About Clark
Every audit answers one question: can I trust this? For 150 years, people have answered it by hand. Clark is changing that.
We build AI that doesn’t just assist auditors. It does the audit work itself. More than 35 CPA firms already use Clark to run audit fieldwork faster and at equal or better quality. Audit is where we start. Our mission is to build the trust infrastructure layer for the AI economy, and we’re only getting started.
We’re a small, hard-working team backed by top investors. We take ownership and judge ourselves by results. If you want to change how an entire profession works, you’ll fit in here.
The Role
We are hiring a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to help build and accelerate Clark's sales pipeline.
As an early member of our go-to-market team, you'll be responsible for identifying high-potential prospects, initiating conversations with decision-makers, and generating qualified meetings for our Account Executives.
This is a high-ownership, outbound-focused role for someone who is ambitious, persistent, and eager to grow their career in B2B SaaS sales. You'll work closely with our founding sales team, gain direct exposure to leadership, and help shape how Clark approaches prospecting and pipeline generation.
Why This Role Matters
Clark's growth starts with getting in front of the right people. As an SDR, you'll be the first point of contact for prospective customers, introducing CPA firms to a new way of working and creating opportunities for meaningful sales conversations.
Your success will directly impact Clark's revenue growth, market presence, and ability to scale.
