Sales Development Representative

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Develop a deep and continually evolving understanding of GMR's products, and of how they map to the unique manufacturing processes across different industries.
• Engage prospects consultatively: understand their business challenges, operational needs, and potential fit before you pitch anything.
• Build and run high-volume, multi-channel outreach (cold calling, personalized email, social) that finds inventive paths to decision-makers, testing and adopting new AI-enabled outreach tools and tactics as they emerge…
• Emphasize in-person selling: GMR is putting growing weight on tradeshows, conferences, and other in-person events to diversify how we reach prospects.
• Book appointments and demos for the sales team, keep prospect records accurate, and translate each customer's problems and goals clearly to the AE.
• We value results, not strict call volume. If your call strategy is broken, fix it. If it's winning, we'll systemize it and add it to our playbook.
• Provide regular feedback on lead quality, market conditions, and campaign effectiveness, feeding directly into how the outbound engine evolves. Adapt your approach as the team grows and strategy evolves.

Job requirements

• Evidence of persuasion and outreach skill from any arena: launching a brand, competitive debate, fundraising, or campus organizing.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with demonstrated ability to craft a compelling message and hold your own on the phone or in an inbox.
• 6+ months of experience operating effectively in a role with limited context and taking ownership of ambiguous problems without waiting for complete instructions.
• Experience incorporating structured feedback in real time (call coaching, pitch reviews, manager notes) to improve performance within a role.
• Experience working in a fast-paced or high-growth environment with frequently changing priorities or processes.
• Strong time management and prioritization skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams to move deals forward.
• Experience demonstrating resilience and a results-driven mindset; able to sustain motivation and a positive approach through consistent rejection.
• You're a fast learner who absorbs new information quickly, takes feedback well, and continuously sharpens your pitch and outreach.
