Hostaway is seeking a highly motivated Sales Development Representative (SDR) to drive growth in the APAC market. This hybrid role covers the full lead lifecycle: prospecting new accounts outbound, responding fast to inbound interest, and reviving leads that have gone quiet. We want driven, hungry sales professionals keen to make an impact.

About the role

• Research target accounts and decision‑makers in the APAC market, then prospect via cold calling, email or social selling to generate qualified leads.

• Respond fast to inbound leads (demo requests, web enquiries, content downloads, event sign‑ups) within agreed response times, then qualify quickly to book meetings where there's a fit.

• Revive previously interested leads (closed‑lost, stalled conversations, past demo attendees, dormant contacts), find what's changed in timing, needs, budget or stakeholders, then tailor your messaging to restart the conversation.

• Use CRM notes plus activity history to personalise outreach, avoiding repeat touchpoints.

• Understand prospects' needs, then communicate our value proposition clearly, whatever the lead source.

• Balance daily activity across outbound, inbound, re‑engagement pipelines.

• B2B SaaS outbound sales experience; inbound exposure an advantage.

• Proven track record of exceeding targets in a fast‑paced, target‑driven environment.

• Strong prospecting and cold calling skills, with the ability to build rapport over phone and email.

• Able to qualify inbound leads quickly and rekindle cold prospects.

• Highly motivated self‑starter and team player who juggles multiple lead streams and priorities with ease.

• Familiarity with CRM (e.g., HubSpot) and sales engagement tools (e.g., Outreach, SalesLoft) a plus.

• Fluent English; a second language advantageous.
