Job description

Aurasell — Austin, TX

What is Aurasell?

Aurasell has created the world’s first AI-native CRM platform, a full-featured GTM application and true AI system of record built for the new agentic era in business software. Born in the post-2022 AI era, Aurasell eliminates the need for bloated legacy frameworks, collapsing the GTM stack into a single intelligent solution that automates the busywork, unifies data, coaches best practices, and frees teams to focus on what matters most: human-to-human selling. The company has raised a $30 million Seed round from N47, Menlo Ventures, and Unusual Ventures.

About the Team

Aurasell is building its founding Sales Development team in Austin, Texas. As early members of our Go-to-Market organization, you’ll work directly with the founders and early Sales & Marketing leaders to design and scale the Sales Development function—processes, playbooks, tooling, and culture. This is a rare chance to help build a category-defining sales engine from day one.

Location: Austin, TX. We prioritize in-person collaboration as a founding team.

The Opportunity

We’re hiring multiple Founding SDR/BDR roles at varying experience levels (associate, senior, and team-lead track). You’ll master our product, market, and ICPs—then convert that knowledge into repeatable pipeline. Expect deep enablement, direct mentorship, and a clear path toward Account Executive (AE) or SDR Team Lead as we scale.

As a founding team, you will help define and own:
  • ICPs, personas, messaging, and qualification standards
  • Outbound and inbound motions (cadences, channels, talk tracks)
  • Funnel metrics and SDR dashboards
  • The hiring bar, interview loop, and onboarding blueprint for future team members
Day to Day (What the Founding Team Will Do)
  • Identify and prioritize high-potential accounts; build targeted lists and hypotheses for outreach
  • Launch, measure, and iterate inbound/outbound campaigns—from idea to first qualified call
  • Run crisp discovery and rigorous qualification; set high-quality intro meetings for Sales
  • Engage IT and business decision-makers via phone, email, and social
  • Nurture early-stage opportunities to create durable pipeline coverage
  • Document experiments, convert wins into playbooks, and share across the team
  • Partner with Marketing on message tests and with Product on customer feedback loops
  • Participate in interviewing and onboarding as the team grows
What Success Looks Like — by Day 45
  • By end of week two: Ramp on product, personas, and ICPs; stand up personal cadences; start quality conversations with target accounts.
  • By end of week four: Own a micro-segment; run crisp discovery and qualification; convert outreach into multiple qualified intro meetings; document one repeatable outbound play.
  • By day 45: Show consistent pipeline creation on track for quota; advance early opportunities with clear next steps; add learnings to the team playbook and support interviewing/onboarding.
What You Will Bring
  • Self-starter mindset with a history of hitting/exceeding goals
  • Organized, metrics-driven, comfortable with ambiguity and fast iteration
  • Curiosity about modern B2B SaaS; ability to learn products quickly and map them to business outcomes
Things We Love
  • Prior SDR/BDR experience (internship to 2+ years) or other quota-carrying background
  • Familiarity with cloud/SaaS, data tooling, or open-source ecosystems (nice to have)
  • Comfort testing new channels (events, communities, partners) and documenting what works
Why Aurasell
  • High impact & visibility: Direct access to founders and early leaders
  • Career acceleration: Clear paths to AE or SDR Team Lead as we scale
  • Enablement: Modern sales training (e.g., MEDDIC, Command of the Message)
  • Ownership: Shape processes, tooling, and hiring standards from day one
