    • Track KPIs weekly (emails sent, open rates, reply rates, meetings booked, etc.)

    • Stay sharp on industry trends, client case studies, and our core service offerings

    Requirements

    • 2 years in a similar SDR or BDR role (agency or SaaS experience is a plus)

    • Strong written communication, must be able to personalize outreach and speak in BSA’s tone

    • Familiar with outbound tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator, SalesLoft, Apollo, ZoomInfo

    • Comfortable using Salesforce and managing your own pipeline

    • Gritty, curious, and coachable, you seek feedback and implement it fast

    • Have tested outbound strategies or written cadences before

    • Have booked $50K+ project deals or enterprise retainers

    What You’ll Get

    • Base + performance-based commission (with accelerators)

    • High visibility with leadership and AE team

    • Access to modern outbound tools and a sharp ICP

    • Fully remote work and a flexible schedule

    • The chance to grow into AE or strategy roles as you prove results
