About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity for a high-energy Lead Sales Development Representative who thrives in a phone-first sales environment, loves the hunt, and knows how to blend AI-powered efficiency with genuine human connection.

Key Responsibilities

- Run multi-touch outbound sequences across phone, email, and LinkedIn, powered by AI-assisted personalization, delivered with your voice

- 1+ years of outbound SDR/BDR experience at a B2B SaaS company, ideally selling to SMBs or mid-market
- Proven phone-first track record, you've hit 100+ dials/day and consistently booked meetings through real conversations, not automation alone

- History of over-achievement, show us the quarters you finished at 120%+
- Exceptional verbal communication, you sound confident, curious, and human on the phone; you can read a room (even over the phone) and adapt in real time

- Strong written chops, your cold emails get opened and replied to because they sound like you, not like GPT
- Comfortable with modern sales stack (CRM, dialers, sequencers, sales intel, AI research tools)
- Self-starter mentality, you don't wait for a manager to tell you to make the next call
- Gritty, competitive, coachable
Ideal Candidate

- Uses AI daily as a force multiplier, you've built prompts, GPTs, or workflows that speed up research, writing, or prospecting, but you know when to put the tools down and pick up the phone
- Believes the best outreach blends AI leverage with genuine human curiosity, generic AI-generated blasts make you cringe
