Business Development Representative
- London (hybrid, 2 days per week)
- Up to £35,000 + commission (OTE £43,000–£45,000) + benefits
Kioni Talent is working with a growing data and intelligence provider to hire a Business Development Representative into their London team.
This role is focused on generating new business opportunities and building pipeline. It would suit someone who enjoys the challenge of outbound sales, is motivated by targets, and wants to develop their career in a commercial environment.
You won’t be expected to know everything from day one. There is strong support from both the team and the wider business to help you learn the product, the market, and how to succeed in the role.
The role
You’ll play a key part in driving growth by identifying and engaging new prospects, building relationships, and creating opportunities for the wider sales team.
That will include:
- Reaching out to potential customers through calls, emails, and LinkedIn
- Building a pipeline of qualified opportunities
- Researching target accounts and understanding their needs
- Booking meetings for the senior sales team
- Working closely with internal teams to refine messaging and approach
This is a role where resilience and consistency matter. The best BDRs here are proactive, comfortable with rejection, and motivated to keep improving.
What they’re looking for
You don’t need a specific background, but you should be interested in sales and comfortable in a target-driven environment.
Typically that might include:
- Some experience in a commercial or customer-facing role (e.g. Recruitment, sales, hospitality, or similar)
- Confidence communicating with a range of people
- Resilience and the ability to stay motivated through rejection
- A proactive mindset and willingness to pick up the phone
- An interest in learning a new product and market
Why this role
You’ll be joining a business investing in its sales function, with the opportunity to develop into more senior commercial roles over time.
There is strong support, and the chance to build a solid foundation in sales.
