* 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

* Fully remote work and a flexible schedule
* The chance to grow into AE or strategy roles as you prove results
