The opportunity
A fast-growing, British-owned AI technology company is looking for an outbound Business Development Executive to sit at the front of its commercial team.
Its product is a 3D digital human that holds natural conversations with customers 24/7 across web, phone, and face to face.
It is already live in retail, education, charities, hospitality and automotive, and demand is growing quickly.
This is a phone-first role.
You will not be starting from scratch: a researched target account database is already in place, with organisations prioritised and decision makers identified.
Your job is to turn that into conversations and meetings.

- Generating new business through outbound calls, email, and Linked In
- Researching target organisations and reaching the right decision makers
- Introducing the company and its product clearly and credibly to senior stakeholders
- Qualifying opportunities properly and booking meetings.
- Following up on marketing campaigns, events, and inbound enquiries
- Keeping your activity and pipeline accurate in the CRM
- Working to agreed activity and revenue targets
What we're looking for
- 2-years’ experience in outbound lead generation, inside sales or business development
- Genuine confidence on the phone with senior decision makers, including cold calls.
- The ability to work autonomously, manage your own diary and hit the ground running.
- Discipline with follow-up and CRM hygiene.
- Clear written English for email and Linked In outreach
Desirable
- Experience selling software, Saa S, AI, or other technology.
- Experience selling into retail, education, charities, hospitality, or automotive.
What is on offer?
- £25,000 - £35,000 basic, depending on experience
- Uncapped commission, paid on orders you originate even where the wider sales team runs and closes the deal.
- Annual bonus on achievement of target
- Benefits package, discussed at interview.
- A clear path towards booking your own appointments, visiting clients, and closing deals yourself, with the earnings that come with it
