About BeyondWords

Information shapes us, and at BeyondWords we aim to give people power to explore what matters most to them. 

We’re an AI audio platform building voice cloning, audio generation and distribution tools for modern news publishers.

We’re obsessed with helping publishers of news, research, and insights connect with their audiences, broadening the reach and engagement of their articles. 

Since launching, we’ve made millions of articles listenable, working with some of the world’s leading news publishing brands.

We’re a hybrid team of 9, bridging software, machine learning and language - with a small office next to Piccadilly Circus, London. 

The role

We're looking for a Head of Sales to join our team and drive our next phase of growth. This is a unique opportunity to own the entire sales process, leveraging modern sales tools to maximize your impact.

You'll work directly with the CEO and growth team to identify and capture new opportunities, while collaborating with our Head of Customer Operations to ensure long-term customer success. 

This isn't your traditional sales role - we're looking for someone who can combine strategic thinking with tactical execution, using the latest tech stack to amplify their efforts.

We're looking for someone with the audacity of a honeybadger, who's creative, results-driven and wants to help shape the future of AI audio publishing.

Your mission:

  • Strategic prospecting: Research and qualify potential leads within our target market, building and maintaining a targeted contact list using modern sales intelligence tools
  • Sales execution: Drive the full sales cycle from qualification to close, helping self-serve customers find their ideal pricing while negotiating enterprise contracts with the CEO.
  • Growth engineering: Leverage and optimise modern sales tools to create scalable processes for customer acquisition, implementing automation where it makes sense
  • Strategic partnership: Work closely with our Head of Customer Operations to ensure smooth customer handoffs and identify expansion opportunities
  • Market intelligence: Gather and synthesise prospect feedback, objections, and market trends to help shape our product and go-to-market strategy

Requirements

What we're looking for:

  • You've proven yourself in B2B SaaS sales and are excited about pushing the boundaries of what one person can achieve with modern sales tools
  • You thrive on building relationships - from senior decision makers to internal product teams - translating complex technical benefits into clear customer value
  • You're systematic in your approach, building and optimising processes that scale
  • You have hands-on experience with modern sales tools (Attio, LinkedIn Sales Navigator etc) and are always exploring new ways to enhance your workflow
  • You're equally comfortable diving into data to uncover insights, leading high-stakes presentations, or providing feedback to shape product development
  • You bring an owner's mindset - taking initiative, solving problems, and driving results without needing constant direction
  • You're energised by the intersection of sales and product, using customer insights to influence our roadmap

Benefits

  • £60,000 base (OTE £120,000 uncapped)
  • Equity through stock options
  • 25 days PTO plus public holidays
  • Flexible hybrid working
  • Regular team meetups and social events
  • Joining a fast-moving startup at a pivotal growth stage

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.
