You will own outbound prospecting across phone, email, and social, run multi-channel sequences, and consistently convert targeted accounts into booked meetings.

Key responsibilities

  • Book qualified meetings for Account Executives in the US and UK, meeting monthly and quarterly meeting targets.
  • Execute high-volume, high-quality outbound through:
    • Cold calling, voicemail strategy, and follow-up call patterns
    • Mobile outreach such as WhatsApp, iMessage, etc as required

    • Social touches (LinkedIn and similar) to create familiarity and momentum
  • Build and run multi-channel campaigns by persona, segment, and trigger event.
  • Research accounts and contacts to create personal outreach angles that do not sound templated.
  • Use AI tools responsibly to accelerate research, list building, call prep, summarization, and first-draft messaging, while ensuring final output is natural and tailored.
  • Qualify interest and fit using defined discovery criteria (ICP, pain, timing, stakeholders, current solutions).
  • Maintain clean CRM and sequencing hygiene: activity logging, dispositioning, follow-up tasks, and contact/account updates.
  • Partner closely with US and UK reps to align on target accounts, messaging, handoff quality, and feedback loops.
  • Track and report on results and iterate based on performance data (open and reply rates, connection rates, meetings set, show rates, conversion).
    What success looks like (90-day outcomes)
    Fully ramped on ICP, messaging, tools, and calling motions for both US and UK territories.
    Consistently hitting weekly activity and quality standards across calls, emails, and social touches.
    Delivering a steady flow of qualified meetings that convert into real pipeline.
    Demonstrating strong judgment on personalization, follow-up, and when to push versus pause.
    Required qualifications
    1 to 3+ years in SDR/BDR or equivalent outbound prospecting role.
    Proven ability to cold call confidently and handle objections with composure.
    Strong writing skills, you can write emails that sound like a real person and get replies.
    Experience running multi-channel outbound sequences (calls, email, LinkedIn) with measurable results.
    Comfort operating in a hybrid work environment, self-managed day-to-day, effective in-office and remote.
    Competency with CRM and sequencing tools (e.g., HubSpot, LemList, Lusha, Apollo, etc.).
    High attention to detail and strong time management.
    Preferred qualifications
    Experience prospecting into both US and UK markets, including timezone-aware cadences.
    Familiarity with AI-assisted workflows for outbound (research, summarization, personalization, call notes), with a strong bias toward authenticity.
    Track record of creative outbound approaches that improve connect and reply rates.
    Skills and attributes
    Clear, confident phone presence, you can build trust quickly.
    Curious researcher, you find the detail that makes outreach relevant.
    Persistent and organized, you follow up without being sloppy or spammy.
    Coachable, you test, learn, and iterate.
    Professional and respectful, you can be direct without being aggressive.
    Tools and environment
    Hybrid schedule, consistent overlap with US and UK teams.
    Standard SDR stack: CRM, sequencing platform, dialer, data tools, and AI enablement tools.
    Benefits:
    25 days holiday + Public Holidays
    Employer Pension Scheme (we match your pension contributions at 5% every month)
    Life Assurance Scheme x 4 salary

How Many Cloud Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cloud Job?

If you are aiming for a role in cloud computing, it can feel like the skills list never ends. One job advert asks for AWS, Terraform and Kubernetes. Another mentions Azure DevOps, PowerShell and ARM templates. A third throws in Docker, Python, Linux, CI/CD, monitoring tools and security frameworks. It is no surprise that many cloud job seekers feel overwhelmed before they even apply. Here is the reality most cloud hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every cloud tool. They are hiring you because you understand cloud concepts, can design reliable systems, manage costs, keep things secure and support real workloads. Tools matter, but only when they support outcomes. So how many cloud computing tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most roles, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than scattered.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Cloud Computing Job Applications (UK Guide)

anding a job in cloud computing can be highly competitive — especially in the UK market where demand far outpaces supply in many segments. Whether you’re aiming for roles in Cloud Engineering, DevOps, Site Reliability, Cloud Architecture, Security, Data/Analytics, or Platform Operations, hiring managers screen applications quickly and with specific priorities in mind. Hiring managers don’t read every detail at first; they scan for critical signals in the first 10–20 seconds. These early signals determine whether your CV gets read more closely, whether your LinkedIn profile gets clicked, and whether you’re invited to interview. This guide breaks down, in practical terms, exactly what hiring managers look for first in cloud computing applications — and what you should emphasise in your CV, cover letter and portfolio to stand out on www.cloudcomputingjobs.co.uk .

The Skills Gap in Cloud Computing Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Cloud computing underpins almost every modern digital service. From financial systems and healthcare platforms to AI, e-commerce, government infrastructure and cybersecurity, the cloud is now the default operating environment for UK organisations. Demand for cloud professionals has grown rapidly, with roles spanning architecture, engineering, security, DevOps, platform operations and cost optimisation. Salaries remain high, and vacancies remain stubbornly difficult to fill. Yet despite a growing number of graduates with computer science, IT and software engineering degrees, employers across the UK report a persistent problem: Too many candidates are not job-ready for real cloud computing roles. This is not a question of intelligence or motivation. It is a structural skills gap between what universities teach and what cloud jobs actually require. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities do well, what they consistently miss, why the gap exists, what employers genuinely want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in cloud computing.
