Sydney, Australia

Sales Development Representative

Start date: 1 - 15 February 2027

Role overview

This is a high-activity, early-stage sales role at the front of Vectra's sales engine. As a member of the Sales team, you will generate qualified pipeline for our Business Development Managers and Account Directors through outbound prospecting, inbound follow-up and campaign activity across the ANZ market.

You will be the first conversation many organisations have with Vectra, opening doors for our consulting and assurance services and our independent software vendors (ISV). You will report to Sales management, with clear development pathways into Business Development Manager roles.

Key responsibilities

Outbound Prospecting

  • Research and prospect into target accounts and personas (CIO, CISO, IT and risk leaders) using calls, email, LinkedIn and multi-touch sequences.
  • Meet or exceed weekly and monthly targets for activity, qualified meetings and pipeline generated.
  • Build and maintain targeted account and contact lists for priority segments and verticals.

Inbound & Campaign Follow-up

  • Be the first point of contact for inbound enquiries, responding quickly and routing qualified leads to the right seller or specialist.
  • Follow up marketing campaigns, webinars, events and ISV partner programs to convert interest into meetings.

Qualification & Handover

  • Run discovery conversations to understand client challenges and qualify opportunities against agreed criteria (e.g. BANT).
  • Book meetings for BDMs and Account Directors and provide clear, well-documented handovers.
  • Learn to position Vectra's offerings - identity, data protection, cloud security, offensive security, artificial intelligence and risk management at a conversational level.

CRM & Reporting

  • Keep CRM records accurate and up to date, logging all activity, contacts and opportunities.
  • Report activity and results to the Sales Development Manager and share market feedback on what messaging is working.

Team Contribution

  • Work closely with fellow SDRs, BDMs, Marketing and our Consultants, sharing insights and contributing to playbooks and messaging.
  • Participate in regular coaching, training and vendor enablement to build sales and cyber security knowledge.

What we're looking for

  • 1 - 2 years of experience in sales development, lead generation, inside sales or a customer-facing role, ideally in technology, IT services or SaaS.

  • Strong interest in cyber security and a willingness to learn quickly; prior IT or cyber exposure is an advantage but not essential.

  • Confidence picking up the phone and starting conversations with senior decision-makers.

  • Resilience, drive and a competitive, target-focused mindset.

  • Organised and disciplined, with the ability to manage high activity levels and follow-up.

  • Familiarity with CRM and prospecting tools is highly regarded.

  • A degree in business, marketing, IT or a related field, or equivalent experience.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Benefits

Competitive base salary plus bonus on meetings and conversion, flexible working arrangements, structured sales and cyber security training, and a clear career pathway into Business Development Manager roles within a growing cybersecurity business.
