About the job
Join Forager, a rapidly expanding data-as-a-service platform that has achieved over 6× year-over-year growth in 2025. We specialize in delivering high-accuracy people and company data to empower teams and platforms in their go-to-market and recruiting workflows.
We are looking for a driven and results-oriented Sales Development Representative (SDR) to generate consistent pipeline through a strategic mix of inbound lead qualification and proactive outbound account-based marketing (ABM) targeting Tier 1 and Tier 2 accounts. In this role, you will collaborate closely with our Sales, Growth, and RevOps teams, focusing on quality pipeline creation rather than sheer activity volume. This is a hands-on position at a dynamic startup where you will have the opportunity to build processes from the ground up.
Your Responsibilities
- Take ownership of inbound lead qualification: respond promptly, conduct first-touch qualification, and ensure leads are properly categorized.
- Conduct proactive outbound ABM prospecting: utilize email, LinkedIn, and calling to engage with target accounts and build a healthy pipeline.
- Develop and maintain target account lists: assist in creating and managing a Tier 1/Tier 2 Total Addressable Market (TAM), including key buyer committee contacts (decision-makers, champions, technical evaluators).
- Research and personalize outreach: leverage market triggers (e.g., hiring, funding, product launches, integrations) to tailor your outreach for improved engagement.
- Qualify and schedule high-quality meetings: secure appointments for the CEO and Account Executives with clear Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and BANT context, ideally for higher Average Contract Value (ACV) opportunities.
- Ensure strong CRM hygiene: keep accurate records of activities, notes, lead dispositions, source attribution, and reporting.
- Experiment and iterate: continuously test messaging, sequences, offers, and segments; monitor results and apply insights.
- Utilize automation judiciously: make use of AI and outbound tools (e.g., Clay, sequencing tools) to scale efforts without compromising quality.
- Present weekly reports: provide updates during weekly Sales, Marketing, and Team meetings (pipeline generated, leading indicators, insights, and upcoming experiments).
Success Metrics
- Consistent meetings with Sales-Qualified Leads from Tier 1/Tier 2 accounts
- Strong meeting show rates and seamless handoffs (CEO/AE feels fully prepared)
- Improvement in outbound key performance indicators (positive reply rates, meeting conversions)
- Reliable execution of processes (prompt follow-up, accurate dispositions, and precise CRM entries)
