Build the engine. Win the business. Own the outcome.
We've built a profitable, AI-native consultancy on reputation and referrals. Now we want someone to build the machine that wins new business on purpose - and we'll give them the authority, the budget and the equity to do it.
About us
Vertex Agility is an established, AI-native technology consultancy. Since 2013 we've delivered for demanding enterprise clients across financial services and global consulting, and we're now backed for our next phase of growth. Almost all of that growth has come through founder relationships - which is exactly the opportunity here: a commercial function to build from the ground up.
The role
As our first Chief Commercial Officer, you'll build and own Vertex Agility's new-business engine end to end - and you'll be measured, first and above all, on the new business it wins. This is a builder's job, not a bag-carrier's. You'll design the ICP, the motion, the pipeline and the team, turn the senior consultative selling that already works into something repeatable and scalable, and win new logos at scale.
What you'll do
- Define who we sell to, and win them - ICP, target lists, outbound and sales motion.
- Build a pipeline and a forecast the board can trust.
- Put the commercial systems, pricing and playbooks in place.
- Recruit, coach and lead the commercial team.
- Own the new-business number.
What you'll get
- A clean slate and real authority - a seat on the leadership team and a direct line to the CEO and board.
- Your own budget, and a business genuinely backed to invest in growth.
- A competitive package with an equity / LTIP element tied to the new business you create.
- Marquee clients that give you proof and reference power from day one.
Who you are
- You've built a commercial or BD engine before - and you can point to the new business it won. A builder who produced revenue, not process for its own sake.
- Enterprise, services-led background: you know long, multi-stakeholder, six- and seven-figure deals sold on value, not rate card.
- You thrive in a lean, direct, founder-led business that's growing fast.
- You can qualify and price AI-led propositions, not just talk about them.
The deal
