£32,000 PA + commission/bonus structure

A well-established, founder-led software company is seeking an ambitious and motivated Lead Generation Executive to join its sales and marketing team on a permanent basis. Working within a small but highly experienced team, you'll take full ownership of lead generation efforts and have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact. This is a genuine opportunity to lead from the front in a business that values initiative, creativity and collaboration.

Reporting directly to the Marketing Manager, the role focuses on smart, strategic outreach. You'll work across both inbound and outbound campaigns; crafting highly personalised email and social strategies, identifying key Ideal Customer Profiles and nurturing cold leads into qualified opportunities.

You'll run multi-channel campaigns end-to-end, with plenty of support-from social media posts and email journeys to direct outreach. You'll also have the creative freedom to test new approaches, backed by a robust marketing automation platform and a strong content engine (blogs, infographics, webinars and more).

Key Responsibilities:

• Plan and deliver outbound and inbound lead generation campaigns
• Identify, research, and contact new prospects via social media, email and phone
• Collaborate on content strategy and development
• Support social media activity, email campaigns and post-conference follow-ups
• Produce competitor insight reports
• Maintain CRM systems (Salesforce) and lead-tracking tools

Requirements:

• Previous experience in a lead generation role, ideally within a SaaS environment (experience in other tech industries such as IT managed services is also welcomed)
• CRM experience (Salesforce preferred but not essential)
• Familiarity with marketing automation tools is a plus
• Any creative/design experience (e.g. Canva, Adobe Suite) will be highly regarded
• Confident, proactive, and personable in your approach to work

Up to £32,000 PA + commission and an exceptionally attractive benefits package. Enjoy an inclusive, welcoming team environment with regular social events.

1 day per week onsite with flexibility around working hours (usual hours are 09:00 - 17:00).

Please note: you may be required to attend the office more frequently during the initial onboarding period.
