'll navigate complex organisations with multiple stakeholders, align commercial terms, and get ink on paper.
→Make the numbers do the talking. Build partner-specific business cases showing how our platform drives wealth retention, improves customer experience and supports Consumer Duty obligations.
→Grow senior relationships across the sector. You'll be in rooms with heads of distribution, chief customer officers and board members - the kind of conversations where partnerships are shaped, not just sold.

7+ years selling into UK financial services at an enterprise level. You've closed complex, multi-stakeholder deals with insurers, banks or wealth managers and you have the relationships to show for it.
You know how these organisations work from the inside - the politics, the buying committees, the commercial pressures. You understand what makes a head of distribution say yes.
Naturally curious. You dig into how a partner's business actually runs before you walk in the room. You understand their customers, their pain points and where we fit.
Direct. With partners, with the team, with yourself. You say what you think and adjust based on what's working, not what you hoped would work.
You don't need managing. You set your own pace, build your own structure and get on with it.
Comfortable without a playbook. You've either built a market before or you've been itching to.
Long sales cycles, shifting stakeholders and incomplete information don't throw you off. You stay focused on the outcome.
You actually care about this. You can explain why bereavement support matters to a room of sceptical executives and make them care too - because we do.
You understand what it means to sell into FCA-regulated environments, consumer duty, and you take that seriously.
