If you’re an aspiring founder, sales is the perfect place to grow your career.
Experience-wise, we look for:
Proactive grads – e.g. uni society president, side-hustles & impressive fundraising achievements.
Customer-facing or junior sales experience (~1-3 years) – e.g. recruitment, Teach First, Police Now & fundraising.
Sales experience (~3 years) – in a startup or high-growth tech company
More importantly, we want to know about your side hustles, sporting achievements, the targets you’ve exceeded and *that* difficult customer you successfully managed.
Average salaries: £30-50k + commission + equity.
Sales Development Representative (SDR)
Perfect for super proactive grads, this role is common in startups that are Series A and beyond. As an SDR, you'll play a critical role in scaling a company's growth, using various sales tactics to source new leads. The role is a great place to learn the fundamentals of sales and if you're ambitious and target-driven, the role offers rapid career progression (e.g. to Account Manager).
Business Development Representative (BDR)
The BDR role is perfect for those with some sales or customer-facing experience. Whilst similar to an SDR, a BDR has more involvement in setting up sales strategies (i.e. making cold calls, running demos & setting up email sequences). The role is most common in seed stage startups where a company has a product and an idea of target customers but hasn't yet set up their outreach tactics.
Account Executive
The Account Executive role is perfect for those with 2+ years of SDR or BDR experience in a startup or high-growth tech company. Most common in startups that are Series A and beyond, responsibilities will involve running demos and closing deals. You might also be managing SDRs. There are lots of opportunities to progress in this role, commonly to Head of Sales.
Partnerships Executive
The Partnerships Executive role is common in startups with more complex products or longer sales cycles. The role requires you to establish relationships with high net-worth clients via outbound, and nurture these relationships across lengthy sales cycles. If you have previous sales or customer-facing experience and are brilliant at communicating complex products succinctly, this could be a great role for you!
Something else?
Every couple of weeks, a fresh batch of startup sales roles will be released so you can be confident you'll find the right startup and role for you. Pitches from startup founders will allow you to dig into the realities of each role and you might even be surprised about which role takes your fancy.
We work with hundreds of startups across tonnes of industries who are all interested in hiring YOU.
