Sales Development Representative

The Opportunity
  
This is an incredible opportunity to get your foot in the door and build a career in the fast-growing world of SaaS.

Our client is a successful New Zealand B2B SaaS business in Learning & Design space, with strong global revenue, continued growth and a lean, highly collaborative team.
  
You wont be  joining a huge tech company and sitting in one small part of the sales function, you’ll get exposure across Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Product and Technology - learning how a SaaS business actually grows and how each part of the company connects.

You’ll start by building strong foundations in outbound sales, getting close to customers and learning how to create genuine commercial opportunities. And for someone who proves themselves, there is a clear opportunity to grow.

  
The Role

What you’ll be doing You’ll be responsible for creating new business opportunities through proactive outbound prospecting.

That means:

• Researching target companies and identifying the right people to speak with
• Reaching out across phone, email, LinkedIn and other channels
• Starting conversations with relevant decision-makers
• Asking smart questions to understand challenges, priorities and potential opportunities
• Qualifying prospects before handing genuine opportunities across to the sales team
• Building and managing your prospecting pipeline and follow-up activity
• Testing different messaging and approaches to understand what works
• Sharing customer and market feedback with Sales and Marketing
• Keeping CRM activity and prospect information accurate and up to date
• Consistently contributing to qualified pipeline for the business

Your Experience

What you’ll bring You might already have 6–18 months of experience in an SDR, BDR, business development or SaaS sales role and be looking for your next step.
OR you may have built strong commercial, outbound or customer-facing skills elsewhere and be looking for an opportunity to move into technology.

Either way, we’re looking for someone who is:

• Hungry to learn and ambitious about building a career in SaaS
• Comfortable picking up the phone and starting conversations
• Resilient and able to keep going when people say no
• Curious, thoughtful and genuinely interested in understanding customers
• Commercially minded and able to recognise a good opportunity
• Highly self-motivated and comfortable working with autonomy
• Organised and disciplined with follow-up
• Coachable and open to feedback

The team works hybrid, with 2–3 days a week in the Auckland office.

Who we're looking for

Someone curious, determined and genuinely committed to their own learning and development.
 
You want to be successful, you’re prepared to put the work in to get there, and you see every conversation, piece of feedback and challenge as an opportunity to get better.

You don't need to know everything about SaaS yet. But you do need the energy, resilience and ambition to learn quickly and make the most of the opportunity in front of you.

And because this is a sales role, we'd love to hear from you — literally.

Submit your application, then give me, Vanesha a call on 021569499.

Don't overthink it. Introduce yourself, tell me why this role caught your attention and ask me anything you want to know about the opportunity.

We're interested in the people who are willing to pick up the phone.
