Sales Development Rep - AI-Driven Team | Christchurch Based

About the Role As an SDR, you'll be the engine that drives our sales pipeline. You'll be reaching out to potential customers, starting conversations, and opening doors for the Account Executive team. It's a role where your personality is your superpower. This isn't a solo grind. You'll be embedded in a close-knit, social team that genuinely enjoys working together - think team lunches, shared wins, and a culture that's as fun as it is driven.

What Makes This Role Different We use AI - and we use it well.

• AI tools are embedded into your day-to-day workflow, helping you prospect smarter, personalise outreach at scale, and focus your energy where it counts
• You'll receive AI-assisted coaching and development throughout your time in the role - personalised to how you actually perform, not just generic training
• We're a team that serious about helping you grow, and we've built the tools to back that up

Who We're Looking For You don't need a sales background. You need the right qualities:

• A natural communicator who gets energy from people and conversations
• Team-first mindset - you celebrate the group win, not just your own
• Resilient and positive - you see challenges as part of the fun, not something to survive
• Phone-confident - you're comfortable picking up the phone and having real conversations
• Self-aware and coachable - you reflect honestly on what's working and what's not
• Committed to mastering the SDR role before moving up - we promote from within
• Backgrounds in retail, hospitality, customer service, or team sports? We want to hear from you.

What You'll Get

• A structured career path with real internal progression
• AI-powered tools and coaching from day one
• A team culture you'll actually look forward to being part of
• Competitive base + commission structure
• The skills and experience to build a long-term career in tech sales

The Fine Print

• Christchurch-based (in-office)
• Candidates must hold valid working rights in New Zealand to be considered for this role (sponsorships not available)

Sound like you? We'd love to hear from you.

Additional information

• You light up in conversations and get genuine energy from connecting with people
• You're not just looking for a job - you're hungry to build a career
• You know a polished CV isn't everything - personality, heart, and hustle matter
