Hi, we’re Penfold. We’re on a mission to help everyone save enough to be comfortable in later life by making pensions accessible and engaging! There’s over a trillion pounds in UK pensions, but the industry is full of traditional providers with outdated products and poor customer service. Penfold is dragging the pension industry out of the dark ages with a platform built on modern technology. We’re demystifying pensions to make pension saving easy to understand, simple to manage, and genuinely valuable for savers and the businesses that support them. We’re a focused team of 50 based primarily across London and Tallinn, and have raised significant funding from some of the most successful FinTech investors in the world. We manage over £1bn of pension assets for over 100,000 savers and thousands of businesses, working with thousands of businesses and a growing network of accountants and financial intermediaries. We’re scaling fast, and partnerships are a huge part of how we grow. As we scale, we’re strengthening our sales team with a dedicated Account Executive focused on accountants and intermediaries. As an Account Executive - Accountant & Intermediary Partnerships, you’ll be responsible for converting qualified accountants, bookkeepers, and IFAs into active Penfold advocates. You won’t be cold-calling employers. Instead, you’ll work with SDRs who book meetings with accountants and intermediaries, and you’ll own the first substantive conversation: understanding their practice, their clients, and their existing pension workflows, then showing them how and why Penfold is the right solution to recommend. Your goal is simple: to win trust, drive conviction, and enable accountants and IFAs to place Penfold with their clients.
