Founding SDR - Sponsorship Intelligence for Media Brands

Posted last week

Worldwide

Summary

We are a sponsorship intelligence platform - think Crunchbase for newsletter, podcast, and YouTube sponsorships. We track who's sponsoring what across thousands of shows and publications, and media operators use us to find brands actively buying placements. Product is live, customers are paying, and it's built and run by a solo founder. You'd be the second person touching revenue. The role: Book 15-minute sponsor briefings with heads of sales and revenue at media companies (newsletters, podcast networks, YouTube channels). The pitch isn't a software demo; you're offering to show them which brands are actively buying sponsorships in their exact category right now, from data we already have. It's an easy yes. You work from a preselected contact list, no scraping, no list-building. Outreach via LinkedIn and email under your own name and profile, with messaging and positioning provided. What it looks like: ~10 hours/week, flexible schedule (US-morning overlap preferred) Pre-built target lists with verified contacts Base hourly + bonus per briefing that shows up, smaller bonus per attributed for signup Direct line to the founder - no layers, fast feedback, your input shapes the playbook You're a fit if: Fluent written English and a natural, non-salesy tone on LinkedIn Active, real LinkedIn profile you're comfortable working from Some outbound, SDR, recruiting, or customer-facing experience Self-directed - you'll have a clear system, but nobody hovering. Comp scales with results; strong setters can meaningfully out-earn the hourly. Reply with a couple sentences on your outbound experience.
