Paddle offers digital product companies a completely different approach to their payment infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we take away 100% of the pain of payment fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better. We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 10, 000 software sellers in 245 territories globally. Self-serve today represents a meaningful part of Paddle's revenue. This role owns the commercial mandate to grow that significantly. Not just to run self-serve, but to build the strategy for where and how it scales, and execute against it. We're hiring a Director of Self-Serve to take full commercial ownership of Paddle's self-serve motion, running and scaling it as a business line. Self-serve is a material and fast-moving part of our revenue, and it needs an owner who thinks in unit economics, not just funnel metrics. You'll set the strategic direction, and work across Finance, Product, Engineering, Demand Generation, Partnerships, and RevOps to align everyone behind it. Getting this right is a genuinely cross-functional endeavour, and your ability to bring people with you will be just as important as your commercial acumen. You'll operate with a small, focused team including engineering capacity. This is a role for someone who wants to build and run the engine hands on, not manage through layers. Own the line. Carry the commercial number for self-serve end to end, from acquisition through adoption, to revenue and net retention. Own the unit economics, and how they improve. Set the strategy. Form a clear commercial view of where self-serve creates value, ensure Finance and Product alignment, and translate it into a plan the business can execute against. Own activation and time-to-value. Evolve who and how we onboard through self-serve, how we nurture them through lifecycle stages, and the in-product experience that gets them to value fast. Increasing volume while decreasing time-to-value, not trading one for the other. You fundamentally approach the self-serve experience as a product, running structured discovery and experimentation, not defaulting to only marketing levers. Shape the demand. Define the customer profile that makes the economics work and work collaboratively with Demand Generation on the targeting you need, co-owning a single funnel against a shared ICP. Orchestrate cross-functionally. Codify the work into clear streams with clear owners, influence the Product, Engineering, and Risk roadmaps, and run a regular business cadence that keeps people aligned on priorities and impact. Deepen partner integrations. Work hand-in-glove with Partnerships to turn distribution relationships into deep well-integrated channels, owning the commercial outcome of partner-sourced volume. Build and run the engine. Design and run the experimentation, tooling, and tracking to improve funnel codification, time-to-value, activation, and conversion using AI where it raises velocity and quality, applied to the right customer. As the motion scales, you'll shape the team around it. Make the economics stack up. Working closely with finance you own self-serve pricing and packaging as a lever, to ensure profitable scale. Go get the answer yourself. When something doesn't add up, you pull the data, run the analysis, and don't wait to be handed a conclusion. Self-reliance is core to how you operate, not a fallback when support isn't available. You interrogate, not just observe. Live the ‘five whys’ principle, with the ability to take a plausible looking number, trend, signal and stress-test it until you've found the actual driver, not the first explanation that fits. You default to hypothesis and experiment before you default to opinion or output, treating the funnel as something to be iteratively shaped, not just optimised within. Given a mission, you don't let go of it. You have a real hunger to find and unlock value you believe is there, working through blockers, organisational, technical, or data. Deeply experienced in a PLG or self-serve motion in a high-growth tech business, where you've built and owned the funnel rather than a sales-assisted or enterprise motion, and have been accountable for the number, not adjacent to it. A commercial operator who has owned a revenue line, channel, or segment. Someone who operates in founder mode with the instinct to understand the economics, not just the funnel beneath them. You think like a product manager: prioritizing ruthlessly, scope experiments tightly, and see the boundary between growth and product as something to work across. Fluent at moving from data to a commercial conclusion, with the discipline to separate signal from noise and turn analysis into a clear decision rather than a list of observations. A sharp critical thinker who interrogates the brief rather than taking it at face value, challenges assumptions (including ours), and is as willing to conclude "this isn't where we should be investing" as to confirm the plan. A genuine cross-functional leader who has brought structure to messy, multi-team programmes, influenced roadmaps you don't control, and run the cadence that holds a programme together. A credible presence in front of senior stakeholders up to executive level; you communicate with clarity and authority and can take a room with competing priorities to a clear decision. Equally comfortable operating at altitude and dropping into the detail, and always coming back up with a point of view, not just findings. Able to use AI pragmatically; dynamic onboarding, predictive scoring, real-time segmentation, as a means to commercial outcomes, not an end in itself.

