Job description

Lightspeed is seeking a highly analytical and proactive Strategic Outbound Sales Development Representative to join our expanding enterprise growth team. In this role, you will move away from standard, high‑volume transactional lead routing and instead act as an elite intelligence resource focused on strategic account sourcing. You will serve as the premier architect of our pipeline creation, conducting deep research, account mapping, and precision sourcing to establish high‑value relationships between enterprise prospects and the Lightspeed brand.

What You Will Be Doing

• Strategic Sourcing & Market Intelligence: Utilise market research, ideal customer profile analysis, competitive intelligence, and data‑driven intent platforms to systematically identify and prioritise high‑value enterprise target accounts within our Ideal Customer Profile to build a robust pipeline for handover to Strategic Account Executives.
• Account‑Based Marketing (ABM) Execution: Partner cross‑functionally with Strategic Account Executives and Marketing to co‑author, launch, and execute precision multi‑channel outreach campaigns (phone, custom email, social media, and video).
• Discovery & Diagnostic Alignment: Conduct initial high‑level discovery conversations to uncover deep corporate business initiatives, critical pain points, and product fit before seamlessly orchestrating qualified handovers to Strategic Account Executives.
• Funnel Cleanliness & Data Governance: Maintain pristine, data‑rich records within Salesforce CRM to ensure account maps, sourced organisational intelligence, and prospect milestones are immutably tracked, enabling a frictionless transition and briefing process during Strategic AE handovers.
• Proactive Outbound Hunter: Act as a true hunter to drive our outbound engine from the ground up. You will be expected to attend industry events, network effectively, and utilise sophisticated multi‑channel outreach to identify and relentlessly engage high‑value, multi‑location enterprise prospects within the hospitality space, ensuring a consistent, high‑quality pipeline of qualified opportunities.

What You Need To Bring

• Sourcing Experience: 1–3 years in outbound sales development or corporate talent sourcing. A proven track record driven by deep data‑gathering and rigorous target profiling, rather than high‑volume cold calling. Must possess the executive presence and strategic sourcing skills required to identify, map, and successfully engage with C‑suite level.
• Advanced Research Skills: Exceptional capability to dig past surface‑level company websites to uncover organisational insights, operational blockers, and competitive landscape information.
• Tech Stack Mastery: Highly proficient with advanced sales intelligence and sourcing infrastructure.
• Elite Communication Style: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills. You must possess the business acumen required to write highly compelling, custom‑tailored correspondence that commands the attention of C‑level executives.
• Mindset: A resilient, self‑motivated hunter mentality combined with a strong analytical approach. You possess a process‑oriented, quality‑over‑quantity focus, but are driven by the thrill of breaking into large accounts and building high‑integrity sales pipelines.

What’s in it for you?

• Genuine career growth opportunities based on performance within a company that's continuously expanding.
• Work with highly skilled people who are as passionate about sales & marketing as you are.
• An environment that encourages initiatives and leadership.
• Work in a team big enough for growth but lean enough to make a real impact.
• Fun activities with your teammates & social events throughout the year.
• Opportunity to learn, expand your skill set, forge wonderful relationships and make your mark within the diverse and inclusive Lightspeed culture, a true Canadian tech success story.
• Lightspeed equity scheme (we are all owners).
• Flexible Paid Time Off.
• Private Medical Insurance and cash health plan for optical, dental and more.
• Health & Wellness Credit – expense up to 400 GBP per year towards gym membership, yoga classes, a new bike or whatever else you do for your health.
• Mental Health Support through the LifeWorks and Modern Health Apps – each employee gets access to this platform.
• People Experience – Our PX benefit allows you to work from pretty much anywhere in the world for 60 days a year.
• Time off to volunteer and give back to your community.
• Transit benefit – if you travel by public transport to our London or Belfast offices.
• A variety of drinks & snacks in our offices in London & Belfast.
