Sales Development Representative_JSS

Hi, welcome to the opening paragraphs which are defined in Settings -> Job Site. We'll show this in a moment.

A BIT ABOUT US

Lever was founded seven years ago to tackle the most strategic challenge that companies face: how to recruit and hire top talent. We’re building the next generation of hiring software that companies like Netflix, Yelp, Cirque du Soleil, Shopify, and Eventbrite rely on to grow their teams. We've rethought the talent acquisition paradigm and are the innovation leaders in our space and looking for the right people to join us as we scale.

We’re extraordinarily proud of the company we’ve built so far (not to mention humbled to be recognized as the #1 place to work in San Francisco, as well as a top workplace in the entire United States). Our people are Lever’s biggest competitive advantage and we’ll continue investing in our “Leveroos” and people-first culture.  

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a driven Sales Development Representative to join our growing team. As an SDR, you are the first point of contact for all of Lever’s sales efforts. You’ll generate demand, interest, and excitement for Lever’s product while partnering to create a steady pipeline of business to arm your counterparts on the Account Executive team.  You’ll actively contribute to our revenue while learning the ropes of a growth-stage startup and the in and outs of sales.

BUILD YOUR CAREER

We believe the SDR role is one of the best ways to get your foot in the door at a leading startup. We invest in and train our team--in the past six months alone our SDRs have gone on to close six figure deals,  manage teams of their own, run implementations for new customers, and own marketing analytics for the entire company.

THE TEAM

Lever’s Sales Development team is a tight-knit team with diverse backgrounds--we’re seasoned salespeople, whip-smart new grads, and even a few former recruiters. We are charged with kicking off conversations with qualified leads and working with companies of all kinds, from tech startups to world-famous traveling circuses and global non-profits to help them make hiring more strategic, collaborative, and human. Learn more about Sales at Lever from some members of the team.
