About the role
We’re looking for a driven Sales Development Representative (SDR) to join our Commercial team. This is an early-funnel position focused on outbound prospecting and early-stage pipeline generation. You will identify and engage potential new business leads, qualify prospects and convert them into product demonstrations or discovery meetings for our Account Executives, who will then lead the consultative sales process.
This is a high-activity outbound role involving significant phone outreach.
While no prior sales or SDR experience is necessary, we are looking for individuals with a positive, results-oriented mindset, the confidence to engage decision-makers by phone, and the determination to consistently meet targets.
