About the Team:

The Sales Development team at AlphaSense sits at the front line of our company’s prospect engagement and pipeline generation efforts. We identify potential prospects, leverage diverse outreach strategies, engage in strategic conversations with stakeholders, and collaborate with Account Executives with the goal of expanding our footprint within new and existing accounts and generating revenue for the organization. At our core, we are a dynamic team of highly driven self-starters who are passionate about the AlphaSense product and rely on product and industry knowledge to communicate the value of our solution and convert interested prospects into qualified leads.

About the Role:

Sales Development Representatives at AlphaSense are fundamental to the success and growth of our business. You will focus on driving new business by sourcing, establishing and building relationships with Fortune 1000 executives or investment professionals over the phone, by email and through social outreach.

• Goal-oriented: You will have specific KPIs by which we will measure your productivity on a consistent basis. When you see your goals, your first thought might be, “How do I beat it/surpass that target?” -- that’s what we’re looking for (and you’ll be compensated well for those efforts!)

What You’ll Do:

• Research and identify new client opportunities based on key client profiles in target accounts
• Partner with our Account Executives on identifying new business opportunities in our clients and prospects -- our business is growing rapidly and there are tens of thousands of opportunities to uncover -- we’re trusting you with the responsibility of uncovering them!
• Apply sales development best practices with email, phone and social outreach to connect with new prospects
• Engage with prospects to articulate our product’s value proposition
• Utilize discovery and objection handling strategies to speak knowledgeably with decision makers and to build interest in our offerings
• Coordinate meetings on an account executive’s calendar and log activities in CRM
