Job description

£30,000 –£32,000 Base Salary + Uncapped Commission

Looking for a career where your personality, confidence, and ambition can directly impact your success? Do you enjoy speaking with new people, building relationships, and opening doors to new opportunities? Are you naturally curious, driven, and eager to develop valuable commercial skills?

We're partnering with a leading organisation that is looking to hire ambitious individuals to join their growing team as Sales Development Representatives (SDRs). No previous sales experience is required. Instead, we're looking for motivated people with excellent communication skills, a positive attitude, and a genuine desire to learn.

Whether you're a recent graduate, finishing college, or looking to start your first professional career, this is an excellent opportunity to join a company that will invest heavily in your development and provide a clear pathway for progression into Account Executive, Business Development, and leadership positions.

Role Responsibilities

As a Graduate Sales Development Representative, you'll be responsible for identifying and engaging potential customers, generating interest in the company's solutions, and creating opportunities for the wider sales team. You'll be the first point of contact for prospective clients, helping to build relationships, understand business challenges, and qualify opportunities. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys speaking with people, is naturally competitive, and wants to develop a successful career in sales. This isn't about aggressive selling—it's about building connections, creating meaningful conversations, and helping businesses discover solutions that can support their growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively reaching out to prospective clients via phone, email, LinkedIn, and other channels
• Building relationships with decision-makers and key stakeholders
• Identifying and qualifying new business opportunities
• Booking meetings and generating sales opportunities for the Account Executive team
• Understanding customer challenges and business objectives
• Maintaining accurate records within the CRM system
• Working closely with sales and marketing teams to maximise pipeline generation
• Learning consultative selling, prospecting, and business development skills

About You

We're looking for individuals who are:

• Confident, personable, and enthusiastic
• Excellent communicators who enjoy engaging with others
• Resilient and comfortable working towards targets
• Naturally curious and eager to learn
• Motivated by career progression and earning potential
• Proactive, ambitious, and self-driven
• Positive, coachable, and team-oriented

What's on Offer?

• £30,000 – £32,000 basic salary
• Uncapped commission structure
• Comprehensive sales training and ongoing development
• Clear progression pathway into Account Executive and senior sales roles
• Supportive and collaborative team culture
• Modern and dynamic working environment
• Exposure to recognised brands and businesses
• Genuine opportunities for long‑term career growth

The SDR role is one of the best entry points into a commercial career. It provides a strong foundation in communication, relationship building, business development, and consultative selling.

The skills you'll develop as an SDR are highly sought after across every industry and can lead to opportunities in Account Executive, Business Development Management, Sales Leadership, Account Management, and broader commercial roles.

Ready to get started? If you're looking for more than just a job and want to build a successful career with a company that values attitude, potential, and ambition, we'd love to hear from you.

We believe that diversity makes us stronger and more innovative. We warmly welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
