My client builds AI agents for accounting teams - helping them get work done 10x faster with fewer manual Excel juggling and audit-ready accuracy. No ERP replacements. No black-box automation.

  • Identify and engage decision-makers and key stakeholders at target accounts
  • Run intro and discovery calls to understand prospect pain points and evaluate fit
  • Respond quickly to inbound interest and qualify meetings before handing off to AEs
  • Maintain clean, detailed activity and pipeline records in HubSpot (and/or Apollo)
  • Partner with Account Executives on messaging, prospect strategy, and smooth lead handoffs
  • Continuously refine outbound messaging, targeting, and campaigns as we scale


Who We’re Looking For

  • 1–3 years of experience in a Sales Development or other customer-facing role at a top-tier SaaS startup or leading accounting/consulting firm. (Ex big4)
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills—you can distill complex concepts into clear, conversational messaging.
  • Experience reaching out to finance or accounting decision-makers.
  • Strong understanding of financial operations and accounting concepts.
  • Proactive and action-oriented mindset—you take initiative.
  • Thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment while maintaining high attention to detail.
  • Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to prioritize and execute across multiple projects.
  • Analytical and curious, you enjoy experimenting with outreach strategies and using data to inform decisions.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with GTM, product, and leadership teams.


Why Join?

  • Clear path to AE - CRO has a track record of scaling SDRs - SVPs
  • Exposure to a modern GTM motion with smart, strategic buyers
  • You’ll be part of a collaborative, growing team where your work has immediate impact
  • Competitive salary, commission, and benefits
