About Zelt

At Zelt, we are not just building HR software. We are reinventing how modern companies run HR, payroll, IT, and finance. We are at a pivotal moment: scaling rapidly, backed by top investors, and expanding our footprint in the United Kingdom and beyond.

To support this growth, we are expanding our commercial team with Account Executives who focus on doing demos, closing high-value deals, and shaping how we sell at scale.

Why this role:

This is a rare chance to sell a high-impact, technically ambitious product in one of the largest software markets globally. The product is strong, market traction is real, and our SDR team will be generating qualified pipeline for you to convert. Your focus will be on doing demos and closing deals in the UK and internationally, while occasionally running the full cycle yourself when needed.

You’ll work directly with the CEO and collaborate closely with Product and Growth on strategic deals, GTM strategy, and playbooks. This is a role for someone who thrives on momentum, wants to own outcomes, and is motivated by the opportunity to define what great sales looks like at Zelt.

Your role:

  • Be the face of Zelt for prospects in the UK and internationally
  • Lead qualified prospects through deep discovery, tailored demos, negotiation, and close
  • Partner closely with SDRs, who manage prospecting and first qualification, to maximise pipeline conversion
  • Occasionally manage full-cycle deals from initial outreach to close
  • Collaborate with Product and Growth to refine GTM strategy and sales playbooks
  • Track pipeline performance and share insights directly with the CEO


What we are looking for:

  • Experience in SaaS sales, ideally with mid-market or enterprise deals 
  • Proven track record of closing deals and exceeding targets
  • Strong communication and storytelling skills with C-level stakeholders
  • Hands-on CRM usage and disciplined pipeline management
  • Experience running full-cycle deals, with a structured and thoughtful approach
  • Self-motivated, curious, and always improving your sales craft


Why join Zelt:

  • Sell a differentiated, technically excellent product in a massive market
  • Focus on doing demos and closing deals, supported by a dedicated SDR team
  • Work directly with the CEO and leadership on strategic opportunities
  • Help shape the sales playbook and culture — this is a builder’s role
  • Fast feedback, zero politics, and the chance to define how great SaaS sales is done at Zelt


Let’s build something better! If you are ready to take ownership, close meaningful deals, and sell something you genuinely believe in, we want to hear from you.

UAV & Drone Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the UK UAV (uncrewed aerial vehicle) and drone jobs market is maturing fast. The “shiny new toy” phase is over. Public expectations and regulation are tougher, budgets are more closely scrutinised, and clients want measurable outcomes – safer inspections, faster data, lower costs, better evidence – not just impressive footage. At the same time, demand for UAV services in infrastructure inspection, construction, energy, agriculture, emergency response, defence and media continues to grow. Long-term trends like asset digitisation, smart cities, and net-zero infrastructure all rely on high-quality aerial data and remote operations. The result: fewer opportunistic one-off drone gigs, and more emphasis on professional UAV operations, data workflows and compliant, scalable services. Whether you’re: A job seeker looking for “UAV jobs in the UK”, “drone pilot jobs UK”, or “remote UAS operator roles”, or A recruiter or hiring manager trying to understand “UAV hiring trends 2026” and “how to hire drone pilots and UAS engineers”, …this guide breaks down what’s changing – and what to do about it.

UAV (Drones) Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK unmanned aviation (UAV/UAS/RPAS) hiring has shifted from aircraft‑type buzzwords to capability‑driven evaluation across flight ops, autonomy, data products, safety & regulatory compliance. Employers want proof you can plan, fly, analyse and scale UAV systems safely and economically—VLOS/A2 CofC, GVC, BVLOS & SORA ops, UTM integrations, command‑and‑control resilience, sense‑and‑avoid, payload pipelines, and fleet reliability. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for UAV pilots/ops managers, flight test engineers, autonomy/perception, GNC/control, UTM/backend, safety & airworthiness, data processing/analysis, and field engineering roles. Who this is for: UAV pilots & flight ops, mission planners, flight test & safety engineers, autonomy/SLAM/perception, GNC/control engineers, embedded/avionics, communications & C2 links, UTM/airspace integrations, data processing (imagery/LiDAR/thermal), GIS/photogrammetry, maintenance & field techs, and programme/product managers in the UK.

Why UAV (Drone) Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have seen rapid adoption across sectors in the UK — agriculture, logistics, inspection, mapping, delivery, search & rescue, environmental monitoring, media, defence, and more. As UAV use proliferates, the roles supporting them are shifting. Modern UAV careers are no longer just about aerodynamics, electronics or autopilot algorithms. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design — because flying machines in public airspace must be safe, trusted, legal, intuitive and well communicated. In this article, we’ll explore why UAV careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with UAV work, and what job-seekers & employers should do to adapt.
