The ideal candidate is a senior-level SDR or technically fluent sales professional who understands that selling to CTOs requires a different approach than traditional high-volume prospecting.
You should be able to pick up the phone and have an intelligent conversation about technology without pretending to be an engineer.
Candidates with backgrounds such as the following are especially relevant:
- B2B SaaS SDR / BDR
- Technical SDR
- Technology sales
- Engineering staffing or technical recruitment
- Software development recruitment
- Technical appointment setting
- Sales development within a technology-focused organization
A candidate who has worked around software engineers, technical hiring, or technology products will have a meaningful advantage.
- Performance incentive tied to qualified prospects attending their initial meeting with the sales team.
The overall commission opportunity is designed to provide approximately $500–$1,000+ in additional monthly earning potential for strong performers, with upside structured around performance.
This SDR will sit at the top of the company's Go-To-Market engine.
The role is responsible for creating the initial conversations that can eventually become significant, long-term client relationships. While some opportunities may convert quickly, the company's sales process is fundamentally relationship-driven and strategic.
The successful SDR will therefore have an opportunity to become a foundational member of a growing sales organization, with the potential to take on greater responsibility as the team expands.
The company intends to build additional SDR capacity over time. A successful first hire will have the opportunity to grow alongside the sales organization and potentially take on greater responsibility as the Go-To-Market team develops.
There is also potential for a strong-performing contractor to transition into a more formal employment arrangement in the future, including access to additional benefits and equity opportunities, subject to company needs and performance.
