Job description

Foundations Executive Search is a boutique and Leadership focused Recruitment Firm that specialises in Technology recruitment, with a particular focused Cybersecurity. Founded in 2020, we possess a combined 30+ years in Recruitment and are home to former “Top-Billers” and high-achievers from leading recruitment agencies within the UK.

We operate across both permanent and contract assignments and work with clients on single engagements through to multi-program level hiring on a contingent, retained, SoW and RPO/on-site basis.

As a business, our mission is a simple message: we aim to seamlessly connect the right businesses with the right people. While businesses inevitably adapt to markets, change in size, and undergo cultural shifts, we firmly believe that the right individuals will always remain, as long as there is a strong foundation in place.

The Role:

As we continue to invest in the growth of our business in our pursuit to match top quality Cybersecurity talent, we are looking for someone who can assist in business development, in a hands‑on capacity. Within this role, you will work alongside our Founder and Head of Business Development, who has already laid out the plans and has identified companies of interest in line with our vision of growth.

Objectives and Key Results (OKR):

• Call through the target list of companies/clients
• Book meetings for our Founder to attend
• Utilise our various tools for communication
• Add Sales leads onto our system
• Gain further market intelligence and market insight into who is hiring and general trends
• Build relationships with target clients
• Assist in further growth of our CRM with new contacts added

Typical Monthly KPIs:

• Book 10 New Business meetings with Clients
• Agree Terms with 2 new businesses
• Pull 4 Jobs (either yourself or through meetings booked with our Founder)
• Add 20 leads onto the CRM

What’s on offer:

Now is a brilliant time to join a truly collaborative and people focused business, whose client base already consists of a number of household name brands. We are seeking someone who can be a part of our Foundations for the long‑term, where we can assist in your own personal growth, development and essentially, financial rewards!

In order to aid your success, you will not only have daily communication and hands‑on support from the wider business, you will also have access to our client database and the relevant tools, marketing materials, software and licenses in order to reach out and connect with your target clients.

We are looking for someone that we can help develop and grow, so that you are eventually responsible for the meetings and full sales lifecycle, with the ability to eventually sell our range of services and solutions.

Skills and Experience we are seeking:

• 2 years’ Business Development experience
• Knowledge and/or interest within the Cybersecurity market
• Demonstrable background in winning new business
• Excellent communication and team working skills

Foundations Executive Search is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, abilities, and identities.
