About the role

ContactVerse has a product that genuinely helps a small business stop losing calls, and almost nobody has heard of it. This role is the first conversation: finding the businesses with that problem, reaching them in a way that does not feel like spam, and earning a meeting. It suits somebody early in a sales career who wants to learn a market properly rather than read a script.

What you will do

• Research and build the target lists yourself rather than buying them and hoping.
• Run outbound across email, phone and social, written by you and personal enough to answer.
• Qualify honestly. A meeting that wastes everyone's time is worse than no meeting.
• Hand over properly, with context the person taking the meeting can use.
• Keep the CRM accurate, because a pipeline that is not true is not a pipeline.
• Feed back what you hear, including the objections nobody wants to put in a deck.

Your first year

First 90 days. Fluent on the product and the market, consistent outbound running.

By six months. Hitting a meeting target you helped set.

By twelve months. Ready for the next step, which may be closing.

What you will bring

• One to three years in outbound sales development, or strong evidence you would be good at it.
• Can write a short email somebody would actually reply to.
• Comfortable on the phone with a stranger.
• Resilient about rejection without becoming numb to the reason for it.
• Organised. Volume only works with a system behind it.
• Curious about the customer's business rather than only the deal.

Nice to have

• SaaS or technology sales.
• Small and mid-sized business markets.
• CRM experience.
• A second language.

What you will work with

A CRM, an email programme, and a product you can demonstrate rather than only describe.

What this role is not

Not a dialler seat with a script. You are expected to think.

How we work

Everything is remote and nobody is in an office. The team spans the UK and India, with the main working overlap in the evening IST. The precise pattern is agreed with you rather than imposed.

We are a small company and we write things down. Decisions are recorded, corrections are made to the source rather than to the output, and status is expected to be honest even when it is unwelcome.

Compensation and what we offer

• Fully remote working, with company-provided equipment where the role requires it.
• A role with unusual scope for its level, because the organisation is being built rather than joined.
• Direct access to the founders. There are no layers between this role and the people making the decisions.

How we will assess you

We assess against three or four weighted signals agreed before we read a single CV, rather than against years of experience or a list of tools. Expect three stages:

• Introductory conversation with our People team. About 30 minutes, covering the role, your background and what you are looking for. This first conversation may be with an AI assistant; you will be told at the time and may ask to speak to a person instead.
• Conversation with the hiring manager. About 60 minutes, going deep on what you have done and how you think.
• A working session on a real ContactVerse problem. About 60 to 90 minutes. Not a whiteboard exercise and not a take-home test you do unpaid in your evenings.

We aim to complete the process within three weeks and to give you a decision, with reasons, within three working days of the final stage.

Equal opportunity

ContactVerse is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applications regardless of age, disability, gender identity or expression, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. We select against the published signals for the role and nothing else. If you need an adjustment at any stage of the process, tell us and we will make it. It will not count against you.

Research consistently shows that some candidates apply only when they meet every criterion. If this role interests you and you meet most of what is listed, please apply.

How to apply

Write to career@contactverse.ai quoting reference POS-034, with your CV and a short note (a few paragraphs is plenty) on the part of this role you would most want to get your hands on, and why.
