The SDR role at Firstup sits at the intersection of Sales and Marketing. You'll own top-of-funnel pipeline creation for a set of named enterprise accounts, working in close partnership with an Account Executive and aligned Marketing support. Your primary buyers are CHROs, VPs of Internal Communications, and Directors of Employee Experience — senior leaders who control meaningful budget and are actively looking for solutions to workforce engagement challenges. Success here requires business acumen, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to build credibility with executives through relevance and insight — not persistence alone.   RESPONSIBILITIES Build and execute a multi-touch, multi-channel prospecting strategy (phone, email, LinkedIn, video, direct mail) targeting Director through C-suite buyers at named enterprise accounts. Research target accounts and individual stakeholders to develop insight-led outreach — understanding their business priorities, recent initiatives, and internal communications challenges before making first contact. Partner closely with your AE to align on account strategy, prioritize opportunities, and convert booked meetings into qualified pipeline. Collaborate with Marketing to leverage campaigns, events, and content as outreach triggers and conversation starters. Achieve and exceed monthly and quarterly KPIs including meetings booked, pipeline generated, and connect rates. Maintain accurate activity logging and pipeline data in Salesforce and Groove, and use data to continuously refine your approach. Participate actively in team enablement sessions, bringing feedback from the field to sharpen the team's collective messaging and sequencing.

They are: Insight-driven, not script-dependent. They do real research before reaching out and lead with business relevance — not feature lists. Resilient and process-oriented. They understand that pipeline is built through consistent, disciplined execution, and they don't abandon what's working. Growth-obsessed. They actively seek coaching, ask thoughtful questions in team sessions, and view feedback as currency. Collaborative by default. They think of their AE as a partner, not just a handoff point, and take accountability for the quality of meetings they book — not just the quantity. Ambitious with a long-term orientation. They want to build a career in enterprise sales and understand that the SDR seat is the foundation, not the ceiling.
