Why join us?

Find your purpose, be authentic, and inspire change. We are a purpose-driven recruitment company committed to 'conscious recruitment', prioritizing people, planet, and progress. We donate 3% of every placement to our local community and environment, and provide our staff with 6 days annually to volunteer.

As a young company just three years old, we offer extensive exposure in a scale-up environment, having grown 44% year-on-year. There are abundant opportunities for progression as we expand, and we've received awards like 'Best Start-Up' and 'Business of the Year'.

How you'll make an impact

Our community of finance leaders in the South-West is central to our operations. We need a natural connector who thrives on engaging conversations and identifies opportunities in every interaction.

• Identify and invite podcast guests, speakers, and rising stars to enhance our market presence.
• Utilize our content tools, including salary guides and market reports, to provide leaders with a competitive edge.
• Manage the entire sales funnel from initial contact to signed agreements, ensuring seamless handover to Talent Delivery.
• Maintain detailed records of interactions in Vincere CRM and analyze data for continuous improvement.
• Promote Core3's B Corp ethos, demonstrating that profit, people, and planet can thrive together.

Why we're excited about you

We seek driven individuals aligned with our values, who bring fresh perspectives and believe in the broader role of business in society. If you are:

• Resilient, curious, and growth-oriented, viewing setbacks as learning opportunities and wins as shared successes.
• Having at least 2 years of experience in outbound sales, especially with face-to-face interactions.
• A consultative business developer who listens and crafts tailored solutions.
• Comfortable engaging with CFOs and FDs, with strong commercial awareness.
• A natural networker energized by connecting with people and attentive to details.
• A polished communicator capable of creating compelling LinkedIn content and leading discussions.
• Purpose-driven, valuing impact alongside profit.

What you'll get in return

We prioritize our people, offering competitive pay, benefits, tools, and a positive work environment, fostering a healthy culture. Benefits include:

• £30,000 - £40,000 basic salary.
• Uncapped commission, with at least one-third of billings earned.
