What makes us different
- We break new ground. You'll work on innovative projects using the latest technologies before they hit the mainstream. We celebrate calculated risks and learn fast from every experiment.
- We get stuck in together. Genuine collaboration across all departments. Your ideas matter here, regardless of your role or how long you've been with us.

- We own it. Full accountability and autonomy over your work means you'll build client relationships, see real-world impact, and be recognised when you go the extra mile.

We’re the front line of CTI’s growth, focused on opening doors and building the foundations for lasting partnerships.
What you’ll be doing
You'll be responsible for building and maintaining a healthy top of the sales funnel by proactively identifying, engaging and qualifying new business opportunities. Working closely with Business Development Managers and the wider Commercial team, you'll generate high-quality meetings through outbound prospecting, account research, networking and targeted outreach. This role is focused on creating a consistent pipeline of qualified opportunities that progress into strategy sessions, audits and ultimately larger implementation projects and long-term client relationships.
