Role: Sales Development Representative (SDR) – Partnerships

Location: Chippenham - 4 days in office 1 day from home

Salary - 27k base and OTE of 60k+

Blend is a global leadership community bringing together C-suite and senior executives from the world’s largest organizations. We create high-trust environments where leaders connect, share openly, and grow through diverse perspectives.

As we scale our Partnerships team, we’re looking for 4 x ambitious individuals who want to build a career in event sales and commercial partnerships.

The Opportunity

This is not just an SDR role - it’s a launchpad.

You’ll start by owning outbound activity, building pipeline, and setting up high-value meetings with senior decision-makers using digital channels and the phone. But this role is designed to evolve. With training, mentorship, and exposure, you’ll develop into a full Account Executive, capable of owning deals and building long-term client relationships.

If you’re hungry, curious, and want to learn how real sales works at a high level -this is for you.

What You’ll Be Doing (Day 1)

• Drive outbound outreach across email, LinkedIn, and importantly the phone
• Identify and engage senior decision-makers
• Qualify opportunities and book meetings for the Partnerships team CRO
• Build and manage a consistent pipeline of prospects
• Work closely with senior sales leaders to refine messaging and targeting
• Learn how enterprise-level event and partnership sales works

What You’ll Grow Into (6–12 months)

• Running your own discovery calls
• Managing partnership conversations end-to-end
• Closing deals and owning revenue targets
• Building long-term client relationships
• Contributing to strategy on go-to-market and partnerships

What We’re Looking For

• Ambition — you want a career in sales, not just a job
• Confidence communicating with senior stakeholders
• Strong work ethic and resilience (you’ll hear “no” - a lot)
• Curiosity — you ask questions and want to understand how things work
• Coachability — you’re open to feedback and hungry to improve
• Bonus: experience in sales, events, or outreach (but not essential)

What You’ll Get

• Clear progression path to Account Executive
• Hands-on training from experienced sales leaders
• Exposure to senior executives and high-value deals
• A fast-paced, high-growth environment
• Competitive salary + commission structure

Why This Role Matters

Most SDR roles keep you in a lane.

This one doesn’t.

We’re building future Account Executives and long term contributors to Blend - people who understand how to create opportunity, build relationships, and close meaningful deals. If you perform, you’ll progress quickly.

The ideal candidate is an energetic self-starter with the ability to identify influencers and key decision makers within accounts. You will discover qualified opportunities by responding to inbound interests and targeted outbound prospects to build rapport and establish long-term relationships. 

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Business or a related field
• At least 1 - 2 years' of relevant work experience
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to multi-task, organize, and prioritize work
