Job description

Every single day in the UK, there are 65,000 attempted cyber-attacks on small businesses—4,500 of which succeed. That’s where this Leeds‑based cyber security scale‑up comes in.

Since launching in 2014, this company has created a cutting‑edge platform that helps SMEs defend themselves against the kind of threats that can shut a business down in seconds. With demand for cyber protection skyrocketing, they’re growing fast—looking to double in size in the next 12 months.

If you’re a graduate with ambition, drive, and a curious mind, this is your chance to break into one of the world’s fastest‑growing tech sectors, with a company that truly invests in its people.

What’s in It for You?

Structured Career Path

• Fast-track promotion opportunities within your first 12 months
• Ongoing sales training and mentorship from experienced leaders

Earning Potential

• Base salary of £25,000–£29,000 (depending on experience)
• Uncapped commission – many first-year SDRs hit £35k+, with top performers earning £40k–£50k+

Time Off + Flexibility

• 24 days’ holiday (plus Bank Holidays) – increases over time
• Buy, sell, or roll over days for maximum flexibility

Team Culture

• Monthly socials (think go-karting, escape rooms, team dinners)
• Friendly, supportive team in a non-corporate environment

Unique Product in a Growing Market

• Be part of a booming £300bn+ global cyber security market
• Work with a product that genuinely makes a difference to businesses

The Role

You’ll be at the front line of the business, generating opportunities and opening doors. Typical tasks include:

• Researching and identifying potential customers across the UK
• Reaching out to them via cold calling, email, and LinkedIn
• Booking software demos or trials with IT leaders and Heads of InfoSec
• Learning how to articulate the value of cyber security in clear, engaging ways
• Generating around 15 qualified leads per month (with training & support!)

This role is all about building relationships, staying curious, and being resilient.

The Candidate

We don’t expect you to know everything about cyber security – we’ll teach you that. What we do look for is:

Drive – You're ambitious, competitive, and want to build a long-term career in sales

Resilience – You’re not put off by challenges or a few rejections

Communication Skills – You can hold your own in conversation, both written and verbal

Coachability – You're eager to learn, open to feedback, and quick to improve

Education – A degree is a bonus but not essential; we care more about attitude and aptitude

Next Steps

This is your chance to get in on the ground floor of a growing tech company in a market that isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
