• Build the SDR playbook: Help define targeting, sequences, messaging, qualification criteria, reporting, and the tools needed to scale
• Use data to improve: Track activity and conversion performance, test new approaches, and continuously improve what works
• Develop market expertise: Stay close to trends in AI, alternative data, digital behavior, and the industries we serve
• Act like an owner: Move fast, stay organized, follow through, and take responsibility for creating opportunities
• Be a founding SDR: Build the playbook for how Gener8 creates pipeline and enters new markets
• Sell a category-defining product: Represent fully consented, raw behavioral data across LLMs, browsing, and purchases
• Engage sophisticated buyers: Work with leading companies across AI, technology, finance, research, and data
• Learn enterprise sales: Work closely with commercial leadership and gain exposure to complex, high-value sales cycles
• Accelerate your career: Grow with the company and take on broader sales ownership as the commercial team scales
• High impact, high upside: Directly influence pipeline, revenue growth, messaging, and go-to-market strategy
• Fast, ambitious team: No bureaucracy, high expectations, strong execution
• If you’re excited about building pipeline, opening doors with ambitious companies, and helping define how a new category of data scales, this is the role for you
