About the role
This role sits within our Managed Solutions business, a fast-growing part of Deloitte focused on supporting high-growth startups and scaleups. We embed sales and operational professionals into client teams to deliver high-impact revenue outcomes. As an SDR, you will operate as part of an embedded client sales team, working directly with client stakeholders and contributing to their pipeline generation. You will typically work closely with one client at a time, but unlike most SDR roles, you will gain experience across a portfolio of fast-growing businesses and broader exposure of Deloitte, where you can benefit from accelerated commercial development and clear progression opportunities.
Job description
We are looking for a driven, high-output SDR with a strong hunter mentality. This is an outbound-first, pipeline generation role where you will be expected to build pipeline from scratch through consistent, high-quality outreach. This is not an inbound or admin-led role—you will be creating opportunities through activity, curiosity and strong qualification.
