• Track outreach performance and identify opportunities to improve response and conversion rates
• Test and refine messaging, sequences, and prospecting strategies based on performance
• Partner with Account Executives, Marketing, and Product teams to share market and prospect feedback

• Qualified meetings booked and held against monthly targets
• Conversion of meetings into qualified opportunities
• Pipeline generated through outbound efforts
• Consistency and quality of prospecting activity
• Accurate and reliable CRM data

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree required
• 1-3 years of experience in an SDR, BDR, or similar prospecting role within B2B SaaS
• Track record of meeting or exceeding sales development quotas
• Strong written communication skills and the ability to create compelling cold outreach
• Comfortable making outbound calls and persistent enough to stay productive when responses are limited
• Analytical mindset with the ability to identify who to target and why
• Self-directed and comfortable managing your own priorities in a remote environment
• Hands-on CRM experience, ideally with HubSpot

Nice to Have

• Experience in cannabis, CPG, retail, or another industry involving products, distribution, or retail sales
• Experience selling analytics, market intelligence, data, or technology products
• Familiarity with sales engagement platforms, prospecting tools, and list-building resources
• Existing knowledge of the cannabis industry and its legal markets

What You'll Get

• Competitive base salary + uncapped commission
• Meaningful equity opportunity
• Full benefits package
• Flexible time off
• Fully remote work environment
• Opportunity to work directly with experienced sales and company leadership
• The chance to help shape the sales process at a growing technology company serving the cannabis industry

This is a great opportunity for an SDR who enjoys outbound prospecting, data-driven selling, and working in a fast-moving industry and wants the opportunity to have a meaningful impact on a growing sales organization.
