Job description

Vendelux is transforming how companies discover, evaluate, and maximize the impact of events.

Event marketers are the driving force behind pipeline and brand — yet events remain one of the least optimized and most opaque marketing channels. Vendelux changes that. We provide the system of record for event marketing, giving teams the data and insights they need to make smarter, more strategic decisions.

Our AI‑powered platform delivers proprietary insights across 250,000+ events, helping high‑growth companies identify where their ideal customers will be, maximize ROI, and turn events into a scalable growth channel. Customers often describe Vendelux as an event marketer’s dream. A key part of this is our growing network of event organizer partnerships — where organizers share first‑party attendee and sponsorship data, and in return gain access to valuable market insights.

In addition, Vendelux Meetings helps customers turn event insights into action — using AI to identify high‑value attendees and automatically book 1:1 meetings with the right prospects at conferences. This allows teams to maximize pipeline generation and make every event materially more impactful.

Founded in 2021, Vendelux is a Series A SaaS company backed by leading investors including FirstMark, with a recent $14M round. Our team brings experience from companies like Bain, ZoomInfo, Airbnb, FanDuel, Shutterstock, Compass and more.

We’re looking for a driven and outgoing Field Sales Development Representative (SDR) with a passion for building relationships and uncovering opportunities. In this role, you’ll attend industry events, conferences, and networking gatherings to generate qualified leads and set up high‑quality meetings for our sales team.

This is not your typical desk‑based SDR position. You’ll be representing our brand in person, engaging prospects face‑to‑face, and playing a key role in filling the top of the funnel with strategic, valuable opportunities.

We are looking to hire SDRs based in the San Francisco bay area.

This role will require travel a few times a month.

What You’ll Do:

• Attend trade shows, conferences, networking events, and other in‑person functions to identify and engage potential leads.
• Initiate conversations with prospects to understand their needs and identify opportunities that align with our solutions.
• Capture, track, and manage leads using HubSpot
• Qualify leads and schedule discovery meetings for Account Executives and senior sales staff.
• Work closely with the marketing and sales teams to align on event strategy, messaging, and follow‑up.
• Provide feedback from events to improve targeting, messaging, and event ROI.
• Stay up to date with industry trends and competitor activity to inform outreach strategy.

Who You Are:

• 1–2 years of proven success in in‑person sales, including experience building client relationships, meeting or exceeding sales targets, and effectively communicating the value of products or services in a face‑to‑face environment.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; confident speaking with senior stakeholders in person.
• Energetic, outgoing personality with the ability to start conversations and build rapport quickly.
• Highly organized and comfortable working in fast‑paced environments.
• Willingness to travel regularly for events and conferences (up to 70% of the time).
• Experience using CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot) to manage leads and track performance.

What We Offer:

• Competitive base salary + performance‑based bonus structure + uncapped commissions
• Opportunities for career advancement and professional development
• Travel expenses covered for events and conferences
• Collaborative and energetic team culture
• Excellent benefits: health insurance, 401(k), etc, unlimited PTO and company recharges and retreats

Not all candidates will check all of the requirements listed above and that’s ok! We are open to great people from non‑traditional backgrounds.

Vendelux is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, gender, gender identity, parental or pregnancy status, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or veteran status.
