Job Description

Are you ready to do more than just hit quota? At Alation, you’ll be the fuel behind our growth engine—owning strategy, prospecting, and influence from day one. This is not your average SDR role.

We’re a pre-IPO, high-growth Data Intelligence company with offices in Redwood City, Lehi, London, and Sydney. We’re looking for a Senior SDR to join our team in London who’s not just ready to connect with prospects, but shape how we reach them.

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.
