Senior Sales Development Representative - Shift Group

Senior Sales Development Representative

New York, NY

A high number of candidates may make applications for this position, so make sure to send your CV and application through as soon as possible.

*This opportunity is presented by Shift Group on behalf of a post-Series A, AI-driven software company.

About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a post-Series A software company bringing AI into a sector that still runs on manual paperwork and endless follow-up. Their platform helps large, mission-driven institutions close and book more revenue with the teams they already have, and they're scaling their outbound team to keep up with demand.

They want an SDR who already knows the job: calls, real conversations and booked meetings. In return, you get top-of-market pay and a seat on a team with several hires planned. We back this expectation with a $75,000 Base and a $90,000 OTE. If you've proven yourself as an SDR and want to be paid like it, let's talk.

Key Responsibilities

• Own Your Outbound: Run daily phone, email and LinkedIn outreach to senior leaders at large institutions.
• Book Quality Meetings: Turn conversations into qualified meetings that move the pipeline.
• Lead with Their Goals: Learn what your buyers are measured on and open every conversation there, not with a product pitch.
• Run Your Own Day: Manage your pipeline and activity with discipline and independence.

Qualifications

• The Experience: 1–3 years as an SDR or BDR, ideally trained at a structured sales organization. Strong sellers from outside tech are welcome if the foundation is real.
• Competitive Background: Former collegiate or professional athletes and military veterans thrive here. Your discipline and drive to win are your resume.
• The Execution: You know exactly what this job is, calls and booked meetings, and you want it.
• The Mindset: Self-motivated, organized and hungry to grow with a scaling team.
