Job description

This company is a trusted technology partner to some of the UK's most recognisable enterprise and public sector organisations — from NHS trusts and local government to major retail and financial services brands. For over 20 years, they've helped regulated, high-stakes organisations stay resilient, secure, and future-ready, combining managed IT services, cyber security consultancy, and cloud infrastructure expertise under one roof.

The Role

As a Sales Development Representative, you'll be the first point of contact for prospective clients, generating and qualifying new business opportunities for the sales team. You'll research target organisations, open conversations with key decision-makers, and help build a healthy pipeline of opportunities across sectors like healthcare, financial services, retail, and the public sector.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone early in their sales career who wants to build a foundation in B2B technology sales, within a business that genuinely invests in its people.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Proactively identifying and reaching out to prospective clients via phone, email, LinkedIn, and other channels
• Qualifying inbound leads generated through marketing campaigns and events
• Booking meetings and demos for the wider sales team
• Researching target accounts and industries to tailor outreach effectively
• Maintaining accurate records of activity and pipeline in the CRM
• Working closely with the Marketing and Sales teams to refine messaging and outreach strategy
• Hitting and exceeding monthly activity and pipeline targets

What We're Looking For

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
• A confident, resilient, and self-motivated approach to outreach and cold conversations
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Curiosity about technology, cyber security, or IT services (prior experience is a bonus, not a requirement)
• A team player who thrives in a fast-paced, target-driven environment
• Previous experience in a sales, customer service, or outreach role is desirable but not essential — we're happy to invest in the right attitude

What You'll Get

• £32,000 base salary plus uncapped commission
• Hybrid working: 3 days in their central Manchester office, 2 days from home
• Structured onboarding and ongoing sales training and mentorship
• Genuine progression pathway into full-cycle sales roles
• The chance to work with major enterprise and public sector brands from day one
• A supportive, collaborative culture within a growing, accredited technology business
