Winning the day

Great Sales Development is built on consistency, curiosity and execution.You should be comfortable operating in a high-activity outbound environment, with an expectation of approximately120 prospecting activities per working day / 600 per week.

A typical day will include:

• 50+ cold calls
• Targeted email outreach
• LinkedIn prospecting
• Account research
• Follow-up activity
• Multi-threading across strategic accounts

But activity alone is not enough.

We value SDRs who combine disciplined execution with smart account selection, relevant personalisation, strong conversations and effective qualification.

The goal is not simply to generate activity — it is to create pipeline and open valuable conversations with the right organisations.

What we are looking for

• Previous experience as an SDR, BDR or in a comparable outbound/new-business sales role.
• Demonstrable experience with cold calling, account research and prospecting.
• Confidence working towards activity, meeting and pipeline-generation targets.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to prospect across different APAC markets and adapt your communication style, messaging and outreach timing accordingly.
• Confidence balancing inbound lead qualification with proactive outbound prospecting.
• Strong commercial judgement and cultural awareness when engaging prospects across different countries.
• Ability to manage multiple accounts, stakeholders and sales cadences effectively.
• Experience with CRM, sales-engagement or prospecting technology.
• Familiarity with Salesforce, Outreach, Gong, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Cognism, ZoomInfo
• or Demand base is advantageous.
• Strong organisation, prioritisation and time-management skills in a remote working environment.
• A proactive, accountable and resilient mindset.
• Coachability, curiosity and the ability to put feedback into practice quickly.
• Motivation to learn, develop and take on greater responsibility over time.

Experience prospecting for business intelligence, analytics, embedded software, enterprise software or related technology solutions would be an advantage, but curiosity and the ability to learn quickly matter just as much.
