Who we are
Modern Networks is a leading Managed Service Provider (MSP) and Internet Service Provider (ISP), supporting businesses across the UK with connectivity, IT support, cloud, cyber security and managed technology solutions. Through our specialist Science Parks division, we work with some of the UK's most innovative businesses, helping start-ups, scale-ups and established organisations maximise the value of their technology investments. As our Science Park customer base continues to grow, we are looking for a highly motivated Sales Development Executive to help us increase engagement across our tenant community and create new commercial opportunities.
The Role
The Science Park Sales Development Executive is responsible for creating regular engagement with Science Park tenants, identifying opportunities and generating qualified sales leads for our Account Management team.
Working from our Exeter office, you will spend much of your day speaking with customers, developing relationships and uncovering opportunities for Modern Networks' products and services. Unlike traditional telesales roles, you will be engaging with a warm customer base. Many of the organisations you speak with are already customers of Modern Networks, creating an excellent opportunity to build relationships and identify additional customer needs.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Alongside managing engagement with existing customers, you will also adopt an entrepreneurial approach to identifying and contacting businesses that operate within our Science Park communities but are not yet customers. Success in this role comes from energy, persistence, curiosity and a genuine enjoyment of speaking with customers.
Who are we looking for?
This role is designed for someone at the beginning of their sales career who is looking to build a successful future in professional technology sales. You may currently be working in retail, hospitality, customer service, telesales or another customer-facing role and be ready to take the next step into a high-growth B2B sales environment - we are far more interested in attitude than experience.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
If you are competitive, driven, resilient, enjoy speaking with people and are motivated by the opportunity to earn commission, this could be the ideal role for you. You will receive training, coaching and support from experienced sales professionals whilst building the skills required to progress into Account Management, Business Development and wider commercial roles in the future. For the right person, this role represents the first step in a long-term sales career.
