Role: Sales Development Representative
Location: Birmingham
Sector: Ed-Tech & Consultancy
At National Neurodiversity Training, we enable organisations to embrace neurodiversity as a business advantage. We increase productivity, improve retention, and ensure legal compliance.
Our high-value projects empower C-suite teams, senior stakeholders, and neurodivergent employees to upskill talent and build inclusive, high-performing teams. We’ve helped industry leaders like the NHS, HSBC, and Transport for West Midlands embed neuro-inclusive practices to achieve business success - and we’re just getting started.
As a fast-scaling startup, we operate with the agility and excitement of a young company, but sell with the experience and sophistication of an enterprise player. Now, we’re looking for an ambitious SDR to join us on this journey.
This is a unique opportunity, as you'll be our founding SDR. Not only does this mean a huge market to go after, but also insane opportunities to progress and become a business leader. You'll receive heaps of training - no experience is required!
The SDR Role
You'll be the engine of our growth, learn from industry veterans and open up meaningful conversations with senior decision makers at some of the world's biggest companies. There are huge opportunities to progress and you'll be making a genuine impact.
Responsibilities include:
* Identify and engage key stakeholders across enterprise accounts, including CPOs and other senior L&D/HR/DEI leaders.
* Use a mix of cold calls, emails, and LinkedIn to create meaningful connections and generate interest.
* Attend industry and community events to promote NNT’s brand, build authentic connections, and convert relationships into client opportunities.
* Secure meetings for our sales team and contribute directly to revenue growth.
* Stay ahead of industry trends and understand what’s driving transformation in the neurodiversity/DEI space.
* Work closely with sales, marketing, and leadership to refine messaging and optimise outreach strategies.

* Extensive training including a partnership with another tech sales team to ensure your development.
* Hybrid working model with an office in the heart of Birmingham.
* Inclusive culture that is driven to genuinely make a difference to the world of work.
* The chance to join a mission-driven business.
