Job Title: Founding Sales Lead

Salary: £30k base, £80k-£100k OTE

Company Description: Telemachus – Well-funded venture studio rebuilding AI-disrupted businesses

Job Description: Join a high-ambition startup as the first sales hire working directly with a second-time founder. You will execute end-to-end outbound prospecting while simultaneously architecting the company’s scalable sales engine and CRM infrastructure. This is a rare opportunity to build a repeatable growth playbook for a collection of focused, AI-driven business units.

Location: London, UK

Why this role is remarkable

• Direct mentorship from a second-time founder in a well-funded, high-growth environment focused on cloning and improving legacy businesses with AI.
• Exceptional earning potential with an uncapped OTE and specific bonuses for building sustainable sales systems and CRM hygiene.
• Founders-level impact where you are not just following a playbook, but creating the automated sales infrastructure for multiple future business units.

What you will do

• Execute high-volume outbound prospecting across cold email and calling to generate quality opportunities and identify ideal customer profiles.
• Build and manage the end-to-end sales pipeline, ensuring meticulous CRM hygiene and implementing AI-driven automation for follow-ups and reporting.
• Develop post-conversion account management workflows to reduce churn, drive repeat usage, and increase lifetime value through systematic renewals and upsells.

The ideal candidate

• Proven ability to navigate ambiguity and build operational processes from scratch while maintaining a high daily output of sales activities.
• Highly analytical and technical enough to tailor CRMs (like Attio or HubSpot) and use modern LLMs to increase outreach quality and speed.
• Exceptional communication skills with a track record of running structured discovery calls rather than generic “spray and pray” outreach tactics.
