Job description

Enterprise Sales Development Representative (French Speaking)

Central London | Hybrid working 2 days in the office

The business

A fast-growing, commercial sports agency operating at the highest level of global sport. Less than a year into its journey, the business already represents elite sports properties across the UK, Europe and North America, delivering premium commercial partnerships to international brands.

Their existing BDR function has had a clear impact on pipeline, with meetings progressing at the same pace as those generated through senior networks. As a result, they are now expanding the team with a French-speaking Enterprise Sales Development Representative to support a new mandate focused on French and international brands.

You will drive top-of-funnel engagement, securing senior-level meetings that convert into genuine commercial opportunities such as front-of-shirt, title and naming rights partnerships. Your language skills will also see you joining first meetings and supporting conversations with French-speaking decision-makers well beyond the initial introduction.
