About Us:

At Knowledge Gate Group, we’re passionate about bridging the gap between the research lab and industry. We connect industry-leading life science organizations with the insights and expertise they need to drive meaningful decisions.

Role Overview:

We're looking for a proactive, resilient, and relationship-driven Sales Development Representative (SDR) to help us build something new.

This is a pipeline-building role, focused primarily on outbound prospecting and generating qualified opportunities for our sales team. You will be responsible for identifying target accounts, engaging key decision-makers, and booking high-quality meetings within life sciences and pharmaceuticals.

Your primary responsibility is to create new business opportunities through consistent outbound outreach and strategic prospecting.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy opening doors where none existed before, and get energy from starting conversations that turn into real opportunities, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and manage a strong outbound pipeline through cold calling, email outreach, LinkedIn prospecting, and follow-ups
• Identify and research target accounts within pharma, biotech, life sciences, market research firms, and consultancies
• Engage decision-makers and qualify leads based on fit and opportunity potential
• Book high-quality meetings for Account Executives and senior sales team members
• Maintain accurate CRM records and track outreach activity consistently
• Collaborate closely with Account Executives to ensure smooth handoff of qualified opportunities
• Gather market feedback from conversations to help refine positioning and outreach strategy
• Consistently hit activity and meeting targets

What We’re Looking For:

• 1–3 years of experience in sales, business development, lead generation, or outbound prospecting (experience in knowledge services, professional services, or life sciences is a plus - but not essential)
• Comfortable with high-volume outbound activity, including daily cold calling
• Resilient and persistent - you understand that outbound takes consistency and are willing to learn
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Highly organized and detail-oriented
• Competitive, target-driven mindset with a desire to grow into a closing role over time
• Curious and proactive - you enjoy researching accounts and tailoring outreach to get the job done
• Coachable and eager to improve

Why Join KGG?

• Accelerated career growth with a clear path into Account Executive or vertical ownership roles
• High visibility and direct impact on building our consultancy and private equity vertical
• A dynamic and engaging environment with a diverse international team
• Competitive base salary plus performance-based incentives tied to meetings and pipeline generation
• Flexible work environment and support for professional development
• Opportunity to make your mark in a fast-evolving company at the forefront of decentralized science
