The Graduate SDR will generate leads, conduct outbound campaigns, secure meetings for AEs, and collaborate on sales strategy in a fast-paced environment.
Data quality is the bottleneck of the AI era. Every Fortune 500 is trying to solve it. We're the team they call.
Today we're the data quality layer for accounts like Disney, Ralph Lauren, CBRE, HelloFresh or 2K Games. The industry is exploding because AI doesn't work on bad data.
We're scaling our SDR team in the US. This job is a perfect way to start an enterprise sales career by selling infrastructure to the most technical buyers in the market.
