Full-time Head of Sales, Redwood Software
FULL-TIME SALES JOB · SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT SECTOR · BURNHAM, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM
Redwood Software, a Fortune 50–trusted SaaS orchestration vendor, seeks a senior enterprise sales executive for full-time, on-site work in Burnham. This is a quota-carrying new business hunter role closing large complex deals; it demands presence, deep account ownership, and continuous territory building—hallmarks of permanent full-time employment, not fractional or interim engagement.
Full-time Head of Sales — the balanced verdict
Why this role stands out
- Established, well-funded SaaS vendor (30 years' pedigree, Fortune 50 customer base) offering genuine runway and professional sales infrastructure
- Clear role scope (land new enterprise accounts, manage complex cycles, influence C-suite) with defined success metrics
- Consultative sales culture and emphasis on customer success suggest mature sales practices
Worth checking before you apply
- Full-time, on-site expectation (Burnham office) rules out fractional or remote-first candidates
- No salary or day rate disclosed; compensation structure and equity component not stated
- Enterprise sales cycles are lengthy and require sustained territory investment; interim or part-time sitting won't credibly fill the role
