You will engage with finance and operations stakeholders at target accounts, research prospective customers, and collaborate closely with Sales and Marketing to refine messaging and outreach.

Manage a high-volume cadence while maintaining quality, follow up persistently, and iterate on approaches based on performance data.
Own handoffs to Account Executives, provide clear context for booked meetings, and support initial discovery where needed.
Qualifications
1–3 years of experience in B2B sales development, inside sales, or business development; experience in SaaS or fintech is a strong advantage.
Proven ability to generate pipeline through outbound prospecting and to manage a high-volume outreach cadence.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to craft concise, persuasive messages for finance and operations audiences.
Comfortable using CRM and sales engagement tools (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft) and analysing activity metrics to improve results.
Self-starter who moves quickly, takes ownership, and collaborates effectively across teams in a fast-paced startup environment.
Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and a data-oriented mindset for optimising outreach and qualification criteria.
