We’re hiring a senior SDR to support our Account Executive team, mentor junior SDRs, and accelerate pipeline development in new markets. This is a high-growth role for motivated self-starters with SaaS Sales Development experience. You’ll own top-of-funnel outreach, book qualified meetings, and become an expert in our customers, product, and pitch. This is your chance to get in early and support our growing team of SDRs and Account Executives.

* Track activity, log meetings, and maintain CRM hygiene (we use HubSpot).
* Learn how SaaS sales works from the ground up—this is a career-building role.
### **Who You Are**

* You're fiercely competitive. You strive to outperform expectations and set new records
* You're willing to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty, diving into any challenge headfirst.

* You’re coachable and hungry to get better every day.
* You’re energized by customers and like to talk with people, not just push product.
