About the Role
We're looking for our Founding SDR to build the outbound motion at Teleskope from the ground up. You'll set the playbook — cadences, signals, segmentation, AI workflows — that every future SDR runs on. This is a true builder role.
You're the right fit for this role if you are excited by joining an early-stage team and thriving in an autonomous and highly creative environment.
This is a hybrid role requiring 3-4 days in office in New York City.
What You’ll Do
-
Generate pipeline through thoughtful, multi-channel outbound — email, calls, LinkedIn, and the new channels you'll experiment with along the way
-
Engage with and qualify prospects in enterprise companies to understand their security challenges and set up meetings with Account Executives
-
Partner closely with marketing on lead gen, inbound follow-up, and field/event campaigns — you'll be a real voice in shaping how we run demand
-
Contribute to the development of prospecting strategies and messaging to effectively communicate Teleskope’s value proposition
-
Get creative with AI and GTM stack (Clay, Amplemarket, HubSpot, Sales Navigator, LLMs) to build workflows that research target accounts, map decision-makers, surface buying signals, and keep pipeline and reporting clean in HubSpot
-
Consistently hit or exceed weekly and monthly qualification and opportunity creation quotas
About You
-
1-3 years of experience in B2B SaaS sales, market development or lead generation (cybersecurity, data, or infrastructure a plus)
-
Hands-on with a modern GTM stack — Clay, Amplemarket, HubSpot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude) for research, signal-spotting, and personalized outreach
-
Process-oriented and data-driven with a proven track record of meeting or exceeding quota
-
Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to synthesize and explain complex concepts in a simple way
-
A customer-centric and results-oriented mindset
-
Have a can-do attitude and tons of hustle. You're the kind of person who finds a way — and you're already asking how quickly you can become a seller
-
Must be based in New York City
-
Willingness to travel for industry events
Nice to Haves:
-
Experience in security, privacy, or data governance domains
-
Experience in a startup environment is strongly preferred
What you'll get:
-
An opportunity to join an early-stage startup in one of today’s fastest-growing markets
-
A clear path to AE. This role is designed as the first step toward a closing seat with a real, defined path forward as you grow into it
-
A beautiful office in NYC’s Financial District, with breakfast and snacks provided daily, and weekly catered lunch
-
Flexible vacation and work-from-home days
-
Competitive salary and meaningful equity
