We are an international organisation that tackles the problems businesses have by leading the development and embedding of best practices. We help companies access new markets, accelerate innovation, become more resilient and sustainable, and build trusted customer relationships.

Standards protect and create trust, but they are only one aspect of our work. Ensuring conformity with standards and regulatory frameworks accelerates our clients’ ability to improve and grow.

• Building strong relationship with your business development manager to work on campaigns and ensure leads and revenue goals are achieved.
• Attend relevant events once or twice a year to generate further leads or build client relationships.
• Ensuring Salesforce is used to keep track of leads / building reports to assist in managing in pipelines.

To be successful in the role, you will have

• Previous experience in a sales, lead generation, or customer-facing role, ideally selling products, platforms, or subscription-based services.
• Strong communication skills and confidence engaging with prospects via phone, email, and other outreach channels.
• Experience booking qualified meetings or product demonstrations for Business Development Managers or sales teams.
• Working knowledge of CRM systems, ideally Salesforce, with excellent attention to detail and note-taking skills.
