Who are we?

UpGuard’s mission is to protect the world’s data. We obsessively seek out elegant, robust ways to enable our customers to find, acknowledge, and remediate cyber risks. With UpGuard, organizations leverage our security expertise and software to automate what was once laborious, spreadsheet-driven processes–whether it's monitoring the attack surface of hundreds of vendors or assessing the security of their own infrastructure. UpGuard is used by some of the world’s largest, fastest-growing, and most innovative companies.

Why are we hiring this role?

As an SDR at UpGuard, you will be creating and qualifying new opportunities, and booking meetings for our Account Executives. We’re looking for a driven individual who possesses an inquisitive mind, an excellent phone presence and enjoys the challenges of outbound prospecting.

• Identifying, targeting and nurturing potential outbound opportunities
• Qualifying inbound opportunities
• Understanding the needs of prospects and communicating them clearly to Account Executives
• Clearly articulating UpGuard’s value proposition and products to prospects, and positioning it based on their particular problem/need

• Ability to give and receive feedback – you will collaborate with our sales and marketing teams to drive process improvements

• Hybrid: While we have offices in Sydney & Hobart, we don’t mandate how often you need to be there. We focus on what you deliver, not where you deliver it from.
• Impact: Influence the direction and design of projects that push the boundaries of your field and see the impact of your work daily.
• Be part of an energetic team: Our team is highly collaborative, fostering a positive work environment that encourages creativity and innovation.
