This is a REMOTE role!
Saviynt is currently seeking a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to initiate sales cycles for our Enterprise Sales team. SDRs do this by identifying and engaging the appropriate prospect personas across Federal Agencies to inquire into their IGA business and infrastructure challenges, align Saviynt's value propositions to those challenges, and gain the prospects commitment to take a meeting with a Director of Sales to learn more. An SDR's objective is to continuously produce these beginning stages, qualified meetings that convert to the sales pipeline.