Senior Executive Communications Manager. Excellent writing skills, with the range to develop narratives and adapt them for speeches, scripts, and written communications. Reporting to: EY UK Communications Director.

Centre for Industrial Rheology · Warnford, Hampshire (hybrid) · £50–60k base · £65–75k on target · £90k+ for over-performers · uncapped · share options We're a specialist materials characterisation lab that helps R&D teams at some of the world's best-known manufacturers understand why their products behave the way they do, and how to make them behave better. We're hiring an experienced Account Executive to own and grow our Food & Drink sector. You'll take over a portfolio of live and target accounts along with an active pipeline for you to close. You'll be supported as part of an established commercial team, with a focus on building and closing your own pipeline with net new business. Success is growing the sector into a unit you could eventually lead. If you've done the big-corporate sales thing and found that the org chart, the lead-routing rules and the quarterly re-org got in the way of actually selling, this is the opposite of that. Also growing in Advanced Materials. A second Account Executive role covering inks, coatings, adhesives, polymers and batteries follows in the coming months. The Centre for Industrial Rheology is an independent UK lab specialising in rheology, interfacial science and the physical properties of soft materials: how they flow, spread, stick, slip and break. Our customers are R&D scientists and formulators in life sciences, personal care, food and drink, advanced materials and emerging tech. They come to us when a product separates on the shelf, won't pump, prints badly, feels wrong in the mouth, or when they need hard data to settle an argument. Founded 2012; profitable and growing. In food and drink, our customers range from global brands to ingredient houses and contract manufacturers. The problems are texture, mouthfeel, stability, pumpability and processing: how a sauce holds on a shelf, why a bar crumbles on the cutter, how a plant-based emulsion compares to the dairy original. You'll be talking to product developers, process engineers and food scientists. • Build pipeline. Open conversations with R&D and technical leaders at target accounts. We have marketing, content, SDRs and a CRM, but the pipeline is yours to generate., • Sell consultatively. Turn a customer's product problem into a scoped test programme, with our technical team behind you on the science., • Close and grow. Projects run days to weeks, not months; you'll be scoping, quoting and closing every week., • Own live accounts. Take over an existing account base from day one and become the person they call., • Get out there. Customer visits, trade shows and conferences; regular UK travel, occasional Europe., • Work the cadence. Keep the CRM honest and join weekly pipeline reviews with our Sales Director., • A track record of self-generated pipeline. We'll ask what proportion of your last two years' revenue you originated yourself., • Proven closing at £5–50k project scale on short cycles; you've carried and hit a personal target in the £250–500k range., • A science or engineering background, or several years selling technical services, instruments or consumables to R&D buyers. Rheology not required; holding your own with a formulation chemist is., • Comfort selling something the customer has to be taught. You can write and present well enough to teach it., • The temperament for a small company: direct access to every decision, and no cover., • A network in food and drink R&D, whether in ingredients, contract research, process technology or brand-side product development., • Time at a large company followed by a deliberate decision to leave it. Base salary of £50,000–£60,000 depending on experience, plus uncapped commission on everything you bill. Earnings are £65,000–£75,000 on target and £90,000 or more for over-performers, and the scheme is built so that the further past target you go, the bigger the share you keep: • Accelerators. Your commission rate steps up when you beat your monthly target, and steps up again for everything you bill above that. Pass your annual target early and the top rate applies to every invoice for the rest of the year., • Ramp guarantee. On-target commission is guaranteed for your first quarter while you learn the science and the accounts., • No cap. We'll walk you through the full scheme, with worked examples, at interview. The whole commercial team competes in a quarterly points league, with points for top billing, for beating target by the widest margin, and for every new account you open. Prizes are chosen to be enjoyed with a partner or family: a weekend away, a spa day, dinner for two. This is a sector-owner role with a designed progression: grow the sector, lead a small team within it, then a route to sales management across the business as we scale. We're building the commercial function now; you'd help shape it. • Share options, • Hybrid, based at our lab in Warnford, Hampshire (Winchester / Petersfield area), • 37.5 hours per week, flexible around travel and events, • 28 days holiday plus bank holidays, the Christmas shutdown on us, and your birthday off, • Travel expensed #J-18808-Ljbffr
