Senior Sales Development Representative
📍 Location: London, UK
🏙️ Office requirement: Hybrid 2x week
📝 Employment type: Permanent
At GWI we’re always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now we’re looking for a Senior Sales Development Representative to play a key role in our Corporate Revenue team in London. If that’s you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading. It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.
Sounds great, what will I be doing? 🤔
As our Senior Sales Development Representative, you’ll be the first point of contact for potential new customers at GWI, helping to build relationships and explore opportunities. Your role will involve identifying new business prospects through lead generation, research, and client engagement. You’ll manage and respond to inquiries from prospective clients, help secure meetings for the GWI sales team, and collaborate to identify solutions that meet customer needs.
It’s also fun; shaking things up is what working for a growing company is all about. So you’ll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a high-tempo environment as we grow.
We particularly welcome applications from women and other underrepresented groups in the tech industry. Our company thrives on different perspectives and believes that diversity drives innovation. If you're passionate about marketing technology and have the skills we're looking for, we want to hear from you – even if you don't meet every single requirement.
What do I need to bring with me? 🧳
You’ll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you’re willing to learn. Here’s what the team will be looking for:
👉 Some experience in a business development or sales environment, with a record of contributing to team success.
👉 Excellent communication and presentation skills to effectively communicate complex ideas to stakeholders and peers.
👉 Enthusiasm for building client relationships through outreach across various channels, including phone, email, and video.
👉 Experience supporting and collaborating with Account Executives and cross functional teams.
👉 A resilient and adaptable approach, with a positive attitude toward feedback and new challenges.
Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, exemplified by our leadership team, and they’re a big part of what we’re looking for in you.
Interview steps 👟
👉 Preliminary video call with the Talent Team
👉 First video interview with the hiring managers
👉 Second (and final*) video interview with the hiring panel, often including a presentation, followed by a values conversation with members of the wider GWI community.
*Don’t be alarmed if there are other stages in the process, it’s all part of the plan for some of our roles.
