• Career Growth: Bespoke training and career development via "Sherpa plans” to guide your growth.
• Private Medical Insurance: Fully covered health care.
• Mental Health Support: Employee Assistance Program offering 24/7 confidential counselling, with access to ‘healthier living’ services such as ‘HeadSpace’.
• Family Care Package: Up to 6 months fully paid maternity leave, and 2 months paternity leave.

About the Role

Reporting to: James Bardwell, Sales Director

Location: London (Hybrid 2 days/week)

Interviews: 3 Stages

Start Date: ASAP

More info: See FAQ below, our candidate hub, or reach out to recruitment@adthena.com

The Role

• This is a phone job. 100 dials a day into your assigned accounts.
• AI writes the emails and builds the account research; you have the conversations.
• Book qualified meetings with Directors, VPs and the C-suite for our AEs.
• Hit your monthly meeting target, then earn your way to AE.

What We Look For

Intelligence

• You think on your feet when a call goes off-script
• You tell a real pain point from a polite brush-off
• You learn fast. Paid search and ChatGPT Ads in your first month

Character

• 100 dials a day doesn't scare you
• Rejection doesn't stick
• You want to be an AE, and you'll earn it

Coachability

• You want your calls listened to and picked apart
• You try a new talk track the same day you hear it
• You take feedback without defending

Who we look for

Research shows men apply if they meet ~60% of the criteria, while women and underrepresented groups apply only if they meet all requirements. If you have the skills but don't meet every requirement, reach out – we'd love to explore how you could be a great fit!

Experience:

• 3–18 months in sales, ideally B2B SaaS or tech
• Most of your outbound so far has been on the phone, not email sequences
• A record of booking meetings from cold calls, not just making dials

Our Core Values

All Adthenians are expected to align closely with our ‘Core Values’.

What it means...

• Get Shit Done: We're big on taking action, owning our challenges, and finding solutions.
• Freedom with Responsibility: We take charge of results to recognition. We know that our hustle not only moves the needle for the company but also sets us up for personal success.
• Deliver Remarkable Quality: We care about exceeding expectations in the work we do and aim to always do our best work as individuals and as a team.
• Smart & Always Improving: We strive daily to expand our knowledge and become better at what we do.
