About The Role
Unison Infrastructure is seeking a driven, resilient, and highly motivated Sales Development Associate to join our Denver team.
This is a prospecting-heavy role focused on generating new business through high-volume outbound activity. You will be responsible for identifying target prospects, conducting research, initiating conversations, qualifying opportunities, and setting meetings for the Account Executive team.
This role is ideal for someone who is competitive, coachable, comfortable with outreach, and eager to build a long-term career in sales. High-performing SDRs will be eligible for promotion to Account Executive within 8-12 months, based on performance, readiness, and business needs.

You will also partner closely with Account Executives and sales leadership to refine messaging, improve outreach strategy, and identify the highest-potential segments for new business development.
Key Responsibilities
The ideal candidate is energized by outbound prospecting and motivated by measurable goals. You should be comfortable picking up the phone, following up persistently, and improving through coaching and feedback.
