The Opportunity

HireNow Staffing is partnering with a fast-growing software development startup that is building foundational technology for modern teams. The company is early-stage, execution-driven, and deeply focused on building a best-in-class go-to-market engine from the ground up.

This Sales Development Representative role is designed for individuals with extreme drive, personal accountability, and a genuine desire to build a career in sales . This is not a role for someone testing out sales or defaulting into it. The team is intentionally seeking people early in their careers who are hungry, coachable, and excited by the challenge of outbound prospecting.

Experience matters—but motivation, resilience, and effort matter more .

Why This Role Matters

• Top-of-Funnel Ownership: SDRs here are trusted to create pipeline that directly fuels company growth.

• High Visibility: You'll work closely with Sales, Marketing, and the founding team, with real influence on messaging and strategy.

• Skill Acceleration: This is a true learning environment for outbound sales, messaging, and GTM fundamentals.

• Career Path: Strong performers are positioned to grow into closing or senior revenue roles as the company scales.

Key Responsibilities

Candidates must demonstrate the ability to execute across the following areas to be considered for interview:

• Generate new pipeline through outbound prospecting into technical and developer-focused accounts

• Research target accounts and buyers to craft highly personalized, thoughtful outreach

• Write compelling outbound emails and messages that break through noise—quality matters more than volume

• Engage prospects across email, LinkedIn, and other outbound channels

• Own your funnel by tracking activity, follow-ups, and conversion metrics

• Collaborate closely with Sales, Marketing, and Product to refine ICPs and outbound strategy

• Act as a frontline voice of the market by sharing objections, feedback, and messaging insights

Who This Role Is Not For

• Are unsure whether they want to be in sales

• Prefer inbound-only roles or dislike prospecting

• Need constant supervision or external motivation

• Are seeking remote or hybrid work

• Are unwilling to work onsite in NYC five days per week

Required Qualifications

• 0–1 year of sales, prospecting, or relevant experience

• NYC-based and able to work fully onsite

• Strong written communication skills

• Comfort with outbound activity and prospecting

• Clear interest in building a long-term career in sales

• High personal drive, grit, and accountability

• Authorization to work in the U.S. (no visa sponsorship)

Preferred Qualifications (Strongly Emphasized)

Standout candidates will bring:

• Exceptional motivation and self-discipline, demonstrated through academics, athletics, entrepreneurship, or competitive pursuits

• Strong writing ability with a sharp eye for clarity, relevance, and tone

• Comfort reaching out to technical audiences (engineers, developers, AI teams)

• Experience or familiarity with outbound GTM tools such as Apollo, Unify, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, or CRM platforms

• Intellectual curiosity and eagerness to learn fast in ambiguous environments

• Coachability, humility, and a team-first mindset

• Early-career candidates who do not have rigid, overlearned SDR habits and are open to being trained the right way
