As the Field SDR, you will plan and execute Blinq's event presence, generate leads in-person, and collaborate with teams for effective outreach.
What is Blinq?
At Blinq, we believe the first interaction can spark opportunities that last a lifetime. That’s why we built the world’s #1 digital business card - an instant, intuitive way to exchange details - and that success has won our wedge into something bigger. Next, we’re building on that momentum to reshape how professionals stay connected – not just in the moment, but long after. In a world where follow-ups slip through the cracks and relationships are increasingly fragmented, we’re building the tools to keep people genuinely connected. If you’re driven to shape the future of human connection, we’d love to have you with us.
Why You’ll Love It Here
• Customers love it: Over 100K reviews and a 4.9/5 rating on the App Store - people around the world rely on Blinq to make that first interaction count.
• Rapid growth: Doubling ARR every few months, expanding into new markets, and rapidly building our team across Sydney, Melbourne, San Francisco, and New York
• Well-resourced: Backed by top VCs like Blackbird, HubSpot Ventures and Square Peg, we’re continuously investing in the people and tools that fuel our mission.
• A rare moment to join: We’re hitting an inflection point - big enough to have momentum, small enough for you to shape the journey.
• The way we work: We value real connections, inside and out - our offices buzz with creativity, and fresh ideas can come from anywhere. We’re big believers in the spark that happens when people come together in person. That’s why we spend three days a week collaborating in the office - trading ideas, solving problems face-to-face, and celebrating small wins. The rest of the week is yours to work wherever you’re most productive.
Growth at Blinq
Our Growth team is where sales, marketing, and growth strategy collide to supercharge Blinq’s reach. We bring our story to life for customers, partners, and the broader market - showing them how a single “card share” can launch a lasting relationship. If you’re passionate about connecting big ideas to the people who need them most, this is your place to shine.
Role & Impact
You’ll be the face of Blinq at key events. You’ll own how we show up, who we meet, and what happens next. As our first Field SDR, you’ll lead the real-world connection layer: planning every move, sparking high-intent conversations in person, and turning first hellos into real pipeline. Every event is your stage to make sure Blinq is remembered and followed up on.
What You’ll Do
- Event ownership - plan and execute every element of Blinq’s event presence, from logistics to on-brand experience
- Pre-event targeting - research, identify, and engage high-potential prospects ahead of key events
- In-person lead generation - prospect, qualify, and pitch live to turn first meetings into real pipeline
- Post-event follow-up - drive next steps, report on performance, and deliver insights to sharpen future plays
- Cross-team collaboration - work with sales, marketing, and brand to align on goals, messaging, and tactics
What You’ll Bring
- Event prospecting experience - confident connecting in real life, with a track record of surfacing qualified leads on the floor
- Outbound lead generation skills - experienced in targeted outreach, booking meetings, and creating pipeline from scratch
- In-person sales craft - able to read the room, hold attention, and move conversations forward in live, unscripted settings
- Cross-functional mindset - skilled at working with brand and marketing to deliver a cohesive, high-impact event presence
- Bonus: creative instincts - you see new ways to show up, stand out, and spark conversations that stick
What You Get
We hold a high bar and move with intent. You’ll get the clarity, trust, and ownership to meet it - and a team that pushes to do the best work of our lives. We back that with:
• Competitive salary & growth path: As Blinq grows, your role and compensation grow with it - no glass ceilings here.
• Health & wellbeing: Premium healthcare (including dental and vision), because feeling good fuels your best work.
• Generous paid time off: We encourage everyone to take at least 20 days fully disconnect each year, with a flexible policy beyond that.
• Parental leave: Inclusive policies to ensure you have the support you need for your family.
