Job description

Who we are:

For over 25 years, Global Relay has set the standard in enterprise information archiving with industry-leading cloud archiving, surveillance, eDiscovery, and analytics solutions. We securely capture and preserve the communications data of the world's most highly regulated firms, giving them greater visibility and control over their information and ensuring compliance with stringent regulations.

Though we offer competitive compensation and benefits and all the other perks one would expect from an established company, we are not your typical technology company. Global Relay is a career-building company. A place for big ideas. New challenges. Groundbreaking innovation. It's a place where you can genuinely make an impact - and be recognized for it.

We believe great businesses thrive on diversity, inclusion, and the contributions of all employees. To that end, we recruit candidates from different backgrounds and foster a work environment that encourages employees to collaborate and learn from each other, completely free of barriers.

Global Relay is unable to offer visa sponsorship for this position. Candidates must have the right to work in the UK at the time of application.

Your Role:

We are investing in the next phase of our growth. As our first Sales Development Representative (SDR), you'll play a key role in building qualified pipeline into our priority industries across EMEA. Working alongside Enterprise Account Executives and Marketing, you'll identify, engage and qualify prospective customers, helping to create new business opportunities within some of the world's largest and most regulated organisations.

You'll have the opportunity to shape how we approach strategic account development while developing the skills to progress into Enterprise Sales or future leadership.

You will:

• Share successful messaging and outreach approaches.
• Contribute to account development best practice.
• Capture market intelligence and competitor insight.
• Continuously develop your own skills through coaching and training.
