Founding SDR (Manager Track)

USA financial services firm (M&A advisory and fractional CFO services for small business owners) hiring its first sales seat. A marketing agency already runs our email and LinkedIn outbound. Your job is turning warm replies into booked calls on the founder's calendar. And to identify strong leads for outreach. This is potential manager track role: perform, and you will be running the desk within 12 to 18 months as we hire SDRs under you. The job: - Respond to warm leads fast: reply within 15 minutes, first dial within the hour - 40 to 70 follow-up touches daily across 100+ active leads via phone, text, email, LinkedIn - Book prospects directly on the founder's calendar and confirm every meeting - Keep HubSpot clean, manage the founder's calendar, send NDAs and templated docs - Document what works: your scripts and SOPs become the playbook for every SDR hired after you Who you are: - Exceptional phone presence with near-native English. You put a guarded 60-year-old business owner at ease in the first minute. This outweighs everything else. - Experience selling to US business owners or executives (non-negotiable) - Phone-heavy background with real daily volume (SDR, appointment setting, collections, recruiting) - Organized and meticulous: airtight CRM habits, nothing gets dropped - Available for split-shift US hours (morning and evening call windows) with a quiet workspace Comp: Strong hourly plus commission with room for growth To apply: Send resume, start your proposal with "warm dial" and provide your background and why you would be a good fit for this role. Also, link a 60-second voice note introducing yourself as if calling an owner who replied to our email. The recording matters more than the written proposal.
