About Flyp

Flyp is a real estate and technology platform revolutionising home sales.

Our vision is to be the partner of choice in unlocking trapped value for residential property in the UK. We achieve this by redefining the property sales process - empowering homeowners with a flexible toolbox of solutions designed to extract maximum value at every stage of their sale journey.

Over the past three years, we’ve built the technology, processes, and operational infrastructure to enable scalable growth. Now, with proven traction and repeatable results, we are entering a pivotal phase: expanding into new markets, accelerating deal flow, and professionalising our commercial engine.

The opportunity is huge. The UK residential market sees over £1 trillion in housing stock transact each year - much of it sold sub-optimally due to misaligned agency incentives, poor presentation, or rushed sales processes. Flyp exists to change that. By combining renovation, rental yield generation, and agent matchmaking under one roof, we offer homeowners a new kind of sales journey - smarter, more flexible, and ultimately more profitable.

The Role

As an SDR at Flyp, you’ll be the first point of contact for homeowners exploring a better way to sell. Your mission is simple:

• Speak to inbound leads and qualify their needs.


• Educate them on how Flyp can unlock more value from their sale.


• Book high-quality meetings for our Marketplace team to convert into live deals, and develop your skills to cover and close clients yourself as well.

You’ll be the bridge between marketing and sales, ensuring that every potential client understands our value proposition and moves swiftly through the funnel.

This is a fantastic opportunity if you’re early in your career, motivated by targets, and excited about joining a startup where your contribution really moves the needle.

Key Responsibilities

• Call, email, and message inbound leads to engage and qualify interest.


• Understand seller pain points and clearly articulate how Flyp can help.


• Manage your pipeline in HubSpot/Pipedrive, keeping it clean and accurate.


• Book meetings for senior sales colleagues, hitting weekly and monthly targets.


• Experiment with messaging, channels, and cadences to continually improve conversion rates.

What We’re Looking For

• Energy, resilience, and a drive to succeed in sales.


• Great communication skills — confident on the phone and clear in writing.


• Organised and proactive: you follow up, you chase, you don’t drop the ball.


• Comfort with CRM tools (HubSpot/Pipedrive) and an interest in data-driven sales.


• Previous SDR/BDR experience is a bonus, but not essential — attitude matters more than CV.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a high-growth PropTech business redefining how homes are sold in the UK.


• Competitive base salary + commission structure.


• Join an ambitious, collaborative team that values energy, curiosity, and impact.

You’ll report to the Head of Growth Partnership and one of our Co-Founders, working alongside 2 other SDRs/Account Execs. You’ll also work closely with the Head of Marketplace Operations, as well as the onboarding and delivery teams for the Marketplace itself. It’s a strong, tight-knit team across offices in 3 countries - so we know how to back each other up from thousands of miles away.
