Our mission is to connect experienced, senior professionals with meaningful, short-term or project-based roles where their wisdom can create real impact. In doing so, we help individuals extend their sense of purpose — and help businesses access hard-won expertise they couldn’t otherwise afford full-time. The UK, with its ageing population and vibrant SME and private equity sectors, is an ideal market for our offering. As a start-up , we are building from the ground up — and looking for someone who is eager to be part of that journey. The Role We are hiring our first dedicated sales leader : a Sales Director – UK to lead our client acquisition efforts. This is a part-time, high-autonomy role suited for a senior commercial professional who thrives in a hands-on environment. You will be responsible for identifying, engaging, and closing business with target companies — particularly small and medium enterprises , including private equity-backed portfolio companies and businesses preparing for investment . These organisations often face capability gaps or short-term challenges that can be addressed by the experienced talent in our network. This is an opportunity to shape and build a sales function from scratch , with the support of a purpose-driven and entrepreneurial team. Key Responsibilities Develop and execute a sales strategy for the UK, focusing on SMEs and companies within or adjacent to the private equity ecosystem. Build a client pipeline from the ground up through direct outreach, networking, and referrals. Engage senior decision-makers and articulate the value of short-term, experienced talent to solve real business challenges. Work closely with the internal team to deliver the right talent matches and ensure client success. Provide insight and feedback to help shape our go-to-market model, messaging, and product offerings in the UK. Who You Are A self-starter with a strong network in the UK’s SME and/or private equity community. Commercially sharp, persuasive, and able to open doors at the C-suite or founder level. Comfortable in a start-up environment — willing to roll up your sleeves, experiment, and drive progress with limited resources. Experienced in B2B sales — ideally in consulting, professional services, talent solutions, or HR tech. Genuinely aligned to WisdomCircle’s mission — to unlock the potential of experienced professionals and connect them with purposeful work. Compensation Structure Fixed Retainer: A modest monthly fee for time and availability. Variable Compensation: A generous commission structure based on successful client engagements — rewarding results, not hours. Why Join Us Be the first sales hire in a start-up with a compelling mission and growing momentum. Enjoy flexibility and autonomy — this is not a full-time role , making it ideal for someone with a portfolio career or in semi-retirement. Help shape a new category of work — enabling businesses to access wisdom and experience on demand. Interested? Send your CV and a brief note explaining your interest toeurope@.
