About the role
We're growing in 2024 and looking to expand our Sales Development Representative (SDR) team. You will play a key role in our Sales & Marketing org, helping our customers navigate the buying process.
Reporting to your Sales Manager, you will be primarily responsible for managing the inbound pipeline of leads (we get a lot) and routing qualified leads to the sales team. Additionally, your hands on feedback will be essential for the marketing and product teams as we refine our lead scoring model and trial experience.
We have a strong preference for candidates in AMER time zones (North or South America).
What you'll be doing
- Engaging prospective customers that have engaged with Circle to help them become wildly successful with our platform. Sometimes that means having them meet with one of our Account Executives.
- Work hand in hand with the Sales Manager and Marketing team to provide real feedback on the characteristics of our trial customers. This will help us understand where customers are getting stuck in their user journey so we can help design better onboarding tools.
- Provide feedback to the Sales Manager to refine and improve the engagement process. This will involve email copywriting, sequence/cadence creation, chat bot journeys. You may be engaging with our customers over email, phone, chat or in a virtual meeting.
- Lead and have a vision for the team's culture. You will have a say in hiring future SDR’s once you need some teammates.

- You’re very curious and resourceful. You enjoy delving into the unknown, reading, networking, and researching to uncover the path forward.
- You thrive with autonomy and are self-motivated. We’re a fully remote team. We take care of each other and like having fun, but we’ll never be in an office together.
- You’re analytical in nature. You enjoy measuring your actions with data and testing to see which approach is working based on what the data is telling you.
- You’re curious and creative. You’re not satisfied with surface level anything, and you live outside the box.
- Your first instinct isn’t to do what everyone else is doing.
- You’re an excellent story teller; you understand how narrative and emotion impact decision making.
