SOC 3552 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Thrive Operations Limited is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 3554 (Advertising and marketing associate professionals, If role focuses on marketing outreach rather than direct sales). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
Thrive delivers upon the promise of technology by enabling our clients’ digital transformation journeys with best practices on an AI, cybersecurity and cloud focused NextGen managed services platform.
Thrive’s culture is powered by diverse talent, big ideas, and a customer-first mindset—and it’s what truly sets us apart. Thrive is built for people who want more than a weekday routine. If you’re hungry to grow, eager to tackle new challenges and ready to drive real impact in a rapidly expanding environment, then welcome to THRIVE!
Position Overview
We're hiring a Business Development Representative to join our growing UK sales team. This is a high-activity, outbound-first role - your job is to generate the pipeline that fuels our Client Business Executives (CBEs). You'll be on the phone, in inboxes, and on LinkedIn every day, prospecting into target accounts, sparking interest in Thrive's technology and security services, and booking qualified meetings for our sales team to close.
This role is ideal for someone looking to break into technology or cybersecurity sales, learn the fundamentals of B2B selling, and build a foundation for a long-term career in the industry. We're less interested in a polished CV and more interested in hunger, resilience, and a genuine drive to succeed.
Responsibilities
- Make a high volume of outbound cold calls every single day - this is a numbers and activity-driven role, and consistent effort is non-negotiable
- Prospect and build target lists using our sales tools (CRM, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, intent data, etc.)
- Run structured outbound cadences combining calls, email, and social outreach to engage prospective clients
- Qualify inbound and outbound leads against our ideal customer profile
- Book qualified meetings and hand off well-prepared opportunities to Client Business Executives
- Learn and clearly articulate Thrive's value proposition across managed IT, cybersecurity, cloud, and compliance services
- Keep accurate, disciplined CRM records - activity, notes, and pipeline data
- Hit and exceed weekly/monthly activity and meeting-booked targets
- Collaborate closely with CBEs and marketing to refine messaging and targeting
- Continuously look for ways to improve your own outreach, scripts, and objection handling
