Sales Development Representative (SDR)

About EngageTech

EngageTech is an award-winning international tech organisation transforming the B2B prospecting process. We empower SDRs and Sales Teams to connect with prospects more effectively—helping businesses accelerate growth and build high-quality pipeline.

Recognised as a Top 50 company on the Sunday Times 100 Best Small Companies to Work For, we're proud to have earned multiple prestigious industry awards.

We specialise in building best-in-class SDR teams and offer two core solutions:

• Outsourced SDR Teams
• Managed SDR Services

These solutions help high-growth and enterprise clients find and convert more qualified leads, faster.

From our beginnings in London, we've expanded to 8 global offices across the US, Australia, and Europe. No previous sales experience is required—our world-class 3-month training academy equips you with everything you need to succeed and start earning commission from day one. We hire ambitious, driven individuals with a passion for learning and growing.

What You'll Be Doing

• Generating outbound meetings for clients through a multi-channel approach (high-volume cold calling, targeted emails, LinkedIn outreach, networking, and research)
• Building meaningful internal and external relationships with key stakeholders
• Engaging directly with C-suite leaders and senior decision-makers across industries—from startups to global enterprises
• Running discovery calls to uncover business challenges and strategic priorities
• Representing EngageTech with confidence and integrity as the first point of contact for prospects

Why This Role Is Exciting

• Continuous learning and development from world-class sales leaders who are invested in your success
• Direct client exposure, with ownership over parts of the sales process and real commercial insight
• Opportunity to work with a variety of clients and technologies, building specialist knowledge across multiple sectors
• A culture that encourages you to bring your full self to work—whether your passion is sport, DE&I, sustainability, or culture
• Fast-track progression, with many SDRs achieving promotion to Senior SDR in under a year
• A vibrant, supportive team environment where wins of all sizes are celebrated

What We're Looking For

• Strong communication skills and the ability to build rapport quickly
• Curiosity about the tech industry and how businesses grow
• A positive, proactive attitude and a genuine interest in working with people
• Adaptability in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
• A sense of ownership and accountability
• A collaborative, team-first mindset
