You will generate new demand and build qualified pipeline, working both self-generated outbound and inbound demand from marketing.

You will run discovery conversations that produce genuinely qualified opportunities, and stay with them until they are established with a Sales Specialist. What You’ll Do Generate demand Work inbound and marketing-sourced leads — demo requests, event leads and campaign responses. Generate new demand through targeted outbound outreach: calls, emails, Apollo and LinkedIn Sales Navigator. Research prospects to uncover business context and pain points, using AI-enabled tools to prioritise the accounts most likely to convert.

Qualify properly Apply structured PACCT qualification frameworks to assess fit, readiness and urgency. Qualify for value as well as fit — understand budget, scope and the size of the problem before advancing an opportunity. Record meeting outcomes honestly. A meeting logged as moving forward is a commitment to convert it. Convert meetings into pipeline Convert qualified meetings into pipeline opportunities. Own the handover to the Sales Specialist, ensuring actionable intelligence is documented in Salesforce.

Stay engaged after handover — support early discovery, help secure the next meeting, and keep the opportunity moving. Partner with Sales Specialists and Marketing Work with your Sales Specialists to agree target accounts and shape the outbound plan for your patch — know which accounts matter, and why, before you start. Build genuine partnership on live opportunities: brief thoroughly, agree the next step, and keep the specialist informed as the opportunity develops.
