It’s a critical sales function in its own right and needs someone able to build, lead and coach their own team of BDRs.

This is a brilliant career opportunity:

  • £60k-£70k base salary (established BDR/BDM managers), year 1 £100k-110k+ OTE

About you (To respect your time, please only apply if you have this experience)

  • Proven experience managing an SDR or BDM team, ideally in tech or SaaS
  • A coaching-led leadership style, not just a numbers-and-reporting one
  • Comfortable in a hands-on, in-office role (4 days/week)
  • Genuine interest in AI, and able to instil that across a team
  • Organised and CRM-disciplined, able to build a repeatable outbound engine
