The role
This is the front of the funnel for Codeeo in United Kingdom. You research and reach companies that are likely to need what we build, by phone, email, LinkedIn and in person where it makes sense, and you qualify them: do they have the need, the budget, the timing and a person who can decide. A qualified conversation becomes a booked meeting for a business development manager, with your notes in the CRM, and you stay on the deal through to close. You work from a target list we build with you, a sequence we refine together, and a clear definition of what a qualified meeting is.
The UK market
Who you will sell to in the United Kingdom.
The United Kingdom is where most of our white label partners operate and where we are building a direct client base. Buyers are agencies, consultancies and mid sized businesses that want senior engineering at a sensible cost, GDPR aligned delivery, a fixed scope and a supplier that writes clearly. Decisions are considered and relationships last.
