Sales Development Representative (SDR)
This role is most common in tech startups, where SDRs play a critical role in scaling the company’s growth by sourcing new potential customers. This could be a great fit if you’re ambitious, target-driven, and you’re looking for rapid career progression (e.g. to Account Manager or Head of Sales). The SDR role also offers an amazing opportunity to build a fantastic network in an industry you're passionate about.
Business Development Representative (BDR)
This role is similar to an SDR but also involves taking inbound calls and demos and working on sales strategy to fuel company growth. This role is a great fit if you're keen to take on lots of responsibility, are motivated by hitting targets and want to help shape sales strategy. The BDR has lots of great progression opportunities, including Business Development Manager and Head of Sales.
Commercial Associate
A commercial associate is a bit like the sales version of a Founder's Associate. In this role, you'll be helping to define the sales playbook and shaping strategy by analysing customer and market data. You'll also spend time working on outbound sales and talking to customers. There are various progression opportunities, including Head of Sales or eventually, CCO.
Partnerships Executive
In a partnerships role, you'll be involved in identifying and engaging with prospective partners and managing the relationships with existing partners. This role often involves collaboration with other team members - including marketing and other sales teams. A partnerships role offers lots of progression, including into Head of Partnerships.
