    ABOUT THE COMPANY: 

    The company is redefining human risk and secure behaviour management in cybersecurity. Trusted by global enterprises and high-growth mid-market organisations—including Vodafone, Merck, Arriva, and Hershey—the company reduces human cyber risk through AI-driven automation and cutting-edge Agentic AI solutions. We are scaling rapidly year-on-year, bringing our UK outbound engine in-house, and investing heavily in a modern, data-backed sales development function built for high performance and high autonomy.

    Role Insights

    Sales Development roles are ideal stepping stones — top SDRs typically promote to AE within 12-18 months.

    Expect to work with recurring revenue models where customer retention is as important as acquisition.

    Remote positions in sales offer flexibility but require strong self-discipline and proactive communication with distributed teams.
