Sales Development Representative
This Is Prime
Imagine starting your career in a high-growth consultancy where you're trained by industry leaders, work with innovative businesses across tech, AI, life sciences and engineering - and get promoted within your first 9 months.
This is your opportunity to join a thriving team in Manchester City Centre as a Business Development Executive, helping clients unlock growth through R&D tax incentives. These tax credits support innovation in UK businesses - and your role will be to connect with forward-thinking companies and show them how they can access funding for their most exciting projects.
From AI-driven software to new medical devices, the scope is huge - and you'll have the freedom to build relationships with decision-makers across tech, engineering, manufacturing, life sciences, and beyond.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
You'll be working in one of the UK's fastest-growing sectors, helping clients fund innovation that gives them a genuine competitive edge.
You'll join a close-knit, ambitious team of 14, where collaboration is valued and learning is constant.
Your training will be hands-on, structured and led by the Director, including roleplays, classroom sessions and expert workshops.
You'll join alongside another new BDE - meaning you'll grow, develop and win together from day one.
Promotion to BD Executive Level 2 comes as early as month 9, with your basic rising to £28K, and clear steps to reach Senior BD within 3 years.
What You'll Get:
£25,000 basic salary with realistic OTE of £35,000+ in year one
Uncapped commission structure - the more value you bring, the more you earn
Progression milestones mapped out from day one - expect rapid development
Team holidays (last year: 4 days in Amsterdam), regular lunch clubs, and a flexible social fund to spend how the team chooses
A collaborative culture where success is shared and ambition is rewarded
Office based in Manchester City Centre with hybrid options as you progress
What You'll Be Doing:
Build your understanding of R&D tax relief and how it supports innovation across multiple industries
Identify and reach out to potential clients through outbound prospecting
Qualify businesses and understand their innovation plans
Consult with prospects to determine where R&D tax incentives could add real value
Collaborate with the consultancy team to deliver tailored support and close opportunities
Who We're Looking For:
A confident communicator who enjoys building relationships
Graduates who are ambitious, resilient, and excited by professional growth
Self-motivated individuals who want to be rewarded for performance
Someone who thrives in a supportive, team-first environment
No prior sales experience required - just the right attitude, energy and willingness to learn
We're shortlisting now for the next graduate intake. If you're ready to join a business that offers real progression, high earning potential, and the chance to work with some of the UK's most exciting companies - apply today.
