About the job

This San Francisco–based AI startup promoted all 4 of their founding BDRs to Account Executive. Now we're helping them hire their next batch of future AEs - 4 more, to be exact. This is a Strategic SDR role, booking meetings and producing SQOs. Fully onsite in San Francisco, built for people who want daily access to sales leadership, true deal exposure (not just booking meetings), and proven leaders who develop reps to their next level - not empty promises. The company is growing fast, and they need hungry, experienced SDRs who can hit the ground running in a startup environment.

Join a high-growth SF-based AI startup as a Strategic SDR with a proven path to AE. $80K base / $120K OTE with uncapped commission, accelerators, and 1% closed-won revenue bonus. Fully onsite in downtown San Francisco.
