Strategic SDR
Department: Outbound (SDR)
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.
You’ll go beyond basic outreach—this is a role for someone who thrives on unlocking real business value, speaks the language of senior stakeholders, and knows how to deliver commercial impact.
Key Responsibilities 🔑
What You’ll Do:
- 📳 Own outbound strategy: cold calls, cold emails, and smart LinkedIn engagement
- 📖 Deep dive into accounts, map buying groups, and tailor outreach
- 🧠 Qualify leads and support deal progression with AEs
- 🤝 Work closely with Marketing & Partnerships on campaigns and events
- 📈 Use Hubspot, Outreach, and data to optimise your pipeline

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.
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise 🤩⚡️💎
