About the Role

This role isn't about closing deals — it's about making sure every deal that reaches Sales is worth closing. You'll work a defined list of strategic target accounts: qualifying leads, understanding what they actually need, and handing Sales a pipeline that's warm, accurate and ready to convert.

You'll sit in Marketing, working tightly with Sales — the link between interest and opportunity.

Calling and qualifying new and inbound leads across our key strategic accounts

Digging into what each prospect actually needs, not just what they ask for

Working your list systematically — every opportunity has a clear next step, logged and on time

Handing Sales opportunities that are genuinely ready to go

Representing Venta properly — direct, honest, no nonsense

Essential Skills

You pick up the phone without hesitating, and a "not interested" doesn't slow you down — you're already on to the next one

You read people quickly and bring them round to your way of thinking without much effort

You want a target and a scoreboard — you need to know where you stand

You're organised enough to work a defined list properly — you treat the process as how you win, not as admin that gets in the way

You're direct enough to move a conversation forward, personable enough that people stay on the line
