We’re looking for an experienced and commercially driven Senior Sales Development Executive to join our Inside Sales New Business team at IRIS Software Group.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who loves winning new business, building relationships and creating opportunities from scratch. You’ll play a key role in driving growth by identifying prospective customers, understanding their challenges and introducing them to the right IRIS solutions.

🧠 Develop your market knowledge – Build a strong understanding of IRIS products, our customers, competitors and the wider software market.

🏆 Lead by example – As a senior member of the team, demonstrate excellent sales behaviours, share knowledge and support less experienced colleagues with their development.

💡 Continuously improve – Test different approaches, learn from data and feedback, and contribute ideas that improve conversion and overall team performance.

🙋‍♀️ WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

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.
