We're hiring a Sales Development Representative to help build our pipeline and generate qualified conversations as we prepare for public launch.
Summary
Flexible Title: Can tailor to reflect your skills & experience.
Flexible Time: Can do full-time, part-time, side-gig (off-hours), or fractional (contract).
Flexible Commitment: Can do short-term, long-term, or intermittent.
Why so flexible? We're a FUNDED startup racing toward launch. Feel free to jump in, help us ship, then bounce >> or stick around. A successful launch translates into lots of permanent jobs for those that want them. We're also interested in long-term "side gig" relationships, if that's what you're into—in our experience, a few expert hours often beat full-time learning-curve hours.
About Us
We're a credible, funded, remote-first startup backed by a growing team. We're pre-launch and moving fast.
About The Role
We need someone who isn't afraid to reach out to strangers and start a conversation. Your job is outbound prospecting — finding the right people, reaching out through email, phone, and social, and booking qualified meetings for the team. You're not closing deals; you're opening doors.
This is a great fit for someone early in their sales career who wants real startup experience, or someone already in sales who wants a flexible side opportunity with equity upside. We'll give you the tools, the messaging, and the target list — you bring the hustle and the follow-through.
Compensation
Up to $65,000 base + commission, max total annual compensation in Tier 1 cities; cash and equity components to be negotiated. Given the flexible commitment model, comp will be structured accordingly — fractional or hourly arrangements welcome.
What You'll Do in Your First 7 Days
You've reviewed our target audience and understand who we're trying to reach
You've gotten access to outreach tools and started familiarizing yourself with the sequences
You've sent your first batch of outreach messages
You've attended your first team meeting and understand how pipeline is tracked
The team knows who you are, why you're here, and how you'll work together
What You'll Do Ongoing
Prospect and research — identify and qualify potential leads that match our target audience
Outbound outreach — reach out via email, phone, LinkedIn, and other channels to start conversations
Book qualified meetings — your goal is to generate conversations for the sales team, not to close
Follow up relentlessly — most deals come from the 3rd, 4th, 5th touchpoint; persistence is the job
Track everything — log all activity and conversations in the CRM so nothing gets lost
What We're Looking For
Must-haves:
Comfortable reaching out to people you don't know — cold outreach doesn't scare you
Can handle rejection and keep going — you understand that "no" is part of the process
Strong written communication — your emails and messages are clear, concise, and human
Organized — you can manage a pipeline of dozens of conversations without dropping any
Coachable — you take feedback, adjust your approach, and get better fast
Nice-to-have:
Previous SDR, BDR, or inside sales experience
Familiarity with outreach tools (Apollo, Outreach, Salesloft, or similar)
Experience with CRM tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar)
Comfortable in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
What You're NOT
Not a closer — you're opening doors, not negotiating contracts
Not a marketing role — you're doing 1-to-1 outreach, not campaigns
Not expected to have all the answers — we'll arm you with messaging and playbooks; you execute
