Sales & Relationship Operator
Evolve BlueprintsFull Description
Cold call UK business owners for a growing AI company and build the function from scratch.
Evolve Blueprints is an early-stage AI automation company helping UK wholesale and fashion brands transform their operations. Our flagship product automates pre-order fulfilment and stock reconciliation, delivering 80% time savings, 99%+ accuracy, and ROI within the first month for our pilot customer.
We are hiring a Sales & Relationship Operator to own and build our outbound sales function. This is a high-autonomy role at the heart of our growth engine. You will generate your own leads, cold call UK business owners, nurture long-cycle relationships, convert warm inbound prospects, and book discovery calls that turn into paying customers.
We are specifically looking for someone with experience calling UK businesses: someone who understands UK business culture, can hold a natural conversation with a brand owner in Manchester or London, and knows how to open doors over the phone. You will work directly with the two founders and have a real say in how we go to market.
What You Will Do
* Cold call UK business owners and decision-makers daily — this is the core of the role
* Identify and research UK-based wholesale and fashion brands via LinkedIn and industry sources
* Work through a targeted list of approximately 300 trade show prospects alongside fresh pipeline building
* Execute structured outreach sequences across phone, email, and LinkedIn
* Build genuine relationships with prospects on longer buying cycles — disciplined follow-up and relevant check-ins
* Engage and convert warm leads from the marketing function, triaging by intent and opportunity size
* Build and maintain a clean CRM pipeline (HubSpot) with accurate tracking
* Feed market intelligence back to the founders: objections, competitor mentions, feature requests
* Research upcoming UK trade events and run pre/post-event outreach
What We Are Looking For
Essential:
* Proven experience in B2B sales, SDR, BDR, or appointment setting — ideally calling UK businesses
* Confident, natural phone manner with clear English that UK business owners find easy to engage with
* Experience with UK-facing BPO, sales, or account management roles
* Experience managing long-cycle relationships, not just transactional outreach
* Strong written English for email and LinkedIn outreach
* Self-starter who can build systems and work independently with a daily founder check-in
* Familiar with CRM tools (HubSpot or similar) and LinkedIn for business development
Nice to have:
* Background in wholesale, fashion, retail, or B2B operations
* Experience working with startups or early-stage companies
* Technical curiosity and willingness to use AI tools to work smarter
