About Rockborne
Rockborne is an award-winning data and AI consultancy with a clear mission: to help businesses unlock the true value of their data by building stronger, more capable data teams. We do this by deploying diverse, early-career data consultants who are trained to hit the ground running, as well as delivering broader consultancy services including project delivery, training programmes, and strategic support.
Our clients include major brands across sectors like retail, energy, finance, and the public sector. From placing an individual consultant into a client’s team to running entire data transformation programmes, we tailor our solutions to what organisations need to succeed.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to join our Commercial team and help drive the next phase of Rockborne’s growth. In this role, you’ll be responsible for generating new business opportunities through outbound outreach, research, and relationship-building with senior data leaders.
You’ll need to be proactive, curious, and confident speaking with senior stakeholders, identifying client pain points, and qualifying opportunities. While some sales experience is helpful, we’re more interested in your potential, your personality, and your drive to learn the market and craft.
If you’re someone who wants to contribute beyond just hitting target, thinking about brand, network, and long-term impact, this is a brilliant opportunity to grow with a fast-paced, mission-led company.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify and generate leads through cold calling, emailing, and LinkedIn outreach
- Research and map out potential clients to personalise your approach
- Qualify prospects by identifying business problems and booking follow-up meetings
- Collaborate closely with our Growth Director and CEO to pass on qualified leads
- Stay close to trends in the data space to build credibility with prospects
- Build your personal brand through networking and social selling
- Track and manage activity using our CRM and reporting tools
- Help shape and contribute to a high-performance, fast-moving commercial team
What We’re Looking For
- Sales or recruitment experience is desirable but not essential
- Confident and personable, with the ability to hold conversations with senior stakeholders
- Comfortable working autonomously and motivated to learn by doing
- A strong communicator who’s thoughtful, enthusiastic, and self-starting
- Bonus: interest in data, tech, or consultancy (knowledge can be built)
What You’ll Get
- Competitive base salary (£30–35k) + commission
- Hybrid working model with 2–3 days/week in our Wimbledon office or WeWorks more centrally based
- Support from our Growth Director and experienced SDRs
- Structured onboarding and autonomy to grow into the role
- Fast-growth opportunities and exposure to senior decision-makers in data
- Pension and Employee Assistance Programme
If you’re looking to take the next step in your sales career, or want to break into one with real impact, we’d love to hear from you.
