Job description

About Us

Evolved-Ideas are a UK-headquartered software development partner working across Europe, helping ambitious organisations design, build, and scale digital platforms that truly support their business goals. With decades of experience developing mobile apps, web platforms, APIs, and AI-driven systems for organisations that understand technology is a strategic advantage - not a costcentre.

We have delivery teams across the UK, Spain, and Ukraine. As we continue to grow our UK presence, we are expanding our team and are looking for a driven Sales Development Representative to support our outbound sales efforts and help fuel our next stage of growth.

The Role

As a Business Development Manager, you will own new business generation within the UK. This is a senior, hands‑on role for someone who thrives in outbound sales, understands complex software development services, and is comfortable owning the full sales cycle—from prospecting through close and early account expansion.

You’ll work directly with founders, CTOs, and senior engineering leaders, positioning Evolved-Ideas as a trusted partner for product delivery and development team growth.

What You’ll Do
  • Drive new business by sourcing and closing high‑potential clients through proactive outbound outreach and ecosystem networking
  • Lead discovery and qualification calls, identifying client challenges and positioning Evolved‑Ideas as a strategic delivery partner
  • Own the full sales cycle, including self‑sourcing, inbound lead management, negotiation, and closing
  • Collaborate with SLT to develop tailored, client‑specific proposals
  • Leverage modern sales and automation tools (e.g. Hubspot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo) to scale outreach and improve efficiency
  • Support a seamless post‑close handover to relevant team and nurture new accounts to ensure long‑term success
What You Bring
  • 3–5 years of experience in B2B software and tech sales with a strong outbound focus (IT services or recruitment sales preferred)
  • Proven ability to manage the full sales cycle from prospecting to close
  • Track record of closing deals and generating revenue
  • Strong understanding of the UK tech ecosystem and experience selling to CTOs and senior technology leaders
  • Proficiency with CRM systems and sales tools such as Hubspot, Apollo and LinkedIn Sales Navigator
  • Curiosity around AI, automation, and modern sales workflows
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills
  • Comfortable operating in a high‑ownership and growth environment
What We Offer
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays to support a healthy work‑life balance.
  • Training budget to foster your professional growth and career development
  • Hybrid working — with flexibility to balance home and office time
  • Join a team that values collaboration, creativity, and bold ideas
