Tarkine Consulting has been engaged to secure a Sales Development Representative for a fast-growing technology consulting firm building genuinely agentic AI solutions for Australian enterprise. Our client helps businesses replace slow, manual, people-heavy operations with AI-led managed services, deploying agentic AI across functions like customer service, collections, accounts receivable and payable, and loan processing. With a delivery footprint across Australia and Manila, they pair proprietary IP with hands-on onshore/offshore delivery teams to run these functions end-to-end on behalf of their clients.
The results speak for themselves: clients have seen multi-day, manual processes compressed to same-day turnaround, customer service teams cut down to a fraction of their original headcount, and collections performance lifted well beyond what a manual team could achieve, all fully automated end-to-end.
Why Apply?
- Direct access to the Founder: this is a genuinely flat structure. You'll work alongside the Founder day to day, learning the market, the pitch and the product directly from him rather than through layers of management or a formal training program.
- A real, differentiated platform to sell into conversations: proprietary IP, live case studies and measurable client outcomes, not a concept still being proven.
- Full ownership of the outbound process, from account research through to a booked, qualified meeting — genuine autonomy for someone who wants to prove what they can build.
- An uncapped bonus structure weighted toward quality meetings and downstream outcomes, not just call volume.
- A foundational hire in the sales function of a fast-growing business, with the opportunity to shape how outbound is done as the team grows.
What You'll Do
- Research target accounts and identify the right contacts to approach.
- Cold call, and LinkedIn and personalised email outreach, to senior operational and technology leaders, COO, CIO, transformation leads, operations leads and equivalent.
- Qualify prospects against a clear standard before booking a meeting.
- Book and confirm meetings and prepare the Founder with account research and briefing notes ahead of each one.
- Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene and a disciplined follow-up cadence.
- Nurture prospects who are interested but not yet ready to engage.
What You Bring
- 12 to 24 months of genuine, hands-on outbound sales experience, cold calling, LinkedIn outreach, personalised email prospecting. This is not a graduate program.
- Confidence initiating contact with senior executives, even without deep technical or automation knowledge.
- Strong written communication and a professional, articulate phone manner.
- Genuine organisation and CRM discipline you follow a process rather than working ad hoc.
- Resilience and coachability, comfortable with rejection and a repetitive outbound cadence.
- You don't need to be able to solution, price or close. That side of the sale stays with the Founder — your job stops at a booked, qualified meeting.
What's on Offer
- Market salary package and super. Plus, Uncapped meeting accelerators weighted toward quality and downstream outcomes, taking on-target earnings
- Direct, hands-on mentoring from the Founder — you'll learn the business, the pitch and the market by working alongside him rather than through a formal enablement program.
- A genuine platform to sell proprietary IP, live case studies and real, quantified client outcomes.
