• Contribute practical ideas that improve team messaging, outreach cadences, call approaches, and processes.

What you’ll need to be successful:

• Proven quota-carrying SDR, BDR, or closely related sales experience, with clear evidence of personal attainment and results.
• B2B SaaS sales experience.
• Demonstrated outbound experience, including cold calling, territory prioritization, multi-touch outreach, and qualification.
• Experience with a modern sales engagement and prospecting stack (e.g., Salesforce, Salesloft, Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, or equivalents), including AI-assisted prospecting tools.
• Ability to work independently, create a productive daily structure, protect prospecting time, and follow through.
• Clear and concise communication, credible customer engagement, and the ability to personalize outreach for different personas.
• Self-motivation, persistence, accountability, discipline, curiosity, and a healthy competitive drive.
• Coach-ability and the ability to apply feedback to improve performance.
• Preferred experience selling into regulated, industrial, energy, utility, construction, safety, or compliance environments.

Here are just a few of the great reasons to join our team!

• Work with a global team! We have colleagues and customers across North America and around the world.
