Job summary

Sales Science is seeking a Senior Business Development Rep to drive outbound conversations with mid-market leaders across multiple client campaigns from Auckland. You will own booking meetings, capture critical account intel, and push improvements via client reviews.

The role requires a track record of holding meetings and strong discipline with dialing and CRM usage, with a preference for IT services, SaaS, or professional services exposure.

Qualifications

  • Three or more years in a phone-first B2B role (SDR/BDR/inside sales).
  • Comfortable calling senior people cold with conversations beyond the first objection.
  • Track record of meetings that were actually held.
  • Discipline with the dialler and the CRM.
  • Genuine curiosity about the client's market.
  • Helpful if you have sold into IT services, SaaS or professional services.

Responsibilities

  • Work an approved, validated calling pool across two or three client campaigns at a time.
  • Hold real conversations with operations, revenue and technology leaders at mid-market businesses.
  • Own confirmation, rescheduling and no-show chasing.
  • Capture account intelligence on every call: incumbent provider, contract end date, seat count and sites, current stack, and the stated reason for a no.
  • Bring objection patterns and message performance into the fortnightly client review, and help decide what changes for the next cycle.

About us

We run outbound for B2B software and high-margin services companies across Australia, New Zealand, US and the UK. Before anyone dials, we validate which buyers actually answer the phone. Small team, no layers. We are not a call centre. We do not rotate reps across accounts to fill a roster. You hold your clients for the life of the engagement and you get to see the work compound.
