Senior SDR / BDR

Company: Dandelion Civilization

Headquarters: Dubai, UAE

Employment Type: Full-time, Remote

Level: Senior Individual Contributor

Compensation: Competitive, with performance-based component

About the Company

Dandelion Civilization develops an AI-powered platform for talent assessment, employee development and human capital management. By combining digital simulations, behavioural analytics and AI, we help organisations make better hiring decisions and build data-driven employee development programmes. We are expanding our international commercial team and are looking for an experienced prospecting professional who can consistently create qualified enterprise sales opportunities.

About the Role

The Senior SDR / BDR is responsible for building qualified pipeline through systematic outbound business development. You will independently identify high-value accounts, reach senior decision-makers, develop relevant outreach approaches and convert initial conversations into qualified commercial opportunities. This role requires more than high outreach volume. We expect strong account research, commercial judgement and the ability to understand a prospect's business context before involving the Sales Executive.

Key Responsibilities

  • Identify and prioritise target accounts and decision-makers
  • Build and execute outbound prospecting strategies
  • Conduct calls, LinkedIn outreach and personalised email campaigns
  • Engage CEOs, HR Directors, Talent leaders, L&D leaders and other senior stakeholders
  • Conduct initial discovery and qualify business opportunities
  • Generate a consistent pipeline of qualified meetings
  • Develop account-specific messaging and outreach approaches
  • Maintain accurate CRM data and pipeline visibility
  • Test and improve prospecting approaches based on results
  • Share customer, market and competitor insights with Sales and Product teams

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.
