What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sales Development Representative position at Afterpay?
Company Description
Since we first opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely – and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take a payment and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn’t work together. So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions – to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, run a busy kitchen, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. And across it all, we’ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow all in one place.
Today, we’re a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex commerce operations, sellers just starting out, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers scale, so do our solutions. We all grow together.
There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a business that is big, meaningful, and lasting. And we are helping sellers around the world do the same.
Afterpay is looking for high-energy, very organized people with advanced communication skills to join our elite team. As an SDR, you will be on the front-lines of a fast-growing ecommerce payments business - talking commerce and payments with business owners and executives at small to medium size businesses. You should be comfortable on the phone, have excellent email drafting skills, and a genuine curiosity in the operations of various types of online businesses and their structures. You should have the ability to create opportunities and close them. Importantly, you should be comfortable with, or quick to learn, the user interfaces of software programs (like Salesforce CRM) that support you in ramping and maintaining your pipeline.
SDRs are responsible for closing inbound leads and reaching out cold to develop and close new leads for small and medium sized businesses. SDRs use personalized efforts to authentically connect with potential customers, spark curiosity, and close opportunities. We have a team oriented culture where our SDRs work alongside enterprise sales managers and leaders in the company.
We are much more than our job descriptions - we are our energy, our ideas, our everyday drive. Here’s where you will begin….
- Use cold outreach strategies to develop new leads and opportunities with retailers
- Develop & maintain a high-volume sales pipeline that closes over 200 accounts per month
- Maintain accurate sales & onboarding processes through Salesforce CRM
- Meet individual & team deadlines, KPIs, and targets
