Job description

You're organised, fast, and commercially sharp. You've worked in admissions, recruitment, or consultative sales managing high volumes without dropping the ball. You know how to qualify quickly, move people through a process, and close. Now you want a role where you're selling something that actually matters – and where there's a clear path to bigger deals and more responsibility. If you want consistent volume, real commission, and a future in B2B sales, we should talk.

Responsibilities

• Managing 8-10 new inbound applications per day
• Running consultative qualification calls – quickly determining fit against funding eligibility and programme suitability
• Guiding applicants through the full journey – initial consultation, assessment, compliance documents, enrolment
• Owning your pipeline in our CRM – nothing slips, nothing gets stale
• Ensuring all funding paperwork is accurate and complete – this role sits at the intersection of sales and compliance
• Hitting a monthly enrolment target of 15-20 learners
• Identifying opportunities to expand within applicants’ organisations – if one person from a company is a fit, others might be too

Career Progression

• Phase 1 (Months 0-6): Master the inbound machine – become an expert on our products, funding rules, and consultative closing.
• Phase 2 (Months 6-12+): Once you’ve proven you can close warm leads consistently, you’ll have the option to move into proactive B2B sales – hunting larger commercial deals and corporate partnerships, with higher commission tiers and strategic responsibility.

Why iO-Sphere

• You're selling something real – our learners finish with genuine capability, not just a certificate.
• High-quality product – we believe education should be a premium experience.
• High-agency culture – no micromanagement; ownership and outcomes.
• Clear progression – a defined path to senior sales within 12 months for people who perform.

Qualifications & Mindset

• 1-2+ years in admissions, recruitment, or consultative sales
• Comfortable with high volume – 8-10 new leads per day, 50-60 dials, constant context-switching
• Process-driven and detail-oriented – you can manage a CRM perfectly while handling complex compliance documents
• Strong communicator who can qualify quickly and build trust fast
• Commercial mindset balanced with genuine empathy – you want to hit target AND help people
• Ambitious – you want to master the basics and move into senior sales
• Energised by pace, not drained by it
• Reliable follow-through – nothing falls through the cracks
• Comfortable in a fast-moving startup environment

Compensation & Location

Salary: £30,000-£40,000 base (depending on experience). Commission: Realistic OTE of £55,000-£65,000 in Year 1 (uncapped). Location: Fully remote or with some time at our office in London near Liverpool St Station. Eligibility: Unrestricted right to work in the UK required. We cannot offer visa sponsorship. At iO-Sphere, we value diversity and believe the best outcomes come from varied backgrounds. If you share our passion, we encourage you to apply.
