Sales Development Representative
About us
SFG20 is the industry standard for building maintenance. Providing services and pioneering technologies that empower people to create and sustain safer buildings.
Our mission is to make buildings better using our standard, software, and expertise. Our vision is to become the leading authority for built environment maintenance that protects and enhances quality of life.
About the role
Do you love the challenge of opening doors, starting conversations, and turning cold prospects into warm opportunities?
At SFG20, we're looking for a tenacious, commercially-minded Sales Development Representative to join our growing New Business team.
This isn't a lead-following role. This is a true outbound SDR position, where you'll own pipeline generation, build relationships with senior decision-makers, and create opportunities through smart, strategic prospecting.
As the industry standard for building maintenance, we're transforming the built environment through our software, expertise, and standards. Now we need someone with a genuine hunter mentality to help us reach even more organisations.
📍 Hybrid role with travel to our Manchester office twice per month.
Key Responsibilities
Pipeline Generation (Outbound-Led)
- Build a high-quality pipeline through structured outbound prospecting into target accounts aligned with SFG20’s Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).
- Identify, prioritise, and systematically engage key accounts using multiple channels (phone, email, LinkedIn, strategic research).
- Map organisations to identify stakeholders, decision-makers, and influencers, clarifying account structures and opportunities.
- Run proactive outreach aligned with defined sales plays and industry value propositions.
- Own early-stage opportunity development, moving prospects from initial engagement to qualified pipeline.
Qualification & Sales Framework Alignment
- Qualify opportunities using defined frameworks (e.g., MEDDICC/BANT) to ensure pipeline meets clear criteria.
- Validate customer pain points, business drivers, decision processes, and commercial potential.
- Ensure opportunities fit SFG20’s ICP, showing clear need and buying intent.
- Maintain pipeline quality by challenging and disqualifying where needed.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
