The strongest SDRs do more than simply make calls. They research their market, understand who they are targeting, adapt their approach and consistently find ways to get the right people into conversations.

A market with genuine momentum

Apprenticeships have become an increasingly important part of how organisations develop skills and build future talent.

Businesses are looking for new ways to develop existing employees, bring new talent into their organisations and address skills gaps across areas including technology, digital, data and leadership.

QA helps organisations do that.

That means you’ll be approaching businesses with a proposition that directly connects to workforce development, skills and future capability.

And with QA already working with organisations across the UK and globally, you’ll have a recognised brand and strong customer stories behind you when opening new conversations.

We’ll invest in your development too

QA is a learning business, so development is not just something we sell to customers.

You’ll have access to:

• Structured sales training and ongoing coaching
• Support from experienced sales leaders
• QA-authored technology and business learning
• Dedicated development opportunities
• Training across apprenticeships, workforce development and QA’s wider solutions
• Opportunities to develop your commercial career within the wider sales organisation

You’ll be expected to bring the drive, resilience and willingness to learn.

QA will give you the environment, coaching and tools to develop.

Who tends to do well here?

We’re looking for people who are:

• Motivated by targets and achievement
• Comfortable creating opportunities from scratch
• Confident speaking with new people over the phone, email and LinkedIn
• Resilient when conversations do not go their way
• Curious and willing to ask questions
• Positive, proactive and self-motivated
• Organised and good at managing follow-ups
• Comfortable learning new systems and sales tools
• Coachable and keen to improve
• Motivated by developing a career in sales

You do not need years of sales experience.

You might already have experience in sales, recruitment, customer service, retail, hospitality or another environment where communication, resilience and relationship-building matter. More important is your mindset.

We want people who enjoy creating opportunities, are comfortable starting conversations and are motivated by turning effort into results.

The opportunity

If you enjoy speaking with people, like the challenge of opening new doors and want to build a career in B2B sales, this is an opportunity to do that with a recognised brand and a strong proposition behind you.

You’ll be joining a team where performance matters, development is taken seriously and your success is directly connected to the new business you create.

This will require you to be onsite 3 days pw (Mon/Tues/Thurs) and the rest remote.

Your wellbeing matters to us. That’s why we offer benefits designed to help you recharge and thrive, including:

• 27 days Annual Leave (4 days used for the festive closure) plus Bank Holidays
