Role summary
We are looking for an experienced Business Development Representative to help People Experience Hub grow through high-quality new logo acquisition. This role is focused on identifying, researching and engaging prospective customers that fit our Ideal Customer Profile, then creating qualified opportunities for the sales team.
This is a primarily outbound sales role for someone who already understands the fundamentals of prospecting, CRM discipline and personalised B2B outreach. It is not an entry-level or high-volume, script-led role.

Our employee listening platform combines employee engagement surveys, lifecycle listening, benchmarking, action planning and expert support to help organisations turn feedback into meaningful business outcomes.
We work with organisations that want more than a basic survey tool but do not need unnecessary enterprise complexity. Our approach is consultative, practical and focused on helping People and HR teams create action from insight.

You will work closely with the Sales and Marketing teams to build target account lists, map stakeholder groups, personalise outbound campaigns and secure high-quality discovery meetings and demonstrations.
