Role Summary
The Sales Development Representative (SDR) is a high-impact "door opener" responsible for identifying and engaging B2B decision-makers across the UK and US markets. This role exists to drive revenue growth by transforming cold prospects into qualified discovery meetings through personalized, multi-channel outreach. This is a Full-time, Remote (Global) position at a Mid-Level seniority, designed for a self-motivated hunter who thrives on autonomy rather than micromanagement.
Work Setup & Collaboration
Location & Hours: Fully remote and global; requires at least 2 hours of overlap with GMT for asynchronous syncs and team updates.
Autonomy: High level of trust with no surveillance software; success is measured by pipeline movement and output quality rather than activity volume alone.
Collaboration: Direct, asynchronous coordination with the sales team to refine messaging and optimize the transition from prospect to lead.
Process: Operating within a lean, agile environment (11-50 employees) where feedback loops are short and individual ideas are implemented quickly.
What You'll Do
- Research and target B2B decision-makers, including Founders and Heads of Sales, within the professional services sector.
- Execute multi-channel sequences across email, LinkedIn, and cold calls to generate high-intent discovery meetings.
- Craft bespoke outreach that sounds human and demonstrates deep prospect research, avoiding generic templates or scripts.
- Manage the CRM pipeline daily to ensure data integrity and accurate forecasting of sales opportunities.
- Analyze outreach metrics to identify what messaging resonates and pivot strategies accordingly.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with the sales team to ensure a seamless handoff of qualified leads.
- Own the top-of-funnel strategy for assigned territories, acting as the primary voice of the brand for new prospects.
- Iterate on sales collateral based on direct market feedback to improve conversion rates.
