Business Development Representative - UK

Description

At Tufin, we’re on a mission to simplify and automate network security for global enterprises. As a Business Development Representative, you’ll be the front line of that mission — sparking conversations, identifying opportunities, and driving the pipeline that powers our growth. 

This seat is a launch pad. Account Executives carrying quota across EMEA today started right here, and the path from BDR to full-cycle rep is a route we have run before. If your goal is to sell enterprise software, this is the way in. 

EMEA isn’t one market, it’s a dozen. Based in the UK, you’ll prospect across the region in English and in a second language — reaching the right person in their own language before a competitor does. That skill is also what makes you valuable as a rep later. 

What You’ll Do: 

• Source new opportunities through inbound qualification and outbound prospecting 
• Build and run outbound campaigns (email, phone, LinkedIn) into target accounts, and consistently convert that activity into qualified appointments for your reps 
• Prospect in both English and your second language, adapting messaging to the market you’re calling into 
• Research and reach the right stakeholders inside complex organizations 
• Navigate objections live and find another way in when the front door is closed 
• Maintain clean, accurate prospect and account data in Salesforce 
• Work with Marketing and Sales to sharpen messaging and lift conversion 

Where This Role Goes: 

• An entry step to a career as a full-cycle Account Executive — reps carrying quota today came up through this seat. This is a training ground for a future role in sales 
• Weekly call coaching, pipeline reviews, and live deal exposure alongside the reps you support 
• Training in the full enterprise sales motion — discovery, qualification, and multithreading — not just the top of the funnel 
• 18–24 months of at-or-above-target performance is the realistic gate. We’d rather be straight with you than oversell the timeline 
• A second language plus enterprise selling skill is a rare combination in this market. You leave here more valuable than you arrived 

Requirements

Experience We’re Looking For: 

• 1–3 years of full-time professional experience. This isn’t a straight-out-of-university role — we want people who’ve held a real job and know what showing up looks like 
• Sales experience is welcome but not required. Career changers do well here: recruiting, teaching, hospitality, customer service, and account management all translate 
• Software or SaaS exposure is a plus, as is familiarity with Salesforce or Outreach 

Who You Are: 

• Fluent in English plus at least one of French, Italian, Spanish — further languages a strong plus 
• Ideal candidate is tenacious and action-oriented, but also self-aware to know where they can improve; this person proactively seeks out coaching and feedback  
• Holder of the right to work in the UK without sponsorship 
• Driven by a long-term goal of becoming a full-cycle Account Executive, and patient enough to earn it 
• Gritty and hungry — you’d rather make the 126th call than stop at 100 
• Creative and quick on your feet; you treat “no” as information, not a verdict 
• An exceptional verbal and written communicator 
• Self-motivated: responsible, accountable, and coachable 
• Curious about AI tools, with evidence you’ve already used them to work faster
