London Hybrid Employment

Octopus Legacy is hiring a Sales Development Representative

Responsibilities

  • Make high-volume outbound calls to book qualified meetings for the commercial team.
  • Pick up outbound projects across the business as they come up (partnerships, B2B distribution, new launches and other commercial initiatives).
  • Hit and exceed weekly targets for calls, conversations and meetings booked.
  • Keep the CRM clean and accurate after every call.

Requirements

  • A natural starter of conversations - comfortable picking up the phone to a stranger and making them glad you did.
  • Commercially sharp and target-driven, with genuine hunger to hit and exceed numbers.
  • Resilient and consistent – you can take a “no” on call 20 and still bring energy to call 21.
  • Organised and methodical, with the discipline to plan your week, work your lists and keep activity high.
  • Curious and commercially minded – you enjoy understanding how different businesses make money and where we can add value.
  • Confident using CRM tools (HubSpot, Salesforce or similar) and outbound tech.
  • A team player who shares what’s working, learns fast, and celebrates other people’s wins.

Nice to Have

  • Some experience in outbound sales, SDR/BDR, business development, recruitment, or another target-driven role is a plus - but attitude and work ethic matter more than years on a CV.
  • Exposure to legal services, financial services, wills/probate, funeral or bereavement sectors, or B2B partnerships.

Benefits

  • Octopus share incentive scheme.
  • 27 days holiday + extra day off for your Birthday.
  • Work from anywhere in the world for up to 4 weeks per year.
  • Vitality Health & Life Insurance.
  • Pension scheme.
  • Enhanced parental leave.
  • Free Will & LPAs + discounts on other Octopus services.
  • Cycle to Work Scheme and access to the Electric Vehicle (EV) Salary Sacrifice Scheme.
  • Octopus Giving: we match any charitable fundraising that you do up to £500.
  • Octopus Springboard: where we help our employees become fully-fledged entrepreneurs.
  • Dog friendly office.
  • Breakfast every day, snacks and wellness activities.

Additional Information

  • We know that to be truly innovative, we need to have a diverse team around us. That is why Octopus Legacy is committed to creating an inclusive environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
