Job description

The job hunting process is sh*t so we flipped it on its head. With Jumpstart, sales roles at high-growth startups find you.

Right now, we're hiring a Founding SDR, the first full-time sales hire at an AI startup growing 30% month on month.

The product automates payment allocation for small businesses on Xero and QuickBooks. It has 50+ customers across the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand, and US demand is already more than half of its growth.

What you'll do:

• Make high-volume calls to finance teams and bookkeeping firms in the UK and US
• Qualify prospects and book demos into the founder's calendar
• Sit in on demos, then run them yourself once you know the product

Is this you?

• 1-2 years in a high-volume calling or SDR role, ideally selling to SMBs
• Motivated by commission, coachable and happy to work independently
• Want to move into closing deals within 6-12 months

How does Jumpstart work?

We help early-career salespeople land roles at the UK's most exciting VC-backed startups and scaleups.

• Roles, curated: skip the job boards and the applications that go nowhere. You'll hear back within days.
• Founders pitch to you: founder videos show you the role, the team and what they need before you commit to a conversation.
• Startups apply to you: companies that like your profile send you interview requests.
• No recruiters in the middle: when the interest is mutual, we introduce you straight to the founder or hiring lead.
• Respect for your time: a CV and a 45-minute screening call with us to get started.

Once you're in, you get access to SDR, BDR, Business Development and Founding GTM roles from Pre-Seed to Series B+, and around half of them aren't advertised anywhere else.
