Business Development Representative - Bristol, UK

SaaS and digital marketing have exploded in the last few years. Both represent some of the fastest moving, most dynamic industries to work in, requiring those that do to constantly rethink the rules.

We’re looking for a passionate B2B Sales Executive with proven experience, preferably in closing high value deals. Our ABM approach to sales leverages real SEO data and business insights to capture attention and create proposal opportunities. The very high value of each deal means we are about quality, not quantity (average deal size in 2022 was $200,000 ARR)

We’ve invested in tools (more recently AI) to help give us a competitive advantage in our outreach, so would expect this person to feel comfortable picking up, testing and evolving our approach.

We’re looking for a confident communicator and presenter who ideally has experience with using CRM systems and project organisational software.

A good understanding of SaaS, technology trends or digital marketing is preferable.

We are offering a salary of between £28K - £35K depending upon experience plus commission.
