We're looking for an ambitious, commercially-minded Sales Development Representative (SDR) to become the first person in a brand-new sales function. This isn't a high-volume, script-reading telesales role. You'll be engaging with CEOs, CFOs and senior decision-makers within medium and large businesses, opening conversations around their commercial insurance arrangements and identifying opportunities for our expert advisers to deliver genuine value. The best part? You're not selling on price. Our approach is consultative, fact-finding and solution-led. Your job is to uncover challenges, ask intelligent questions and secure quality appointments for our experienced insurance specialists.
What's in it for you?
- Generous and achievable OTE with earnings approaching £50,000
- Competitive basic salary
- 30 days holiday plus Bank Holidays
- Private healthcare
- Genuine career progression
- The opportunity to help shape and build a new sales function
- Future leadership opportunities as the team grows around you
- Supportive, ambitious and entrepreneurial environment
What You'll Be Doing
- Prospecting and engaging with CEOs, CFOs and other senior decision-makers
- Creating opportunities and booking high-quality appointments
- Conducting professional fact-finding conversations
- Identifying insurance and risk-management challenges businesses face
- Building a strong pipeline through outbound activity
- Working closely with experienced commercial insurance professionals
- Helping establish best practice as our SDR function develops
What We're Looking For
You don't need years of insurance experience. You do need some proven sales experience and the confidence to engage senior business leaders. More importantly, we're looking for someone with:
- A positive, resilient attitude
- Strong communication skills
- Commercial curiosity
- High levels of drive and ambition
- The desire to build something rather than simply join something
- A genuine interest in developing a long-term sales career
Why This Role?
Most SDR roles promise progression. This one genuinely offers it. You'll be joining as the first SDR in the business, giving you the opportunity to influence how the role evolves and, for the right person, build and lead a team in the future. If you're looking for more than just another sales job and want a role where your success can directly shape your career, we'd love to hear from you.
