About the Job

Agents are starting to sell, buy and operate on behalf of companies. But before an agent can close a deal, qualify an account, route a lead or assess risk, it has to answer a basic question: which company is this?

Today, that answer is messy, and no one answers it reliably. Business identity lives across CRMs, ERPs and third-party datasets full of duplicates, missing parent companies, stale addresses and incorrect enrichment. The cost shows up across the enterprise: sales teams miss revenue opportunities because they lack the...

Humans have worked around that mess for years. Agents cannot. They need a reliable business identity layer they can trust.

Key Responsibilities

We have strong product market fit. In 2025 we grew ~5x with world class net dollar retention, mostly from founder-led sales, and now have AEs hitting quota with an emerging playbook.
We're looking for another BDR Manager to accelerate our outbound engine as we scale in 2026. You'll own a team of ~10 BDRs and be responsible for the pipeline that fuels our growth.
You will report to Dave Bentham (Head of Sales) and work closely with our AEs, marketing, and leadership team to make sure the top of funnel is consistently feeding high-quality pipeline.
Work with Dave and the rest of leadership to define ICP, targeting, and outbound messaging.
Translate company targets into clear, measurable BDR goals and ensure pipeline expectations are distributed strategically across the team.
Continuously iterate on outbound plays, channels, and sequences to improve conversion at every stage.
Develop the BDR team to be a talent pool for the rest of the organisation through a culture of constant learning

Required Skills & Abilities

4+ years in business development and/or outbound sales, with at least some time managing a BDR or SDR team.
Experience scaling a BDR team (e.g. growing from a handful of reps to 10+) or managing a team of that size.
Strong instincts for messaging, targeting, and what makes outbound actually work.
Comfort operating in ambiguity: you can build process, playbooks, and territory strategy.
Bonus: the deeper your knowledge of RevOps, data, and GTM tools the better.

Need lots of structure or polished specs.
You like spending weeks agonizing on a single initiative, or don’t want to rapidly iterate and run experiments.
Require detailed instructions.

Prefer remote or hybrid work (requires 4+ days in London office) and/or can’t travel to clients (US+Europe)
Don’t enjoy the pace of an early-stage startup.
Want to carry your own deals instead of building and coaching a team.
