About Us:
At Knowledge Gate Group, we’re passionate about bridging the gap between the research lab and industry. We connect industry-leading life science organizations with the insights and expertise they need to drive meaningful decisions.
Role Overview:
We're looking for a proactive, resilient, and relationship-driven Sales Development Representative (SDR) to help us build something new.
This is a pipeline-building role, focused primarily on outbound prospecting and generating qualified opportunities for our sales team. You will be responsible for identifying target accounts, engaging key decision-makers, and booking high-quality meetings within life sciences and pharmaceuticals.
Your primary responsibility is to create new business opportunities through consistent outbound outreach and strategic prospecting.
If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy opening doors where none existed before, and get energy from starting conversations that turn into real opportunities, we want to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities:
- Build and manage a strong outbound pipeline through cold calling, email outreach, LinkedIn prospecting, and follow-ups
- Identify and research target accounts within pharma, biotech, life sciences, market research firms, and consultancies
- Engage decision-makers and qualify leads based on fit and opportunity potential
- Book high-quality meetings for Account Executives and senior sales team members
- Maintain accurate CRM records and track outreach activity consistently
- Collaborate closely with Account Executives to ensure smooth handoff of qualified opportunities
- Gather market feedback from conversations to help refine positioning and outreach strategy
- Consistently hit activity and meeting targets
What We’re Looking For:
- 1–3 years of experience in sales, business development, lead generation, or outbound prospecting (experience in knowledge services, professional services, or life sciences is a plus - but not essential)
- Comfortable with high-volume outbound activity, including daily cold calling
- Resilient and persistent - you understand that outbound takes consistency and are willing to learn
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Highly organized and detail-oriented
- Competitive, target-driven mindset with a desire to grow into a closing role over time
- Curious and proactive - you enjoy researching accounts and tailoring outreach to get the job done
- Coachable and eager to improve
Why Join KGG?
- Accelerated career growth with a clear path into Account Executive or vertical ownership roles
- High visibility and direct impact on building our consultancy and private equity vertical
- A dynamic and engaging environment with a diverse international team
- Competitive base salary plus performance-based incentives tied to meetings and pipeline generation
- Flexible work environment and support for professional development
- Opportunity to make your mark in a fast-evolving company at the forefront of decentralized science
