About Beams

We’re building the future of home renovation.

We believe that renovation doesn’t need to be complicated and there’s a better way. Since 2022, Beams has been on a mission to deliver a simpler and greener renovation experience for homeowners and contractors facilitated through a tech first platform. More transparency, more efficiency and more trust between all involved.

Success at Beams comes from our people and our culture. Internally, we have a strong bias for action, we believe in making the complex simple and we never settle for the status quo. We’re fueled by positive energy, fostering a culture of openness and doing the right thing. Both for people and the planet.

About the role

We’ve had incredible growth and as we transition from a start-up to a European enterprise, we need to scale how we sell our renovation projects and establish high growth sales channels.

This is a brilliant opportunity for a smart sales leader with experience of scaling sales teams and channels with a mix of high value, consultative sales and shorter sales assisted cycles. We want someone who is obsessed with driving high performance teams, adept at using data to identify constant improvements and a passion for evolving sales approaches including how we sell and what we sell.
