About the Role

The Sales Development Representative (SDR) at Turn is an entry point into a high-growth sales career. You'll be on the front lines of our go-to-market motion: researching prospects, generating qualified pipeline, and setting the stage for our senior sales team to close. This role is ideal for someone who has had some exposure to sales or a customer-facing environment and is ready to take the next step in a metrics-driven, fast-paced startup.


You'll work closely with sales leadership to execute outbound campaigns, follow up on inbound leads, and develop a deep understanding of Turn's platform and the background screening space. If you're hungry, coachable, and excited about selling technology that genuinely helps companies hire better and faster — this role is for you.

  • Meet and track weekly KPIs including outreach volume, connect rates, and meetings booked

  • Collaborate with marketing on campaign feedback and messaging refinement

  • Learn and articulate Turn's value proposition across key verticals including staffing, gig economy, healthcare, and retail


Qualifications

  • 1–2 years of experience in a sales, business development, recruiting, or customer-facing role

  • Demonstrated ability to communicate clearly and persuasively in writing and on the phone

  • Comfortable working in a self-directed, remote environment with strong time management skills

  • Familiarity with CRM tools (HubSpot preferred) and sales engagement platforms

  • Experience with LinkedIn for professional outreach is a plus

  • Ability to receive and act on feedback quickly, you're accountable and growth-oriented

  • Bachelor's degree preferred but not required with relevant experience

  • Prior exposure to SaaS, HR tech, or background screening is a bonus, not a requirement


Perks & Compensation

  • Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and vision

  • Competitive vacation policy

  • Work alongside a tight-knit team of experienced operators who will invest in your development
