We don’t have a definite checklist of skills – our hiring process is much more about aptitude and passion than ticking boxes. So don’t worry if you haven’t used a particular tool or checked off all the listed skills and experience.

What we’re looking for

• Have a strong background in a high volume phone role
• Have experience working to targets - driven inbound or proactive outbound sales environment and have an excellent record of exceeding targets
• Can build rapport over the telephone, with strong communication skills, able to forge strong relationships with customers and prospect customers
• Understand that we are passionate about adding value to our customers and prospects
• In a competitive environment your ability to ask dynamic and probing questions to uncover needs (and latent needs) is a critical communication skill you must be willing to continually develop
• You will be passionate about being curious! The more you can learn about customers/ prospects needs, budget and buying process the more successful you will be at aligning our products to them.
• Understand the value of managing your time effectively. You will have to organise your day effectively and have the discipline to ensure you achieve your daily call criteria and KPIs that will ensure you exceed your revenue growth targets

You’ll love it here if:

• Thrive navigating ambiguity and finding clarity in uncertain situations.

• Enjoy in a fast-paced environment where change happens quickly.
• Are solutions-focused and driven to overcome challenges.
• Embrace resilience and adapt to setbacks with a positive attitude.
• Are intellectually curious, constantly seeking to learn, explore new ideas, and not afraid to question and improve your understanding.

You may not enjoy working here if:

• Prefer a more structured, slow-moving environment.
• Feel most comfortable when tasks and processes are clearly defined from the start.
• Struggle with handling multiple challenges at once or adapting to frequent changes.
• Tend to stick strictly to your defined role and avoid contributing outside of your responsibilities.

Recruitment process

• Screen & Intro: 30-minute video call with the Talent Team to discuss the role and your experience.
• First Interview: 60-minute interview with the Inside Sales Manager and someone from the people team. A general Q&A, assessing role and culture fit.
