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 Sales Development Representative at a profitable, bootstrapped talent company with £4m+ ARR, growing about 30% a year.

It gives UK businesses two routes to an AI-native team: top senior remote engineers embedded in days, and an AI Academy that upskills existing teams.

What you'll do:

• Make high-volume cold calls to UK decision-makers who need senior technical talent
• Turn warm leads from email campaigns into booked meetings
• Qualify opportunities for Account Executives, then work towards closing your own

Is this you?

• 1-3 years in a sales role, ideally outbound and target-driven
• Comfortable with high daily call volumes and working autonomously
• Want promotion on results: AE or AM in about 6 months if you hit target

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.
