Responsibilities


⚡️The Role We’re looking for our first SDR—a hungry, gritty, and fearless *door-opener* who will build the foundation of our outbound sales engine. You’ll be the first touchpoint for some of the most exciting brands in the world, owning top-of-funnel outreach, generating pipeline, and setting the tone for Ground’s next chapter of growth. You’ll report directly to the founders and work side-by-side with AEs and our growth team to create and close opportunities. You’ll experiment with messaging, craft outreach strategies, and develop into a world-class closer. If you're competitive, coachable, and love the thrill of turning “never heard of you” into “let’s talk” — we want to hear from you. 🧠 What You’ll Do - Prospect and engage potential brand leads via email, LinkedIn, and cold calls - Craft smart, compelling outreach that resonates with founders, marketers, and ecommerce operators - Work hand-in-hand with AEs to generate qualified meetings and build pipeline - Constantly test and refine messaging, channels, and cadences - Own and exceed KPIs around emails sent, calls made, meetings booked - Work in HubSpot (CRM) and sales enablement tools to manage lead flow and follow-up - Help build outbound systems from scratch — nothing is set in stone yet - Be the first impression of Ground for many high-growth brands - Learn how to sell like a founder — and get ready to grow into an AE role 🧬 Who You Are: ✅ You’d Be Great If You: - Love to win more than you hate to lose — and you really hate to lose - Are comfortable with rejection and bounce back fast - Have something to prove and are hungry to level up fast - Speak clearly, confidently, and know how to take control of a conversation - Ask thoughtful questions and listen with intent - Are obsessed with metrics and improvement — you track your performance like a pro athlete - Are naturally curious about startups, AI, ecommerce, or marketing tech - Can juggle a high volume of outreach and stay organized - Want to work hard and grow fast — this role is a launchpad, not a parking lot ✅ Bonus Points If You Have: - Experience in cold calling, door-to-door sales, Cutco-style sales, or recruiting - Backgrounds in athletics, military, retail, hospitality, or teaching - Previous SDR or BDR experience at a SaaS or startup - Familiarity with Klaviyo, Shopify, or DTC brand marketing - Outbound writing samples or copy you’ve created (email scripts, LinkedIn DMs, etc.)
