The Opportunity
We are hiring an experienced Senior Business Development Representative to join a fast-growing enterprise software consultancy operating in the ERP space.
This is not an entry-level SDR role.
It is a strategic, high-impact position suited to someone who already understands enterprise ERP sales cycles and can independently generate high-quality, well-qualified opportunities.
You will work closely with senior sales leadership, helping to build pipeline within complex mid-market and enterprise organisations. The emphasis is firmly on quality over volume.
Key Responsibilities
Execute targeted outbound prospecting via calls, email, and LinkedIn
Engage and qualify senior decision-makers (C-suite, Finance, IT, Operations)
Identify genuine ERP buying triggers, including:
Private equity investment
M&A activity
Group or subsidiary structures
Legacy ERP challenges or upcoming renewal windows
Qualify prospects based on:
Company size and turnover
Industry relevance
Existing ERP footprint
Commercial appetite and timing
Book meaningful, well-qualified meetings for senior sales leadership to progress and close
Collaborate with sales and technical stakeholders to align outreach strategy and messaging
Maintain accurate CRM records and pipeline data
This role requires commercial judgment and confidence — not scripted outreach or activity for activity’s sake.
Required Experience
Minimum 12 months’ experience in ERP or enterprise SaaS sales (BDR, SDR, or inside sales)
Demonstrable success generating opportunities with mid-market or enterprise clients
Comfortable speaking with senior and executive-level stakeholders
Experience operating in complex, high-value sales environments
Preferred Background
Candidates with experience in the following ERP ecosystems will be particularly well suited:
IFS
SAP
Infor
Equivalent enterprise ERP or large-scale SaaS platform experience will also be considered.
Personal Attributes
Commercially sharp and outcome-focused
Able to identify real buying intent rather than follow scripts
Self-motivated, resilient, and accountable
Comfortable working autonomously in a high-trust environment
Strong interest in ERP and business transformation
What This Role Is — and Isn’t
This role is:
Senior and strategic
Quality-driven
Highly visible within the sales organisation
This role is not:
An entry-level SDR position
A high-volume, low-quality calling role
A training-heavy environment
You will be expected to hit the ground running.
What’s On Offer
A critical role within a growing ERP-focused consultancy
Exposure to complex ERP transformation projects
Direct collaboration with experienced sales and technical leaders
Uncapped commission and genuine earning potential
High autonomy and flexibility
Remote working with occasional travel
There is long-term scope for progression, but the initial focus is on delivering high-quality pipeline and commercial impact.
