- Report on activity and pipeline metrics using CRM and sales engagement platforms.
- Celebrate wins, identify areas for improvement, and foster a culture of accountability and growth.
Who You Are
- Experienced: 2 years in a SaaS BDR/SDR, Inside Sales, or similar role with a strong track record of generating qualified pipeline.
- A Natural Coach: You get energy from helping others grow and leading by example.
- A Top Performer: You consistently hit — or beat — your goals and want to help a team do the same.
- Process-minded: You enjoy improving workflows, dialing in outreach sequences, and sharing best practices.
- Tech-comfortable: You’ve used CRM and outbound tools (Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, SalesLoft, etc.).
- Career-driven: You’re ambitious, adaptable, and excited about a fast path to AE.
Why You’ll Love This Role
- Join a fast-scaling AI company that’s redefining customer engagement.
- Leadership opportunity without giving up the rush of selling.
- Shape the playbook and develop the next generation of SaaS BDR talent.
- Competitive base commission defined career advancement track to AE.
- Supportive, collaborative environment with leadership that invests in professional growth.
