Portnox is seeking a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to drive new sales opportunities and fuel our growth. This is a quota-carrying, entry-level sales role for ambitious, results-driven individuals eager to build a career in technology sales. Our SDR team plays a critical role in supporting the company’s sales goals through lead generation, qualification, and pipeline development. The SDR will identify and convert leads into opportunities for Account Executives while delivering a world-class prospect experience.

What We’re Looking For:
This is not a customer service job. The high-risk and high-reward nature of a career in SaaS Sales rewards grit and drive that not everyone possesses. The challenge of connecting a prospective customer with the product that meets their needs can require strategic planning, quick-thinking creativity, and laser-focused tenacity. To top performers, this role is the opportunity to kickstart a very lucrative career in SaaS sales.

While Sales Development experience is a major plus in this role, we’ve seen a wide variety of backgrounds translate to success.

The most successful Sales Development Representatives often…
  • Are competitive, tenacious, driven to surpass expectations.
  • Love learning, problem-solving, and overcoming challenges creatively
  • Strive to create an organized, efficient, repeatable path to success
  • Have a technical background or strong interest in technology.
  • Have a positive attitude and thrive on connecting with people
For example, are you…
  • The extrovert in your engineering program that has a reputation for winning (games, sports, debates)
  • The over-achieving STEM major in your sorority?
  • A tech-savy teacher that’s secretly ultra-competitive and craves a bougie lifestyle?
  • An accomplished athlete that maintained top marks in school and has a complex and technical hobby?
  • Ex-military that likes intellectual and analytical challenges, makes friends wherever they go, and can grind their way to success over any obstacle?
  • A wildly ambitious recent college graduate, whip-smart, organized, bursting with initiative and laser-focused on building a career in technology sales and ready to do the homework
