About Zelt:

Zelt is building the first unified employee platform that brings together HR, payroll, IT, onboarding, and automation into one seamless system. We’ve been recognised by G2 as a High Performer across HR and Payroll, the only European vendor with that status, and we’re expanding fast.

Why this role?

This isn’t just another SDR position. At Zelt, you will be joining at a pivotal stage of our growth, where the conversations you start will directly shape our pipeline and fuel our next phase.

You will be the first touchpoint for many future customers, creating strong first impressions and opening the right doors with thoughtful, strategic outreach. Your goal is to secure high-quality meetings that move the business forward, while mastering how to craft messaging that resonates, run multi-channel campaigns, and build relationships with senior decision makers.

You will work closely with our CEO and Account Executives on meaningful opportunities, gaining visibility across the full sales cycle and setting yourself up for rapid progression into AE or other strategic roles. This role combines ownership, direct access to leadership, and a clear path to grow, giving you the chance to accelerate your career at exactly the right time in Zelt’s journey.

Your role:

  • Be the first touchpoint for many of Zelt’s future customers, creating strong first impressions
  • Generate qualified meetings through targeted outreach across cold calling, email, and LinkedIn
  • Qualify inbound leads with care and engage outbound prospects with energy
  • Build and optimise outreach campaigns, testing new approaches to improve response rates
  • Track performance, learn from patterns, and continuously refine messaging and targeting
  • Collaborate with AEs and growth on ICP definition and campaign strategy.


What we’re looking for:

  • First experience with outbound sales or lead generation in a B2B environment (SaaS a plus)
  • Strong written communication and attention to detail, especially in outreach
  • A curious, analytical mindset, always learning from what works and what doesn’t
  • Energy, ownership, and a structured way of working
  • Familiarity with tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator, HubSpot, and Excel
  • Fluent in English.


Why join us:

  • Sell a differentiated, technically excellent product in a massive market
  • Work directly with the CEO and AEs on high-impact deals
  • Join at a pivotal time as Zelt scales rapidly across Europe
  • Be part of a sales culture that values clarity, ownership, and high standards
  • Clear progression from SDR to AE and beyond
  • Great perks: health insurance, equity, airline miles bonus, and a beautiful central London office.


Let’s build something better.

If you are motivated to learn fast, sell with substance, and join a team on a steep growth trajectory, we would love to hear from you.

UAV & Drone Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the UK UAV (uncrewed aerial vehicle) and drone jobs market is maturing fast. The “shiny new toy” phase is over. Public expectations and regulation are tougher, budgets are more closely scrutinised, and clients want measurable outcomes – safer inspections, faster data, lower costs, better evidence – not just impressive footage. At the same time, demand for UAV services in infrastructure inspection, construction, energy, agriculture, emergency response, defence and media continues to grow. Long-term trends like asset digitisation, smart cities, and net-zero infrastructure all rely on high-quality aerial data and remote operations. The result: fewer opportunistic one-off drone gigs, and more emphasis on professional UAV operations, data workflows and compliant, scalable services. Whether you’re: A job seeker looking for “UAV jobs in the UK”, “drone pilot jobs UK”, or “remote UAS operator roles”, or A recruiter or hiring manager trying to understand “UAV hiring trends 2026” and “how to hire drone pilots and UAS engineers”, …this guide breaks down what’s changing – and what to do about it.

UAV (Drones) Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK unmanned aviation (UAV/UAS/RPAS) hiring has shifted from aircraft‑type buzzwords to capability‑driven evaluation across flight ops, autonomy, data products, safety & regulatory compliance. Employers want proof you can plan, fly, analyse and scale UAV systems safely and economically—VLOS/A2 CofC, GVC, BVLOS & SORA ops, UTM integrations, command‑and‑control resilience, sense‑and‑avoid, payload pipelines, and fleet reliability. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for UAV pilots/ops managers, flight test engineers, autonomy/perception, GNC/control, UTM/backend, safety & airworthiness, data processing/analysis, and field engineering roles. Who this is for: UAV pilots & flight ops, mission planners, flight test & safety engineers, autonomy/SLAM/perception, GNC/control engineers, embedded/avionics, communications & C2 links, UTM/airspace integrations, data processing (imagery/LiDAR/thermal), GIS/photogrammetry, maintenance & field techs, and programme/product managers in the UK.

Why UAV (Drone) Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have seen rapid adoption across sectors in the UK — agriculture, logistics, inspection, mapping, delivery, search & rescue, environmental monitoring, media, defence, and more. As UAV use proliferates, the roles supporting them are shifting. Modern UAV careers are no longer just about aerodynamics, electronics or autopilot algorithms. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design — because flying machines in public airspace must be safe, trusted, legal, intuitive and well communicated. In this article, we’ll explore why UAV careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with UAV work, and what job-seekers & employers should do to adapt.
