Official Job Description

We’re seeking a highly ambitious SDR / Junior Account Executive who is obsessed with figuring out how to get prospects on the phone and initiate meaningful conversations with Directors, VPs, and C-Levels in technology, data, and engineering about their most critical digital transformation challenges.

As one of the first members of the sales team, you’ll be on the front lines of our outbound strategy and an ambassador for our brand — reaching out to potential customers, qualifying leads, and directly fueling growth.

Initially, you’ll be filling the pipeline for the current sales team, working directly with them to close $200k to $750k services deals, before moving into a closing role in the following 12 to 18 months. Success will require a stellar work ethic, entrepreneurial mindset, and comfort and experience with executive-level communication.

• Work individually and with the leadership team to execute a high-volume outbound strategy for mid-market and enterprise accounts
• Build and maintain an outreach plan to ensure a steady flow of new leads in pursuit of our ambitious growth targets
• Engage prospects across multiple channels including phone, email, LinkedIn, and more
• Research prospects and identify key decision-makers that meet our Ideal Customer Profile
• Craft compelling and highly-tailored outreach messaging (50+ daily)
• Handle objections, qualify leads, and schedule meetings with prospects
• Manage, track, and report all interactions with prospects in our CRM (Pipedrive)
• Gather market insights and work with founders to refine the go-to-market playbook
• Conduct ongoing experiments on outbound processes to improve efficiency
• Consistently meet or exceed your daily, weekly, and monthly outbound activity KPIs

Requirements

• Experience with custom software and/or API-based developer tools and/or staff augmentation services is mandatory
• Demonstrable track record of meeting or exceeding quota (i.e., Top 1% work ethic and results)
• 2+ years of experience in lead generation, outbound prospecting, and/or closing
• Strong executive presence and aptitude to discuss company strategies with Directors, VPs, and C-Levels in technology, data, and engineering
• Superior written and verbal communication skills and excellent phone presence
• High degree of comfort with relationship building - today’s prospects are tomorrow’s referrals!
• Challenger Sale background is strongly preferred

Why you should take this job

• You thrive in high-pressure and ambiguous environments
• You have above-average hustle & grit, learn fast, and openly receive coaching
• You want responsibility and a chance to shape the trajectory of our company on Day 1
• You care about our mission and are willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen

Why you shouldn’t take this job

• Multiple rejections are demotivating
• You’re disorganized and need someone to tell you what to do
• Hours are going to be intense - we’re tackling a massive opportunity and need to move fast
• You’re seeking comfort over growth
