Job description

About Searchable

Searchable is an agentic marketing platform built for the age of AI search. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews have transformed how people discover information. Brands now need to measure and optimise their visibility across all of the major AI search engines.

We help companies grow their organic presence across SEO, AEO, and GEO through a fully agentic platform that identifies opportunities, recommends actions, and automates improvements with Searchable’s AI agent. We’re at $5M ARR in just 10 months, backed by top angels and VCs, and building the team that will define the category.

If you thrive in a startup culture where people put in hours because they love solving hard problems and taking radical ownership, you'll fit right in.

The Role

AI search is reshaping how the world discovers information and Searchable is at the centre of it.

We’re looking for an experienced Agency SDR to help own the top of the funnel at one of the most exciting early-stage companies in the space. This is a rare opportunity to join at the ground floor, make an immediate impact, and grow with a business that’s moving fast.

• Work closely with the SDR Lead to devise a top of funnel strategy
• Be the first point of contact for inbound leads and the driving force behind outbound prospecting across SEO, digital and marketing agencies

About You

We need someone who doesn’t wait to be told where to look. Someone who:

• Understands why an opportunity is worth pursuing and has the discipline and confidence to walk away when it isn’t. Qualifying out is just as important as qualifying in
• Runs toward targets, not away from them high KPIs don’t intimidate you, they motivate you
• A natural problem solver, someone who sees the gap and presents a solution to fill it
• Sells to pain, not features, you find what’s actually broken for a prospect and their clients, make them feel it, then position Searchable as the answer
• Leads with value in every interaction, whether written or verbal, you leave the prospect better informed than when you found them
• Experience holding conversations with agency founders, MDs or C-suite execs
• Thinks in systems, you understand why a process works, not just how to follow it
