Sales Development Representative

About This Role

The Sales Development Representative SDR is the engine room of Workium's growth function. You will own the top of our sales funnel — researching the right partners and clients, building qualified outbound campaigns, and handing warm, well-prepped opportunities to the Business Development team to close. You'll also help us run a high-quality calendar of webinars and live sessions that turn prospects into pipeline. This is a hands-on, output-focused role for someone who enjoys the craft of outbound — sharp messaging, tidy CRM data, fast follow-up — and wants to grow into a full Business Development career inside a fast-moving global migration platform.

Responsibilities

Lead Generation & Sales Outreach:

• Research and build qualified prospect lists using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Google, Apollo, Lusha and relevant industry directories
• Plan and execute multi-touch outbound campaigns across cold email, LinkedIn and other channels — every sequence written for the segment, not blasted
• Qualify inbound and outbound leads against the agreed ICP Ideal Customer Profile and disqualify quickly where there is no fit
• Book discovery calls for the Business Development team and own the pre-call brief company context, why now, why us
• Run timely, personalised follow-up communication with leads at every stage of the early funnel

CRM & Administrative Support:

• Maintain and organise the CRM / lead tracker Notion — every account, contact, touchpoint and outcome logged within 24 hours
• Keep stages, owners, next-action dates and source attribution accurate at all times
• Produce a weekly performance summary on lead generation, outreach volumes, response rates, meetings booked and stage-to-stage conversion
• Spot pipeline bottlenecks early and flag them to the Partnerships & Growth Manager

Digital Events & Webinar Support:

• Help organise, promote and run online events, webinars and live sessions targeted at our agency, employer and individual segments
• Create or edit event materials slides, social cards, one-pagers using Canva and our brand templates
• Set up and manage registration flows on Zoom, Google Forms, Eventbrite or Calendly
• Own attendee communication — reminder emails, day-of-event nudges, post-event thank-you messages and replay sends
• Provide technical support during events polls, Q&A, recording, chat moderation, breakout rooms
• Run post-event lead enrichment and pass qualified attendees into the outbound and BD pipelines

Cross-functional Support:

• Partner with Marketing on landing pages, lead magnets and campaign messaging
• Partner with the BD team on account research, pursuit plans and proposal collateral
• Surface field-level feedback objections, pricing pushback, recurring questions back to product, content and leadership

Requirements

• 1–3 years of experience in an SDR, BDR, inside-sales, recruiting or outbound marketing role — B2B preferred
• Native-level written and spoken English. A second international language French, Portuguese, Arabic, German, Spanish is a strong plus
• Proven ability to write personalised outbound copy that actually gets replies — not template-stuffed mail-merge
• Strong working knowledge of LinkedIn Sales Navigator preferred, Google Workspace, Notion and Canva
• Comfort with email marketing / automation tools — Mailchimp, Apollo, Lemlist, Instantly or similar
• Experience setting up and running webinar / event tech — Zoom, Eventbrite, Calendly, Google Meet
• Organised, deadline-driven and CRM-disciplined — you keep your own pipeline tidy without being chased
• High emotional intelligence — you can read a prospect, adjust tone, and know when to push and when to step back
• Reliable computer and stable broadband, comfortable working remotely with UK / EU core hours

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in migration, mobility, edtech, recruitment, HR-tech or international placement industries
