iwoca.co.uk - Growth Associate - M&A Platform

• You don't need to be a marketer or have years of experience. You need to be smart, resourceful and quick to learn from what isn't working, and to want ownership of something real. • You're entrepreneurial. You've started, sold or built something, even if it was small, and you don't wait for a plan before getting going. • You write well. Your messages are short, clear and human, the kind a busy owner actually answers, and you're just as at ease on the phone with someone who has spent thirty years building their business. • You follow through. A reply that never becomes a meeting is a lead lost. • You're honest about results. You'd rather report a bad week than dress it up. • You're AI-savvy. You use AI to research, personalise and write at a scale one person couldn't otherwise reach, and you automate whatever you find yourself doing twice. • Some experience in outreach, sales or growth, whether in an SDR or BDR role, marketing, a startup or a project of your own. Evidence of initiative matters more than a polished CV. • Numerate and analytical. Working out who to contact is as much of this job as contacting them. • Comfortable with rejection. Most owners won't reply, and plenty who do won't be ready yet. • A genuine interest in SMEs, M&A or how businesses change hands. • Based in London and available full-time. • Hands-on with outbound tools such as HubSpot or LinkedIn Sales Navigator. • You've worked to a meetings or pipeline target, and hit it. • Experience building a targeting or lead-scoring model.
