Responsibilities

The Account Development Representative (ADR) is responsible for generating qualified pipeline through structured outbound prospecting. Working closely with Account Executives and the broader EMIA Sales Development team, the ADR identifies, engages, and qualifies prospects within assigned accounts — converting outreach activity into Stage 1 qualified opportunities (S1s) that progress through the sales cycle.

This role suits a motivated, coachable individual who is eager to build a career in enterprise B2B sales.

Key Responsibilities:

•    Conduct outbound prospecting through phone, email, and social channels to identify and engage potential buyers within assigned target accounts.
•    Qualify prospects using the SPICED framework, ensuring opportunities meet the criteria for a Stage 1 qualified opportunity (S1) before handoff to Account Executives.
•    Facilitate and participate in introductory calls, confirming genuine interest, stakeholder alignment, and a credible path forward.
•    Consistently meet or exceed the quarterly S1 qualified opportunity quota, as defined in the annual compensation plan.
•    Drive stage progression by maintaining momentum on qualified opportunities and supporting S1-to-S2 conversion in collaboration with Account Executives.
•    Follow up systematically with prospects not yet qualified, identifying alternative stakeholders or decision-makers where initial contacts do not progress.
•    Develop and execute multi-channel outreach strategies — including personalised email sequences, social selling, and phone outreach — to improve engagement and conversion rates.
•    Build deep knowledge of Octave's product portfolio, key buyer personas, and the industry segments relevant to your assigned accounts.
•    Operate within the Account-Based Prospecting (ABP) methodology, adhering to the Ideal Client Profile (ICP) and account assignments provided by your team lead.
•    Maintain accurate, up-to-date records in GO Win CRM and execute outreach sequences through Salesloft, following team standards for data hygiene and activity logging.
•    Collaborate closely with Account Executives to accelerate pipeline creation and align prospecting efforts with key account strategies.
•    Stay current with evolving company goals, target segments, and account assignments, adapting approach as directed.
