Sales Development Representative (SDR)
We are searching for an ambitious Sales Development Representative (SDR) to join a fast-growing, early-stage AI SaaS business in Leeds. This is more than a traditional SDR role, offering the opportunity to work directly with the Founder and Sales Lead, build qualified pipeline through intelligent, personalised outbound activity, and contribute towards the business’s wider go-to-market (GTM) activity.
Rather than relying on high-volume, scripted outreach, you’ll research markets, identify the right businesses and decision-makers, and create meaningful conversations across phone, email and LinkedIn. As your product knowledge grows, you’ll gain exposure to product demonstrations, existing customers and more of the sales cycle, with a clear opportunity to progress towards an Account Executive role.
Compensation
- Up to £35,000 per annum, negotiable dependent on experience
- Uncapped commission with realistic earning potential of £15,000+
- Equity in a fast-growing technology business
- Based in Leeds - Hybrid working (3-4 office days per week)
- 25 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays
- Access to best-in-class software and tools to help you perform at your best
- Direct access to the Founder, structured progression towards Account Executive, opportunity to contribute to marketing, LinkedIn content and wider GTM growth activity.
