About Venn
We are a fast-scaling SaaS business on a mission to transform how the world’s leading recruitment agencies and employer brands attract and convert talent. Our platform is the industry-leading solution for high-performance recruitment and careers websites, used by over 200 companies globally.
We don’t just build websites; we design 360-degree digital ecosystems powered by AI-driven job search, advanced analytics, and seamless CRM/ATS integrations.

Outbound Outreach: Execute high-volume, multi-channel outreach (cold calling, email, and social) to generate interest in the Venn platform.
Lead Qualification: Conduct discovery calls to understand prospect pain points—such as poor candidate conversion or manual data entry—and map them to Venn’s solutions.
Meeting Generation: Consistently achieve monthly targets for booking high-quality demonstrations for the senior sales team.
CRM Management: Maintain meticulous records of all activities and lead intelligence in our CRM to ensure a seamless handover to Account Executives.
Who You Are
Resilient & Ambitious: You have a "hunter" mentality and are motivated by hitting targets and overcoming objections.
Strong Communicator: You can articulate complex SaaS benefits in a simple, persuasive way.
Curious Learner: You are eager to become an expert in recruitment marketing trends and the evolving digital landscape.
Experience: Ideally 6–12 months in a sales or customer-facing role, though we prioritize attitude and potential for the right candidate.

World-Class Office: Based at the stunning Alderley Park, featuring forest walks, onsite gym, and a gastropub.
Unrivalled Growth: We have a strong focus on promoting from within; this role is a direct pathway to becoming an Account Executive.
