Sales Development Representative I

Security and operations teams face more data, more alerts, and less time. Sumo Logic helps them turn that data into action with AI-powered SIEM and log analytics in a single platform.

As a sales development representative (SDR), you start those conversations. You’ll connect with security and cloud operations leaders and practitioners to learn what slows their teams down, and show how Sumo Logic can help. You’ll hand qualified opportunities to our account executives and build the foundation for a successful sales career.

Communication is the heart of the role. You’ll write concise, relevant outreach, lead confident discovery calls, and present Sumo Logic’s value in plain language. You will target personas such as a SOC analyst, a cloud engineer, or a CISO. You’ll adapt your message to each of them and explain technical ideas clearly enough to earn trust, whether you’re on a call, in an email thread, or on video.

Research target accounts and identify the right contacts in security, IT, and cloud operations.

The best SDRs listen first. You’ll ask thoughtful questions, stay curious about each team’s challenges, and pay attention to what’s said and what isn’t. That means surfacing the real issues behind alert fatigue, tool sprawl, slow investigations, and rising costs. Then you’ll connect them to how Sumo Logic helps. You’ll capture what you learn and hand it off cleanly, so the next conversation picks up where yours left off.
