About the role

Original posting from Cockroach Labs

Category-defining tech. Career-defining work.

The next era of software won’t operate at human scale. Applications will create applications. Systems will coordinate with systems. Data and decisions will move faster than teams can react to them. The infrastructure powering that world cannot be fragile, reactive, or limited by the assumptions of the past.

Cockroach Labs exists to build what comes next — before the world requires it.

We created CockroachDB to survive failures, scale without compromise, and adapt to changing conditions automatically. Now we’re helping define a future where complexity fades into the background and infrastructure simply works, no matter the scale.

This is the kind of challenge that attracts people who want to shape industries, not just participate in them. The work is ambitious, the standards are high, and the impact is real.

The Role

Cockroach Labs is looking for a Sales Development Representative to help build the top of the sales funnel that will help fuel our Sales organization. You will grow our business by reaching the right people at the right companies at the right time – and then setting up these valuable opportunities for our sales team to close. You excel in high-energy environments and relish dealing with all the challenges that growth creates. You understand outbound sales prospecting across segments and a focus on improving the process of prospecting and lead generation. 

You Will

Build and execute a multi-channel outbound strategy

Research and prioritize target accounts weekly using intent signals and engagement data

Leverage AI-assisted workflows to prospect at scale

Own early-stage discovery - lead qualification calls with relevant personas in your vertical, surface genuine business pain, and understand a prospect's applications and workloads

Partner with AEs - exchange account intelligence and ensure every handoff is detailed enough that no context gets lost

Build real technical fluency in CockroachDB 

Hit quarterly qualified opportunity targets

The Expectations

In your first 30 days, you will learn about CockroachDB and become proficient in the product. We believe that it is necessary for you to build this foundation so you can successfully grasp Cockroach Labs' sales strategy. Upon completion of your first month, you will have the ability to manage and develop inbound leads effectively.

After 60 days, you'll manage inbound leads and create campaigns for continued engagement. After 90 days, you will be generating qualified pipeline for the sales team and hitting or exceeding your targets. 

You Have

6 months to 1 year of previous Lead Generation or Sales Development experience.

Experience collaborating and developing positive business relationships.

Worked with deadlines, effectively managing time and prioritizing tasks.

Gathered and used data to inform and persuade others.

Developed compelling strategies that meet targets.

Experience with CRM-related tools (i.e. Salesforce.com) and lead qualification-related applications.

A demonstrated practice of integrating AI tools into your daily workflow to improve speed, quality, and decision-making.

Fluency with AI across core tasks (research, drafting, analysis, planning) used as a default, not an exception.

The discipline to iterate on prompts, tools, and workflows rather than accepting first-pass output.

Excellent interpersonal, leadership, organizational, and communication skills.

BA/BS degree or equivalent in related field.
