About Ovyo

Ovyo is a B2B professional services firm powering the video-first future for global leaders in TV, Media, Broadcast, and Telco. Launched pre-pandemic, we’ve rapidly built a roster of household-name clients by delivering platforms, testing apps, and driving programs that redefine how the world connects. With a UK-based leadership team and technical hubs in India and Portugal, we’re now ready to scale faster—and that’s where you come in.


What You’ll Do

  • Pitch our outsourcing, managed services, and team-scaling solutions to video streaming, Pay-TV, media, broadcast, and telco prospects through presentations, calls, and attending industry events (e.g., IBC Amsterdam, NAB Las Vegas).
  • Build and nurture a pipeline by researching target organizations, identifying key contacts, and forging industry partnerships.
  • Prospect proactively by cold-calling and emailing senior decision-makers to uncover new opportunities.
  • Generate leads through creative outreach, leveraging LinkedIn and industry networks to spark conversations.
  • Connect, network, and build relationships with senior professionals in the industry.
  • Qualify inbound and outbound leads to ensure a steady flow of high-potential prospects.
  • Partner with marketing to craft and execute lead-gen campaigns, while boosting Ovyo’s brand on LinkedIn and beyond.
  • Shape and refine our CRM and sales strategy alongside the Chief Growth Officer and delivery teams.


Who You Are

  • A demonstrable track record in full lifecycle B2B sales, and proven experience in successful prospecting, targeting, and generation of leads.
  • Strong experience selling solutions and services at CxO’s level.
  • 4+ years’ experience selling professional services, outsourcing solutions, staff or team augmentation services (bonus if you’ve done this in the media & entertainment or satellite & comms sector).
  • You have a strong passion for sales enablement, social media, and understand the power of personal branding.
  • Track record of building partnerships and growing SMEs—not just corporate sales.
  • Collaborative, high-energy, and adaptable, with stellar communication skills.
  • You want uncapped growth potential – new countries, new service lines, and new offices are all in the pipeline for Ovyo, so the opportunities for personal growth, trying new roles, developing new skills, and taking on new challenges are endless.



Why Ovyo?

We’re a founder-led SME with over 240 people across the globe; we have big ambitions and a global client base. Our leadership—ex-Delivery Directors, CTOs, and Engineers from top firms—bring unmatched expertise in our chosen sectors. You’ll thrive here if you love impact, ingenuity, and ownership, with uncapped potential as we expand into new markets and services.


Location: the role is 100% remote with occasional travel to our UK HQ (in East Grinstead) and our offices in Coimbra, Portugal. We are looking for someone based in the UK or Europe for this position.
