About the Role

You'll work directly with the founders to identify opportunities, speak with business owners, understand their challenges, and position Kumo as their long-term AI and software partner.

Confident speaking with founders, CXOs, and business owners. Naturally curious and enjoys talking to people. Comfortable with outbound sales and handling rejection.

About the Role

We're looking for a Business Development Representative with 2–4 years of experience to help drive Inflexion Analytics' next stage of growth. You'll own the top of the funnel end-to-end — identifying target accounts, running outbound outreach, qualifying opportunities, and moving them into active sales conversations with senior leadership.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who genuinely enjoys the hunt, gets energised by cold outreach rather than drained by it, and wants to help build a book of business in a fast-growing specialist consultancy.

You'll be selling Inflexion's full service portfolio primarily into mid-market clients across the US and Europe (including the UK), with scope for the remit to become more global over time. You'll join a small but growing BD team, with clear runway to grow with it as we scale.

This role is suited to someone who's commercially sharp, comfortable talking to senior business stakeholders (Heads of Marketing, Analytics, CFOs, COOs).

Key Responsibilities

•     Identify and build target account lists across priority US and European markets, using a mix of research, market analysis, and intent signals.

•     Run high-quality outbound outreach across email, LinkedIn, and cold calling - with strong personalisation.

•     Qualify inbound and outbound leads against ICP criteria and book discovery calls for senior leadership.

•     Build and maintain a healthy, well-hygiened pipeline in [CRM — HubSpot / Salesforce / TBC], with accurate stage tracking and next-step discipline.

•     Coordinate with delivery and pre-sales teams to shape solutions and proposals for qualified opportunities.

•     Support senior leadership through the middle and late stages of the sales cycle - proposals, negotiation, and close.

•     Track and report weekly on core BD metrics: outreach volume, response rates, meetings booked, qualified opportunities, pipeline value, and conversion.

•     Stay on top of trends in data, analytics, and AI including what competing consultancies are doing, so we're always sharpening our positioning.

•     Contribute to the growth and playbook of the BD function as the team scales.

Qualifications

•     2–4 years of experience in business development, sales development, or a related client-facing commercial role. Experience selling analytics, data, IT services, SaaS, or consulting into mid-market or enterprise buyers is a strong plus.

•     Proven track record of hitting or beating outbound targets - meetings booked, qualified opportunities generated, or pipeline value contributed.

•     Strong verbal and written communication and comfort on cold calls and discovery conversations with senior stakeholders.

•     Comfortable using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Clay, Apollo AI, or similar) to accelerate account research, personalisation, and outreach at scale, we expect this to be a core part of how you work, not an afterthought.

•     Hands-on experience with a modern sales stack - CRM plus tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, ZoomInfo, Lusha, or similar.

•     Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage a large number of active opportunities at different stages.

•     Ability to work independently and as part of a small, fast-moving team in a rapid-change environment.

•     Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field. MBA is a plus, not required.
