Sales Development Representative

A profitable, rapidly expanding real-time data and intelligence platform serving 300+ investment firms across the private markets ecosystem. Their customers are institutional buyers—venture capital and private equity teams—who rely on their product to make better investment decisions faster. They're bootstrapped and growing fast, with a lean, hungry team building something that genuinely matters to a well-defined market as a sales development representative.

The Role

As the first sales development representative you'll own outbound prospecting end-to-end: researching institutional buyers, running multi-touch campaigns, and building relationships with decision-makers at venture and private equity firms. You'll work closely with the founding team to test, refine and scale what works. Success means consistently generating qualified conversations and helping shape the outbound playbook as the company scales.

What You'll Be Doing

• Research and identify institutional investment firms—VCs, PE teams, secondaries buyers—who fit the ideal customer profile, using data and intent signals to prioritise.


• Run multi-channel outbound campaigns (email, LinkedIn, phone) with rigour and creativity; test messaging, sequences and tactics, then iterate based on what resonates.


• Have real conversations with prospects and decision-makers; qualify opportunities, understand their pain, and pass warm leads into sales conversations with founders.


• Build and maintain campaign infrastructure—tracking, logging, reporting—so the team knows what's working and what isn't.


• Collaborate with the founders on positioning, messaging and campaign strategy; your insight from the market directly shapes how they talk about the product.

• 3+ years in outbound sales, SDR or BDR roles, ideally in B2B SaaS or fintech; you know how to run a campaign end-to-end and aren't afraid of the phone.


• Genuine curiosity about investment and private markets; you don't need to be a financial expert, but you need to want to understand how VCs and PE teams work.


• Comfort with ambiguity and ownership; you're joining a bootstrapped, rapidly growing team where process is still being written and you help write it.


• Strong research and writing skills; your emails should be sharp, specific and actually get opened.


• Track record of hitting targets and a mindset that treats outbound as a measurable, repeatable system, not a guessing game.

£30k-£50k base + £50k-£65k OTE. Flexible working arrangements, modern tech stack, and direct access to the founding team.
