About the Company
A fast-growing B2B AI infrastructure company is looking for a Sales Development Representative to build and own its outbound sales motion from the ground up.
The company serves organizations with significant AI infrastructure spend, helping them manage and optimize costs while maintaining performance. It’s an early-stage, founder-led team actively building its go-to-market playbook, and is bringing on foundational sales hires to help shape that process from day one.
About the Role
This role starts as an SDR focused on outbound prospecting and filling a qualified meeting pipeline for the founder, then expands into full-cycle ownership of discovery, demos, and closing after an initial ramp period. The rep will navigate both technical and financial stakeholders, educate prospects on a relatively new category, and help refine messaging and targeting in real time.
Core Responsibilities
Lead Generation & Prospecting
- Build targeted account lists based on company size, intent signals, and firmographic fit using tools like Apollo and Clay
- Execute multi-channel outbound campaigns across email, LinkedIn, and cold calling to generate qualified meetings
- Identify and research key decision-makers across technical and financial buying groups within target accounts
- Continuously refine outbound messaging and targeting based on response and conversion data
Calendar Management & Meeting Setup
- Book and manage a high volume of qualified discovery calls during core US Eastern business hours
- Participate in early-stage sales calls to absorb product knowledge, objection handling, and qualification criteria
- Conduct post-call debriefs to refine lead qualification standards
Sales Execution & Pipeline Ownership
- Transition into full-cycle ownership of assigned pipeline: prospecting through discovery, demo, and close
- Qualify and prioritize opportunities using account-level usage or spend data
- Navigate technical sales conversations involving infrastructure, integrations, and ROI-based value propositions
Sales Process & Tool Optimization
- Operate across the core sales stack (e.g., Apollo, Clay, and scheduling/CRM tools) to manage outreach and pipeline
- Use AI-assisted workflows to support lead research, qualification, and coordination across tools
- Share process feedback to help shape and improve the sales playbook as it’s built
Must-Have
- 2+ years of B2B outbound sales experience with full-cycle prospecting ownership (list-building through qualification)
- Documented experience selling a technical or non-self-serve product requiring buyer education and objection handling (e.g., infrastructure, developer tools, or data platforms)
- Proven multi-stakeholder sales experience, navigating both technical and financial buyers within a single deal
- Hands-on use of outbound sales tools such as Apollo, Clay, SalesLoft, or Outreach for lead generation and sequencing
- Track record of measurable outbound performance (quota attainment, meetings booked, or pipeline generated, with reported metrics)
- Demonstrated career progression within sales (e.g., SDR to AE) within 12–24 months at a single employer
- C2 English (CEFR) — native or near-native fluency with the ability to navigate technical terminology in real time
Nice-to-Have
Experience selling at a technical infrastructure or developer-tools company (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake, or comparable platforms)
Prior experience as a founding or early sales hire at an early-stage (Series A–B) startup, building outbound process from scratch
Experience qualifying leads using usage-based or spend-based metrics (e.g., cloud spend, API usage)
Familiarity with AI-assisted sales workflows (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) used for prospecting or lead qualification
Competitive Salary: Based on experience and skills
Remote Work: Fully remote—work from anywhere
Team Incentives: Recognition for maintaining 100% CRM hygiene and on-time reporting
Generous PTO: In accordance with company policy
Health Coverage for PH-based talents: HMO coverage after 3 months for full-time employees
Direct Mentorship: Guidance from international industry experts
Learning & Development: Ongoing access to resources for professional growth
Global Networking: Connect with professionals worldwide
