About us:
YuLife is a tech driven insurance company on a mission to transform insurance into a force for good. We work with employers and insurer partners to deliver group insurance products that people actually engage with, helping shift the industry from claims led to prevention focused outcomes.
Our model combines insurance, technology, and behavioural science to create hyper engaging insurance experiences. Through our award winning platform, employees interact with their insurance every day, building healthier habits while staying protected. This engagement benefits everyone involved. Individuals are more proactive about their health, employers see stronger engagement and retention, and insurers benefit from improved risk profiles over time.
At YuLife, we are building a game changing insurance business with a clear commercial edge and a strong sense of purpose. Our culture reflects that ambition. We are a people first, values led company that believes great products are built by teams who feel trusted, supported, and inspired by the mission they are working on.
If you want to help reinvent a global industry, work on products with real world impact, and build alongside smart, kind, driven people, YuLife is a place where you can do meaningful work and grow with the business.
The role:
As a Sales Development Representative you will be a key contributor to our lean, high-impact team.
You will help YuLife target the best potential clients and educate them on our proposition, opening new sales opportunities for the business.
This role is focused on SME businesses that fit our ideal customer profile, where you'll build genuine relationships and open new pipeline for the business.
SDR-ing isn't always easy: you have to balance conflicting time priorities, accept a certain degree of strategy, play a quality and quantity game, and adjust to ever-changing market conditions, and always keep an eye on the prize (pipeline generation.)
But for those with a bit of grit and a passion for helping organisations drive employee wellbeing, it can be a great role. SDR-ing is a brilliant way to sink one's teeth into a sales career, and we are a people-first team, passionate about learning, developing, and progressing together.
