They want one of the first people on the ground That means getting in early: shaping how outbound actually runs, building the pipeline yourself, and having a real say in how the UK operation grows. Founding-team influence, working closely with the leadership team. Their customers are production agencies, broadcasters, corporate media teams, event companies and anyone running serious live-video workflows across the UK, Europe and North America.

What matters is that you can sell, you take a 'no' on the chin, and you pick the phone straight back up. You might be coming from: SaaS Recruitment Telesales or appointment setting Media or advertising sales Events or hospitality sales Subscriptions or membership sales Fundraising Any high-volume outbound sales floor You'll likely thrive here if you: Love the hunt and go looking for new business rather than waiting for it Are driven by targets, results and uncapped commission Can happily run high call volumes without flagging Hold your own in a conversation with a senior decision-maker Take objections in your stride and keep the conversation moving Will chase a good lead down and follow up more than once when it's worth it Pick up new products and technical concepts fast Stay organised and self-driven working remotely Don't mind flexing your hours a little to catch prospects in other time zones Why This One Is Interesting Because you're early you get real autonomy, direct access to the leadership team and the chance to define what good outbound looks like in the UK rather than inherit someone else's.
