Founding Sales Development Representative (SDR)

Every B2B buyer wants to hear from a company's current customers before making a buying decision. As AI makes every market 10x more competitive, a company's ability to unlock and activate the voices of its happy customers isn't just a nice-to-have; it's the only moat. Peerbound makes this possible at scale.

Today, we do this for leading B2B SaaS companies like AlphaSense, Braze, Canva, Databricks, and Gong. We have the rare opportunity to disrupt not just multiple old-school software vendors, but entire categories of software, services, and labor.

Our core values are Dazzle Customers, Deliver Results, and Demand Excellence. We recruit people with a demonstrated track record of excellence and give them the room to do the best work of their lives. If this sounds like the environment where you do your best work, we invite you to build with us.

We are proud to be an NYC company, working hard in-person at our office near Penn Station. Our founders helped build Braze and Datadog, two of the city's biggest IPOs, and we're backed by the venture investors behind Square, Instacart, Airtable, and Webflow.

2. Why now

We've spent two years earning product-market fit the hard way: 30 enterprise customers who pay us real money and keep doubling down. We have 4 years of runway and it’s now time to accelerate. 

The product ‘wows’ on the first demo. The ICP is clear. The pain is real and every GTM leader we talk to feels it. What we need now is a high-agency individual with leadership potential who can build a repeatable, scalable sales motion on top of this strong foundation.

We already have one successful SDR, and are now looking to level up the function as we bring on our first AE hires. This is still a founding role: the outbound playbook is early, the territory is wide open, and you'll have a direct hand in shaping how Peerbound builds pipeline.

3. What you’ll do

Your job is to generate qualified pipeline for our founding AEs. Purely outbound. No warm inbound queue to sit behind.

Prospect with precision. Research target accounts and build lists of Marketing, Customer Marketing, and Content leaders at B2B SaaS companies. Know the account before you reach out. Understand the pain before you pick up the phone.

Book meetings through any channel that works. Cold calls, email, LinkedIn, events, creative plays. We don't care how you get the meeting as long as it's with the right person and they show up ready to talk. We expect a well-rounded seller who can work multiple channels, not just one.

Build the outbound playbook. We have early messaging and sequences that are working. But we want you to test, iterate, and build what you know works. Our CRM is clean, the market is wide open, and customers love the product. The territory is yours to run.

Collaborate, don't wait. You'll work closely with our AEs and CEO on messaging, positioning, and feedback loops. But this is not a hand-holding role. You'll have support and context, but you need to be self-directed.

4. Who you are

Ideally 1-2 years in an SDR / BDR role selling B2B SaaS, but open to entry-level candidates with a demonstrated track record of excellence.

You're fast. You can learn a new product, a new market, and a new buyer persona quickly and start producing before anyone expects you to. You're agile on the phone and sharp in writing. You can think on your feet when a prospect pushes back and adjust your approach in real time.

Beyond the metrics: you're hungry, coachable, and competitive in the way that raises the bar for everyone around you. You want to be at a company where your work is visible, your growth is fast, and you have a clear path to AE in 12 months’ time. You treat SDR not as a stepping stone you're trying to rush through, but as a craft you want to master on the way up.

5. Compensation

OTE of $90,000 to $110,000/year plus meaningful equity and benefits (fully covered medical / vision / dental, 401K, flexible PTO). In-person 5 days a week in our NYC office near Penn Station.

6. Note from the CEO

This company represents my life's work. I've been part of two IPOs, and I want to build the kind of company at Peerbound where working here marks an inflection point in everyone's career, and leads to the kind of bonds that last a lifetime.

This is one of our first SDR hires. When I am evaluating talent for this role, I weigh future leadership potential highly because I believe we’re hiring the sales leaders of the future. I've seen SDRs at early-stage companies go on to become the best closers, leaders, and founders in their industries. That trajectory starts with someone who's willing to do the work, learn fast, and hold themselves to a higher standard than anyone asks of them.

If this is you, we'd love to meet you.
