Work Experience

Company: Unscripted Academy

Company Description
Unscripted Academy delivers practical, improv-led programmes designed to close the human skills gap across education and the workplace.
Through improv, role-play, guided conversation, and storytelling, we help students, apprentices, and professionals build confidence, communication, adaptability, and resilience in ways that feel lived, not just discussed.
As a King's Trust-supported business, we work across colleges, universities, apprenticeship providers, and corporate environments, with clients and partners including the London School of Economics and Political Science, University College London, New City College, and Darktrace.
Role Description
This is a remote freelance SDR (Sales Development Representative) opportunity at Unscripted Academy.
We are looking to bring in up to three SDRs, each focused on a specific area:
* Schools & Summer Schools
* Apprenticeship Providers & Training Organisations
* Corporate Training & Workplace Learning
The role focuses on identifying relevant organisations, finding the right decision-makers, and starting thoughtful conversations that lead to booked meetings for the founder.
You’ll handle outreach across LinkedIn and email, introducing organisations to Unscripted Academy’s practical approach to communication, collaboration, and professional development.
This is not a high-volume sales role. We care deeply about our brand's reputation and the quality of our relationships, so we’re looking for people who can communicate intelligently and represent the company well.
You’ll work closely with the founder, who has experience leading sales teams and will provide direct guidance and mentorship throughout the role.
What The Role Offers:
* Fully remote and flexible working
* Freelance structure
* Commission-only compensation
* High autonomy and ownership
* Direct mentorship from the founder
* Opportunity to grow with an ambitious early-stage company
This role is very much “get out what you put in” and suits someone who is entrepreneurial, proactive, and interested in relationship-led outreach.
Qualifications
* Strong written communication skills
* Excellent research and organisational abilities
* Comfortable speaking with senior professionals
* Interest in consultative sales and outreach
* Close attention to detail and professionalism
* Confident using LinkedIn, email, and CRM systems
* Curious, adaptable, and emotionally intelligent
* Previous SDR, recruitment, or outreach experience is a plus, but not essential.
