Sales Development Representative - Entry Level!

About the Role

We’re looking for a Sales Development Representative to help build and scale our outbound motion at Steer. This role is focused on uncovering lucrative new business opportunities, facilitating product demos, and guiding customers through a streamlined sales process.

This is not a passive, inbound role. You will be expected to create opportunities from scratch, navigate organizations, and develop messaging that resonates with small business owners and operators in blue-collar industries. We are looking for someone who is no stranger to overcoming obstacles and strives to exceed expectations. Come join a team where skill cultivation, career advancement, and talent retention are core values.

 

This is a hybrid role that begins with a three-month onsite ramp-up period at our Waltham, MA office. Once performance metrics are met, you will become eligible for a hybrid work schedule.

Compensation: $85k OTE ($60,000 base salary + commission)
