Strategic SDR
Department: Outbound (SDR)
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Zinc - London
Compensation: £40,000 - £50,000 / year
Description
This role is an exciting opportunity to be part of a 🚀 fast-growing team driving Zinc’s mission to revolutionise background checking. With three years of consistent 2x year-on-year growth 📈—and plans to do it again—you’ll play a key role in our continued success.
We’re looking for a high-impact Strategic SDR to fuel our revenue growth by generating and qualifying pipeline with mid-market and enterprise clients.
Why This Role
This is a step up in complexity: you're moving beyond transactional SDR work into strategic, multi-threaded selling, targeting upper mid-market accounts and expanding into small enterprise, where deals are bigger, buying groups are bigger, and the win matters more.
You'll have a GTM engineer in-house building tooling and automation to make your outreach smarter, not just louder, plus a strong, tight-knit team around you to learn from and push you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Responsibilities 🗝️
- Own outbound strategy across our upper mid-market and small enterprise segments: cold calls, cold emails, and smart LinkedIn engagement that actually cuts through.
- Go deep on target accounts, map complex buying groups, and tailor outreach that lands with senior stakeholders.
- Qualify leads and drive deal progression shoulder-to-shoulder with our AEs. You're not just booking meetings, you're shaping the pipeline.
- Partner with Marketing & Partnerships on campaigns and events that give you real air cover.
- Work data-first: use Hubspot, Outreach, and our in-house GTM engineering support to build smarter sequences, sharper targeting, and a pipeline that compounds.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise 🚀
- 3+ years in outbound SDR roles (B2B SaaS or similar), with proven success targeting senior stakeholders inside complex organisations.
- Comfortable operating MEDPIC, Outreach, Hubspot, and Sales Navigator.
- Sharp writing, confident calling, strong commercial instincts, and the coachability to keep getting better.
- We care more about potential and attitude than pedigree. We hire across multiple SDR levels and level you up through a structured interview and scoring process.
