Who We Are
We come for the impact, and stay for the culture! We’re a talented, opinionated, passionate, fiercely inclusive, and responsible group of bees. We have conviction and we strive to live our values every day. We want our people to do what they truly love amongst a team of highly talented (but humble) peers.
How We Work
We are a fully distributed company, which means we believe it is not where you sit, but how you deliver that matters most. We invest in our people and care about how you orient to our culture and processes. At the same time we imbue a lot of trust, autonomy, and accountability from Day 1. #LI-Remote

- Run A/B tests on messaging, channels, and offers; scale winning plays and document them for the global SDR team.
- Mentor junior SDRs, facilitating enablement sessions and providing deal‑level coaching.
- Surface frontline feedback and competitive intelligence to Product, Marketing, and RevOps, influencing roadmap and GTM strategy.
- Live a growth mindset: set self‑directed stretch goals and hold yourself accountable to top‑5 % performance standards.
What you’ll bring to the role:
- 1+ years of high‑impact outbound SDR/BDR experience in fast‑growing SaaS, ideally in observability or developer tooling environments or similar.
- Proven track record of SQL quota attainment across multiple quarters, with clear examples of net‑new logo generation.
- Expertise with modern sales stack: Outreach/Salesloft, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, Gong, Salesforce (or comparable CRM).
- Fluency in MEDDPICC, COM, Challenger, or similar frameworks; able to lead qualification independently.
- Data‑driven approach and mastery of pipeline analytics to inform prioritization and forecasting.
- Demonstrated ability to coach peers and raise team performance.
- Resilient, curious, and inclusive communicator who thrives in a remote, asynchronous environment.
- Commitment to Honeycomb’s values of ownership, collaboration, and raising the bar every day.
