Let’s Do This

Let’s Do This

Sales & Business Development
London, UK
Posted on Jun 30, 2023

Let’s Do This was launched in 2017. Our vision is to inspire more people to have epic experiences than any other community on the planet by the end of 2025. We want to be the online company that gets everyone offline. The first vertical we have focused on is mass participation sports events, where we are the global leader. We believe that experiences are more fun together, and we want to help our users do more epic things in a social context.

We have raised $30M to date and were the fastest growing company on YCombinator, with a record 24 times over subscribed on our seed round. We have attracted investment from the likes of Usain Bolt and Serena Williams, as well as investment from Tier 1 VC’s such as NFX and YC.

We are at an exciting stage of our growth and are obsessed with building the most talented team in the world. We have an exceptional team with experience ranging from London’s fastest growing start-ups, to the world's biggest tech companies, such as Facebook, Google, Deliveroo, King and Skyscanner.

The Team

The Go to Market Team - The team’s mission is to achieve a critical mass of endurance event organisers in the UK by signing them up to our platform. Once on the platform, we aim to turn Event Organisers into evangelists for our brand, referring us to the wider industry as the partner every Organiser needs to work with to expand their reach, capture more bookings, and make their events as epic as they can be. The team comprises Sales, focused on acquiring new Event Organisers, and Partner Success Managers, on hand to onboard, manage and grow partnerships, ensuring retention.

The Role

An integral part of our Go To Market function, you’ll be prospecting, pitching and closing partnerships with new Event Organisers, driving growth across our supply base and thus supporting the business to achieve our ambitious goals.

Highly motivated to exceed targets, and with a commitment to deliver consistent results, you will be ready to develop a strong market knowledge and to ignite a passion for helping Event Organisers to market their events to larger audiences. If you love sport and challenges, great, but it’s your passion to educate, inspire and support an industry to reach its potential using digital marketing that needs to shine through.

Skilled at every part of the sales cycle, you’ll know that to be successful you need to manage your pipeline well, focusing on prospecting, meeting generation, meeting conversion, and setting partners up for a quick and successful onboarding.

As a consultative seller, you will ask the right questions to guide your pitch and to ensure a clear understanding and buy in from the partner when they agree to join. Overcoming objections, you’ll make sure the Event Organiser is invested in the working relationship, setting them up for a seamless onboarding with the Partner Success Team. While focusing obsessively on the numbers, you’ll also be motivated by the long term success of the Organisers you bring onboard, so will sell thoroughly and compellingly.

Our Story...

Launched in 2017, we're an ambitious team motivated by a shared passion for helping people discover and take part in life-changing challenges. We participated in Y Combinator in winter 2018, and since then have raised $30m in funding from leading VC funds and angels and are entering our next phase of growth.

Running, triathlon, cycling, obstacle racing and many other endurance sports are booming, but it's really difficult to find great events. With the largest database of events in the world, and an engaged community of endurance sports enthusiasts, we're making it easy to find great races, whilst helping race organisers to reach new participants.

The pandemic has confirmed what we have always known, that experiences are better and more meaningful when done with others. We are determined to help people engage with more epic experiences, and enhance those experiences further by enabling participation together.
