About the role

This is a role for someone who enjoys ownership.

That could mean trying new sequences, messaging, and account approaches, and spotting opportunities as they come up.

Were hiring a Sales Development Representative to start conversations with the data, engineering, AI, and marketing teams who buy RudderStack, moving between technical and business conversations. Youll research target accounts, reach the right people with relevant outreach, and book qualified meetings for our Account Executives.

Youll work closely with Account Executives, Marketing, and Revenue Operations. Our SDRs use AI research tools, intent data, and automation to handle the repetitive work, so you can spend more time on account research and real conversations.
