What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sales Development Representative (SDR) - Agency position at Searchable?
About Searchable
Searchable is an agentic marketing platform built for the age of AI search. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews have transformed how people discover information. Brands now need to measure and optimise their visibility across all of the major AI search engines.
We help companies grow their organic presence across SEO, AEO, and GEO through a fully agentic platform that identifies opportunities, recommends actions, and automates improvements with Searchable’s AI agent. We’re at $5M ARR in just 10 months, backed by top angels and VCs, and building the team that will define the category.
If you thrive in a startup culture where people put in hours because they love solving hard problems and taking radical ownership, you'll fit right in.
The Role
We’re looking for an SDR to own the top of the funnel for agency accounts across the U.S.
This is a high-velocity role. Inbound sign-ups need a reply in minutes, not days, and the outbound list is long. You’ll run more conversations in a week than most SDRs run in a month, and you’ll get good at telling within two questions which ones are worth a demo.
You’ll be prospecting into a category that barely existed eighteen months ago. The agencies you talk to know AI search is changing how their clients get found. Their clients are already asking about it, and most agencies don’t yet have the answer or the tooling to deliver it. That’s the conversation.
You’ll be one of our first SDRs in the U.S., with an SDR team already running in London. You’ll report to the Head of GTM and work day to day with our U.S. sales team, marketing and leadership.
What You’ll Do
We’re looking for someone who has done this before, and done it well.
You sell to pain, not features. You find what’s actually broken for a prospect and their clients, make them feel it, then position Searchable as the answer.
You qualify out as hard as you qualify in. At this volume, time spent on the wrong lead is the most expensive mistake you can make. You know why an opportunity is worth pursuing, and you walk away when it isn’t.
You build the playbook, not just run it. There’s no finished agency playbook for the U.S. yet. You’ll write parts of it as you go, and you’d rather do that than inherit someone else’s.
You like a scoreboard. Daily numbers and weekly targets. High KPIs don’t intimidate you, they motivate you.
Your First 90 Days

What You’ll Do
- Own the top of the funnel for SEO, digital and marketing agencies, from first touch to booked demo

- Comfortable with a high daily volume of calls and emails without the quality dropping
- Track record of hitting and exceeding meeting and pipeline targets
- Hands-on with a CRM, a sequencing platform and your own performance data
- Experience with a qualification framework (BANT or similar)
- Comfortable in a fast-moving, high-growth environment
