Sales Development Representative

The Role

We’re looking for a driven sales development representative (SDR) to help build our sales foundation from the ground up. This is a unique opportunity to own the top of funnel process, contribute to go-to-market strategy, and influence the future direction of Matia. 

What You'll Do

• Build the Pipeline: Identify, target, and engage potential customers in the data and engineering space, through cold calling, emails, social outreach, and other methods (carrier pigeons?) to prospective customers

• Secure Qualified Meetings: Schedule qualified meetings for Account executives, and potentially play a role in helping close accounts as you grow

• Collaborate with Product: Partner with the product team to relay customer feedback, identify feature requests, and shape Matia’s roadmap

• Develop & Iterate on Messaging: Work closely with leadership & Marketing to refine our messaging and positioning in the market; help test new messaging in market

• Evangelize the Platform: Act as a trusted advisor to prospects, educating them on the value of Matia’s platform and how it solves their challenges

• Research, Track & Log: Track and log activities and commitments in HubSpot and other sales tools; Not the most glamorous part of the role, but necessary 

• Be a Builder: Create and iterate on top of funnel processes as we grow

What We’re Looking For

• Sales Experience: 1 years of sales experience generating pipeline, preferably in the SaaS space.

• Ownership Mentality: You thrive in ambiguous environments and are excited to build processes and structures from scratch. You are excited by the prospect of moving up quickly and scaling in an organization.

• Strong Communicator: You can clearly articulate complex ideas to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Results-Oriented: You’re motivated by hitting and exceeding targets, and you know how to close deals.

• Collaborative: You enjoy working cross-functionally and know that teamwork is key to success in a startup.

Nice to have:

• Startup Love: Experience in a fast growing startup environment (okay if it’s not in a sales role).

• Technical Fluency: Educational Background in Computer Science, Software Development, Data or Engineering and/or experience at a company building or selling products to technical audiences. 

What’s in it for you?

• Impact: Shape the future of a category-defining platform and leave your mark on the data ecosystem.

• Growth: Direct access to founders and opportunities to grow alongside the company; we promote from within.

• Flexibility: Work remotely with a results-driven, adaptable team culture.

This role will receive a competitive base salary, variable compensation, benefits, and stock. Sr. BDR title/responsibilities will be considered for the right candidate. 

We like to be transparent, and one of the biggest questions we get is around the path to AE: we promote based on performance, and expect this person to be in this role for around 1 year, with increasing leadership responsibilities, before moving into an AE position, if that’s the desired career path.
