Mission

The way businesses buy stuff is completely broken. Whether it’s SaaS, hardware, or contractors, the average B2B purchase takes over 3 months, requires 50+ emails, and involves multiple different stakeholders (IT, Legal, InfoSec, Finance, etc.). No one likes the way it is and it’s slowing businesses down.

Omnea’s platform handles the entire purchasing process: giving employees an easy place to make requests and automating the necessary approvals for the purchase to be made.

Given the current market outlook, there has never been a more vital time for businesses to get control of their spend. This is Spend Control 2.0 — built for tougher times.

We are looking for a hard-working, commercially-minded generalist to join us. You may be new to sales or B2B SaaS, but you’ll be hungry to learn by doing and have a massively accelerated career trajectory.

We raised an initial $5m from two tier 1 VCs and 30+ renowned founders, and are an experienced team — every engineer was a top performer & tech lead at their previous business (Freetrade, Cazoo, Primer.ai etc.) and I went on a similar journey with Tessian six years ago, going from $0-30m ARR / $8-$500m valuation, and from pre-seed to Series C (Sequoia, Accel, etc.). We’ve spent the past 12 months building out our platform with well known tech companies and are now ready to launch our go-to-market.

Omnea operates as a meritocracy and the right person will progress rapidly. Within 12-24 months you’ll move into a managerial role or a more senior customer-facing role, whether that’s sales, customer success, or solutions consulting.

Co-Founder & CEO

What Can You Expect?

  • You’ll be an early commercial hire at one of Europe’s most promising early-stage companies working alongside an experienced team who have done this before & worked with the best investors and teams out there

  • You’ll be the engine for Omnea’s future growth and will learn first-hand how to build a go-to-market function from scratch and scale to $millions in ARR

  • Your role will start broad and your time will be split across demand generation / business development, working with our CEO and Commercial Lead on all sales activities & early deployments, and all other activities that drive our revenue growth & help us build our GTM function

  • You’ll spend about half of your time on demand generation — strategically identifying, prospecting, and qualifying prospective customers to generate interest in our technology & to build pipeline for future growthYou will own our go-to-market messaging for different geographies & sectors, building & managing outbound campaigns (LinkedIn, email, etc.)

    You’ll create best-in-class outbound sales processes & messaging, iterating as you go and later teaching new joiners how it’s done

  • You’ll spend the rest of your time helping to drive our go-to-market function and supporting our CEO and Commercial Lead in all commercial activities — managing sales pipeline, helping to close deals, supporting early customers, and later planning GTM strategyYou’ll work broadly across GTM activities, learning how to close deals and supporting with all related activities, whether that’s creating commercial proposals & other docs, managing early deployments & supporting customers, and building relationships within our broader market

  • Given the broad scope & impact of this role, you will receive a bonus based on overall company revenue as well as individual pipeline created.

  • Our expectation is that you put yourself forward for a team lead/managerial-level role after 12-24 months, or you may choose to focus on mastering a commercial specialism (eg. sales, customer success, solutions consulting). Ultra-high achievers will be given the opportunity even sooner

Omnea’s vision is as exciting as it is challenging. This is an incredibly unique opportunity for ambitious engineers who want to have an outsized impact at the start of something big.

About You

You have a constant focus on growth and will succeed at whatever you put your mind to. You’re intelligent & can work stuff out from first principles. You’re hard-working and willing to roll up your sleeves to do whatever. You’re entrepreneurial and will make an excellent future commercial leader and/or founder.

  • You have 1-4 years of experience succeeding in a B2B SaaS sales role or something comparable (i.e. you know you can sell!) and at least 2 years of working experience.
    You may not have any B2B / SaaS sales experience but you will have excelled at something incredibly challenging that demonstrates your grit & ability to sell. For example, you may be a career changer who did well in a different sector like law / banking / consulting / something else similarly intense & difficult, but now want to go on this journey of learning to sell & building a business.
  • You like to roll up your sleeves & get stuck in. No job at a startup is glamorous, but you are focussed on output and consider no job as too messy to get stuck into. You derive fulfilment from doing any task exceptionally well
  • You’re entrepreneurial and want to be part of building a business. You want to rise faster than would be possible in any ‘normal’ career and you’re happy to roll up your sleeves and do whatever’s required. We've even signed up to the Future Founder Promise
    You want to grow within Omnea. Perhaps you want to become the best sales, customer success, or product specialist out there and you’re looking for a company that can offer you that growth & learning opportunity to enable you to become a future leader
  • You love winning & hate losing and are happiest when working really hard and solving challenging problems/winning deals. You know this requires dedication & some sacrifice but you think it’s worth it
  • You’ve consistently performed in the top percentile of whatever environment you’ve been in, whether in education, business, sport, or a sales team
  • You’re intelligent and have the capacity to understand our product inside and out
  • You’re a master at nurturing relationships and have the gravitas to network with and sell to senior leadership (eg. CFOs); you can win people over
  • You’re an outstanding communicator; verbal, written, and when presenting

Omnea Life

Omnea is made up of a small team in pursuit of one mighty goal; to help businesses thrive. Our journey has led us to guide some of Europe's fastest-growing start-ups, working with the best investors and bringing multiple products to the market.

We understand that persistent progress needs a certain kind of mindset. One, that wants to define their career by personally having a direct, visible and meaningful impact on the industry. Nowadays it is easy to swap meaningful and exciting trajectories for elaborate company perks, such as free food and regular sponsored time working abroad.

But at Omnea we want to give you both. All while our focus feeds a culture, where we give you autonomy over your area, create a diverse team with the best peers to learn from and help you work towards goals, that actually excite you.

To ensure that Omnea feels like your business, we are giving early team members equity above the market rate.

Here, we are building in a space that hasn't been disrupted in over 20 years. The opportunities we are creating for some of the most exciting companies out there are vast and of incredibly high quality. If this sounds like you, come and join the ride!

Omnea Benefits

We are carefully thinking about all things that foster a healthy, balanced and fun work-life balance. Although we might not always have the most advanced & out-there company perks, here at Omnea we want to ensure that the environment created and the benefits received contribute to your life in a meaningful way. We find that so many companies nowadays will prioritize fancy perks and work environments over actually taking care of their employees - we want to make sure employee wellbeing actually comes first.

We are hoping you can help us shape the culture and promise to listen to the feedback of our team to expand this list.

A top percentile compensation package - we give more equity than usual so that each team member has financial and emotional ownership over Omnea.
Company-sponsored remote working opportunities - we'll go to nice places and work together remotely. And Omnea will sponsor it.
Actually fun (!) company events and offsites! We have a rota so that everyone can choose what we will do (so far there have been strong tendencies towards nature and animals).
A cool office in central London with snacks, drinks, games and regular dog visits.
Private meditation coaching and other fantastic well-being support - our CEO has a pretty thorough mental well-being routine and as a company, we want to support and encourage people to develop their own. And Omnea will sponsor it.
