We are not just another recruitment agency - we empower tech companies to grow by building high-performing outbound sales teams that drive new customer acquisition and fuel their expansion. Recognised as the UK’s Top Sales Company 2024, our approach goes beyond traditional recruitment.

Our rapid growth has been underpinned by the growing technology market and the increasing demand for sales-driven expansion, making this a really exciting time to join the company.

The Opportunity

Following recent investment, we are expanding our sales teams with two Business Development Executives (BDEs) to support our ambitious growth plans. This is a rare and exciting opportunity for individuals with little to no sales experience to accelerate their career, in a thriving and forward-thinking environment. As a BDE at Furza, you’ll play a crucial role in our growth across the UK and Europe by introducing our model to technology companies and helping to acquire new customers. We prioritise your development! You will be enrolled in our industry-leading sales academy, tailored specifically to your role at Furza. Upon completion, you will receive an Institute of Sales Professionals accreditation. Alongside formal training, you’ll receive continuous coaching, mentoring and support from experienced professionals and expert trainers to enable you to reach your full potential.
