The Opportunity

This is a high-ownership SDR role on a small GTM team. You’ll own a book of accounts, prioritize using intent signals, and run outbound across email, LinkedIn, and phone to consistently book qualified meetings.

• Manage a defined book of accounts in the CRM and prioritize outreach using signals/intent
• Write and iterate messaging (emails, sequences, LinkedIn outreach) and test new approaches
• Qualify prospects and set high-quality meetings for AEs
• Maintain accurate activity tracking and pipeline notes in the CRM
• Collaborate closely with GTM leadership and AEs to continuously improve conversion

Requirements

• 0–2 years of professional experience (including internships); prior SDR/BDR experience is a plus but not required
• Strong written and verbal communication; comfortable with outbound and rejection
• Demonstrated drive and follow-through (examples could include leadership, competitive achievements, entrepreneurship, athletics, or other standout accomplishments)
• High-ownership mindset: you like figuring things out, running experiments, and improving your process
• Ability to work onsite 5 days/week in NYC; open to light travel (~5–10%)
• Authorized to work in the U.S. or able to work with sponsorship support (visa sponsorship available)
