Sales Development Representative (SDR)
About Tussell:
Tussell is the trusted source of insight into UK government procurement, a market worth over £270Bn annually. In a climate of almost unprecedented government spending, our leading market intelligence software helps companies to win more business with the public sector by being informed and proactive. The Government also relies on Tussell data for insights into their marketplace and supply chain - ultimately improving the delivery of public services.
The company is founder-led and growing through customer sales, rather than requiring further funding rounds. At the same time, our reputation is growing all the time: in 2024 Tussell data was mentioned over 350 times in the press, underlining both the media resonance of public spending and our position as the market’s reference data source.
This is your chance to join a growing company as we further expand the new sales function after another successful year.
