Job description

Job title: Sales Development Representative

Location: United Kingdom (Remote)

Employment type: Full-time, permanent

Why this role

A competitive base salary. £40,000 base plus variable pay. You’re paid properly from day one, not just on commission.

A real route to Account Executive. The plan for this role is a classic SDR to AE path. There’s no fixed time you must serve first. Build the pipeline that makes promoting you the obvious decision.

Demand is already there. The UK and EMEA business is growing faster than the team can keep up with, and the region is well ahead of target this year. You won’t be selling into a quiet market.

Shape the function, don’t inherit it. The sales development playbook is still being built. You’ll work with a newly appointed SDR manager and the UK Head of Sales, and your ideas will shape how outbound is done here.

Fully remote, anywhere in the UK. No commute and no relocation, with occasional team meetups to connect in person.

Work that matters. Schools use this software every day to run admissions, learning, records and communication with families.

A strong package. 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, matched pension, private medical insurance, and enhanced sick pay and family leave.

About the company

Our client is a global EdTech SaaS company. Their software helps independent schools around the world run their day-to-day operations. They are expanding their UK sales team to meet growing demand.

What you will do

• Generate new opportunities through targeted cold outbound (calls, email, LinkedIn), around 90% of the role
• Research each school properly before you reach out: the right people, the right message, no spray and pray
• Engage multiple stakeholders per school and book qualified first meetings for Account Executives
• Bring fresh ideas to outreach, video, voice notes and creative touches, not just cadences
• Work with the Account Executives in your territory to plan how to reach sales goals
• Log activity in Salesforce and keep account and contact records accurate
• Learn the product in depth so you can speak confidently about the challenges schools face

Who will thrive here

• You bring energy and ambition, you want to earn, and you want to progress to an AE role
• You’re a self-starter who generates your own momentum without waiting to be told
• You’re coachable and act on feedback quickly
• You’re comfortable cold calling and building relationships by phone
• You can run a considered, multi-touch sale involving many stakeholders, this is quality over quantity
• Early in your sales career and hungry to step up: some SDR experience is ideal, and exposure to EdTech or schools is a big plus, but drive and fit matter most
• You have the right to work in the UK without sponsorship
