Sales Development Representative

Imagine starting your sales career speaking with founders building AI solutions, engineers creating new technology, and businesses solving complex problems - while helping them unlock funding to continue innovating.

This is your chance to join a specialist consultancy helping ambitious UK businesses access R&D Tax Relief - a government-backed scheme designed to reward companies investing in new products, technology and processes.

Thousands of businesses miss out every year because they don’t realise they qualify. Your role is to find those businesses, build relationships with decision-makers and connect them with experts who help unlock valuable funding.

This isn’t selling something businesses don’t need - it’s a consultative sales role where you’re creating genuine value.

The Role...

As a Business Development Executive, you’ll:

• Speak with founders, directors and senior decision-makers
• Build relationships with innovative businesses across 25–30 industries
• Prospect and create opportunities through outbound conversations
• Understand how companies are developing new products and overcoming challenges
• Identify potential R&D opportunities and book meetings for specialist consultants
• Build your own network and become a specialist within your chosen market

Industries include AI, technology, software, engineering, construction, manufacturing and professional services.

You’ll be encouraged to develop your own niche - becoming an expert in a market you’re interested in and building long-term relationships with businesses across the UK and internationally, with future expansion planned into markets such as the UAE.
