When I joined Connectd, I barely had any sales experience and was leaving the public sector to join (not your typical route into tech). One year into my career at Connectd, I was promoted and given the opportunity to build out the B2B sales function from scratch. This has involved coming up with product ideas, identifying the ideal customer profile, building the sales strategy/pitch/process and ultimately closing deals. Throughout my first year, the most important thing that I wanted was commercial freedom and autonomy over my work. Work hard and perform well at Connectd and there will be opportunities to progress quickly.

The products I'm working with on the B2B side revolves around Corporate Innovation. We identify the needs of our Corporate clients and then leverage our portfolio of start-ups to bring innovative solutions to the table, enabling growth, efficiency and often sustainability. The other side of this on the B2B side is that we take leaders from big corporates and place them in mentoring roles within tech-startup to encourage a culture of innovation within. This is my current focus and will be a huge part of the business. Our current core business is a growth ecosystem for the early-stage. Helping founders and startups grow and scale their companies which is super exciting.

There are some real A-players at Connectd which you can learn from. I specifically have learned b2c sales and now b2b sales but being in this environment and working in a founder ecosystem every day - you just seem to learn everything about startups and how to build a business.

It's small enough to be in close proximity to other functions and the SLT which provides an optimal environment for cross-functional collaboration which means you can get a fast track and holistic education in business generally.

We have very experienced leadership who have seen and done a lot and are also very accessible if you have questions and ideas. The younger employees, despite less experience, are also very bright and everybody here is open to a good old chinwag and working out ways we can become better as a collective.

Everybody at Connectd is in it together. Bright, ambitious, hard working individuals that want the best for both themselves and the team. Being able to communicate as easily with the SLT as you are the interns, questioning bureacracy and promoting freedom and flexibility to try new things is all incredibly conducive to a hypergrowth environment that is demonstrated by its 11% average month of month growth for the last 36 months or so (And counting!)
