We are an international organisation that tackles the problems businesses have by leading the development and embedding of best practices. We help companies access new markets, accelerate innovation, become more resilient and sustainable, and build trusted customer relationships. Standards protect and create trust, but they are only one aspect of our work. Ensuring conformity with standards and regulatory frameworks accelerates our clients’ ability to improve and grow. Our consulting expertise and insights create a rich environment for innovation. Our work across these interconnected areas unlocks value for clients that is not always apparent when we start.

• Build strong relationships with your business development manager to work on campaigns and ensure leads and revenue goals are achieved.
• Attend relevant events once or twice a year to generate further leads or build client relationships.
• Ensure Salesforce is used to keep track of leads / building reports to assist in managing pipelines.

To be successful in the role, you will have:

• Previous experience in a sales, lead generation, or customer-facing role, ideally selling products, platforms, or subscription-based services.
• Strong communication skills and confidence engaging with prospects via phone, email, and other outreach channels.
• Experience booking qualified meetings or product demonstrations for Business Development Managers or sales teams.
• Working knowledge of CRM systems, ideally Salesforce, with excellent attention to detail and note-taking skills.
• A proactive and self-motivated approach, with the drive to achieve targets and maximise commission opportunities.
• Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to work collaboratively with Business Development Managers and wider sales teams.
• A positive attitude, strong work ethic, and high levels of professionalism and integrity.
