Sales Development Representative

Location: Remote, UK

About the Role

We’re looking for an ambitious and driven Sales Development Representative (SDR) to join our team at Black Duck.

This is a pipeline-generation role at the heart of our sales organisation. You’ll be responsible for identifying and developing opportunities across both new prospective customers and our existing customer base, creating high-quality pipeline for our sales teams.

You’ll combine proactive outbound prospecting with the qualification of inbound interest, engaging potential customers through phone, email, LinkedIn and other channels. You’ll work closely with Account Executives, Account Managers and Marketing to identify the right organisations and people to engage, understand their challenges, and turn those conversations into qualified sales opportunities.

At Black Duck, SDRs play a key role in building pipeline by qualifying inbound leads and prospecting outbound in partnership with Sales.

What You’ll Do

  • Generate qualified sales pipeline across new logo and existing customer accounts.
  • Proactively prospect into target organisations through phone, email, LinkedIn and creative outbound approaches.
  • Research accounts to identify key stakeholders, decision-makers and potential business opportunities.
  • Follow up and qualify inbound leads generated through marketing campaigns and other channels.
  • Uncover customer challenges, priorities and potential areas where Black Duck can add value.
  • Partner closely with Account Executives and Account Managers to develop account strategies and identify new opportunities.
  • Nurture prospects and contacts until they are ready to progress into a qualified sales opportunity.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date activity and opportunity information within our CRM.
  • Work towards clear pipeline-generation targets, with your success and incentive directly linked to the opportunities you create.

What We’re Looking For

We’re less interested in whether you’ve already worked in cybersecurity and more interested in whether you have the mindset and potential to succeed in sales.

You’ll ideally bring:

  • Some previous sales or customer-facing commercial experience. This could come from B2B sales, recruitment, telesales, business development, retail, hospitality or another target-driven environment.
  • A confident, outgoing personality and the ability to build rapport with different people.
  • A self-starter mentality with the motivation to create opportunities rather than wait for them to come to you.
  • Resilience and persistence. You’re comfortable hearing “no” and picking up the phone again.
  • Strong organisation and an ability to manage multiple accounts, prospects and follow-ups.
  • A naturally curious approach and willingness to ask good questions.
  • A coachable mindset and genuine desire to learn, develop and improve.
  • A competitive, goal-orientated attitude and motivation to achieve and exceed targets.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills.

Why Black Duck?

Black Duck is a leader in application security, helping organisations around the world manage the risks associated with the software they build and use.

You’ll be joining an experienced sales organisation where you can learn from colleagues across Sales, Marketing and Technical Sales while developing your own commercial skill set.

Our existing SDR programme includes structured enablement and onboarding alongside tools such as LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, Salesloft and Salesforce.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has started their career in sales and wants to take the next step in a fast-moving technology environment, or for someone with transferable sales experience who is ready to build a career in B2B technology sales.

If you’re ambitious, organised, coachable and excited by the challenge of creating new business opportunities, we’d love to hear from you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
