About us:
YuLife is an award-winning InsurTech company and an employee benefit provider.
We’re the world’s first “lifestyle insurance” company. While other insurers are there for people at the point of death or illness, we engage with people every day to help them live better lives.
To do that, we’ve built an award-winning app that rewards people for building healthy habits. It includes the best wellbeing and digital health tools in the world.
Customers can earn vouchers from great brands like Amazon, Tesco or ASOS for doing simple things like walking or practicing mindfulness. They can even do good by planting trees or cleaning the oceans from the app.
Our clients include Tesco, Capital One and Fujitsu, and we’ve been ranked the #1 employee benefit in the UK on Trustpilot. More recently, YuLife was recognized by CX Insurance Awards as ‘Best Insurtech 2024’ and the 8th Fastest Growing Technology Company in the UK in the prestigious 2023 Deloitte Technology Fast 50.
The role:
As a Sales Development Representative you will be a primary contributor to our quickly growing, high visibility team.
Our SDR team help Yulife to target the best potential clients and educate them on our proposition, opening new sales opportunities for the business.
We have multiple tracks for this role, experience-dependent, from basic small-business-prospecting to the highly complex and project-oriented task of enterprise-business-prospecting. For the right person, we find the right fit.
SDR-ing isn’t always easy: you have to balance conflicting time priorities, accept a certain degree of strategy, play a quality and quantity game, and adjust to ever-changing market conditions, and always keep an eye on the prize (pipeline generation.)
But for those with a bit of grit and a passion for helping organisations drive employee wellbeing, it can be a great role. SDR-ing is a brilliant way to sink one’s teeth into a sales career, and we are a people-first team, passionate about learning, developing, and progressing together.
We can’t wait to meet you :)

- Hustler Mentality /Grit - our best performers have thick skin, and are happy to accept the ups and downs of prospecting as they focus on developing their sales craft
