Hybrid working model (3 days+ in office per week) Privately-owned companies play a vital role in the UK's economic growth, both at a local and national level. We've spent years supplying top-tier data on these companies to the public sector – and we're looking for an experienced AE to help us go further with central government, universities and local authorities. About Beauhurst We're building the leading provider of private company data and analysis in Europe. Private companies represent 80% of private sector employment and over 90% of revenues across Europe. They are the engine of innovation and the source of most of the jobs and tax receipts in the economy. Yet for anyone trying to find, track or understand them, the data is a mess – outdated, inconsistent, scattered across thousands of sources, and impossible to verify by hand at any meaningful scale. We've spent 15 years fixing this. We use custom-built data extraction tools and pipelines, proprietary AI, and a team of 60+ in-house analysts to identify, extract and verify data from thousands of sources – covering 20 million companies, 24 million people, 232,000 transactions, and 1,000+ new news articles a day. Our platform, API, and consultancy services are trusted by our clients to enable them to make better decisions, drive revenue, reduce risk, and save time. Founded in 2010, we work with over 500 UK organisations across venture capital, major financial institutions, corporates, leading universities, and the Government. We're not stopping here.
