Sales Development Representative

hybrid (London) - Full-time

ABOUT US:

Cakewalk is a design-first Identity & Access Management software for SMBs. Our vision is to make IT security & compliance easy and accessible for everyone.

We are currently hiring a Sales Development Representative (m/f/d) to join our highly ambitious team and further accelerate our GTM traction. We are looking for people who combine ambition, strong grit, and self-reflection.

Cakewalk is backed by leading investors, including Seedcamp, Fly, and super angels from across Europe.

THE ROLE:

This role is unlike most other Sales Development roles - you will be joining an early stage startup with an evolving GTM motion. You will be the second hire on the GTM team, after the CRO, and will build immediate pipeline by outbounding and help build the playbook with a leadership team that has decades of experience at companies like Klarna and Pleo.

Please note that this position will require 3 days a week in our central London office. While we appreciate the flexibility that remote work brings, we believe in-person work will accelerate learnings and enable us to crystallise our culture and build an iconic company faster.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES:

You have a growth mindset - you make self-reflection a priority, you know what you don't know, crave feedback and look to improve every aspect of your sales methods and processes based on learnings, best practices, and data.
You are naturally curious self-starter - you are comfortable challenging your own ideas and those of others, asking why before how. You seek answers to complex and ambiguous questions.
Holding yourself accountable to meeting daily expectations and targets (which are more important to you than the next promotion). You are motivated by achievement and financial rewards.
Is fearless in making new connections and building genuine, lasting relationships with prospects, clients, colleagues and partners at all seniority levels.
Is a highly persuasive communicator in writing and over the phone. you can articulate complex ideas in a simplified way and provide clear and easy to understand guidance to our clients.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

Career acceleration: You won’t be in the front row, you will be in the driver seat at a young, but growing venture-backed startup and will have access to the Leadership team and our network, including our investors. Cakewalk succeeds when you do.
Shared ownership: Being a part of our journey early on means you'll own a meaningful amount of Cakewalk. You are part of the foundation of our company - your contribution makes a difference and matters.
Development: Training, coaching, and an environment that promotes career ambition and progression with direction exposure to our leadership team.

INTERVIEW ADVICE:

Let’s be honest - interviewing is not easy. However, we want you to come prepared and succeed. When we interview, we’re trying to determine a couple of things:

Will you drive impact to the GTM team, our customers, and Cakewalk?
Will you love working here?
Will you grow professionally and personally during your time here?

We’re looking for people who are curious and passionate about technology, so make sure you invest some time in learning and thinking about Cakewalk and the Identity & Access Management industry. Explore our website, the industry we operate in, what we offer, and how we set ourselves apart.

During your interview, you’ll be sharing stories about your current and past roles and experiences. The best way to frame this is with the CARR model: Context, Action, Results, Reflection. This allows you to succinctly share the experiences you’ve gained.

Remember, humility drives learning and we love working with people who are always trying to better themselves. Throughout our interview process, you will receive feedback, and usually directly in the interview. As you move through the interview process, make sure you listen to the feedback you receive and figure out how to incorporate the advice in the next step of the interview.

We welcome interest from candidates with varying levels of experience; many successful candidates do not meet every single requirement. Additionally, studies have shown that people from underrepresented groups are less likely to apply to a job unless they meet every single qualification.
