SalesSales Development Rep

We're hiring confident, driven Appointment Setters and Business Development Representatives to join our clients' growing sales teams. You'll work with successful, established businesses across sectors like business technology and creative services. You'll be the first voice their prospects hear.

This is a phone-based role for someone who enjoys prospecting and gets past gatekeepers with ease. You should be able to hold credible conversations with business owners and senior decision-makers. The goal isn't to make calls for the sake of it. It's to find genuine opportunities and book quality meetings for directors and senior consultants.
