Graduate Business Development Representative

Overview

Job Description

£30,000 Base Salary | £40,000-£45,000 OTE | 2pm Finishes When You Hit Target

What if your first sales role gave you the opportunity to work with businesses like Tesla and Bayern Munich, whilst helping build a brand-new Manchester office for one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI-powered technology companies?

That’s exactly what’s on offer.

You’ll be joining a global software business whose platform helps companies identify and secure funding for innovation, software development, engineering projects and scientific research. The business has supported customers in securing more than €2 billion in R&D funding and now works with over 2,900 active clients globally across more than 25 industries.

The company combines cutting-edge AI technology with real commercial impact, helping organisations unlock significant funding opportunities whilst reducing the complexity and administration involved in the process.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• £30,000 starting salary
• £40,000-£45,000 realistic first-year earnings
• 2pm finishes when targets are achieved
• Work with a business whose customers include Tesla and Bayern Munich
• Help companies secure funding for innovation, technology and product development
• 2,900+ active corporate clients globally
• AI-powered technology at the heart of the business
• Free tickets to major sporting events
• Comprehensive 12-week sales training programme
• Clear progression from SDR → Senior SDR → BDE → Management

International Opportunities

This is a genuinely global business with 11 offices across 5 countries and 2 continents.

Current locations include:

• Munich
• Tutzing
• Hamburg
• Manchester
• France (Toulouse region)
• United States operations

The business continues to expand internationally, giving employees the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues across Europe and North America and travel as part of their career development. 

Why Join Now?

Most graduate sales opportunities involve joining a large team where you’re one of many.

This is different.

You’ll be one of the first SDR hires in Manchester, giving you the opportunity to make a genuine impact, build your reputation early and develop alongside a rapidly growing international business.

You get the excitement and visibility of joining a growing office, combined with the stability and backing of a listed international technology company that continues to expand across Europe, the UK and the US.

What You’ll Be Doing

As an SDR, you’ll speak with decision-makers across:

• Technology
• Software
• Engineering
• Manufacturing
• Pharmaceutical
• Life Sciences

Your role will focus on identifying opportunities, starting commercial conversations and generating meetings with businesses that are investing heavily in innovation and growth.

You’ll quickly develop expertise in one of the fastest-growing areas of technology and business.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re not looking for years of experience.

We’re looking for ambitious individuals who are:

• Competitive
• Coachable
• Resilient
• Confident communicators
• Commercially minded
• Interested in technology and AI

Whether you’ve recently graduated or built experience in hospitality, retail, sport or another customer-facing environment, this is an opportunity to build a long-term career with a company experiencing significant international growth.

Join early. Work with global brands. Learn from industry-leading technology. Build your career in Manchester with a business making a real impact worldwide.
