Overview:
Client Model API puts Client frontier models directly in the hands of developers and enterprises. Our team's job is to make Client the default platform choice for organizations building on AI
As a Sales Development Representative on the Client Model API team, you will drive adoption of Client frontier models by owning the front of the funnel: triaging inbound demand, running outbound against priority accounts, and qualifying what is real. You free our Strategic Sales Managers (SSMs) to spend their time on revenue-generating conversations, and you give the team the data that tells us where to aim next
This is a founding SDR role on a new team. You will not inherit a playbook, you will help write it
What you will own:
01 Outbound prospecting
•Maintain full ownership of pipeline-generating activity across your assigned accounts, which combines inbound demand with a named priority target list, against a quarterly qualified-opportunity target
•Run high-volume cold calling and cold email to technical and executive buyers at priority accounts
•Build and maintain tiered target account and contact lists, and support strategic outbound campaigns end to end
•Test and iterate sequences, then report what moved connect, reply, and conversion rates
02 Inbound lead triage
•Manage and prioritize a high volume of inbound leads: developer signups, pilot usage, and marketing-sourced demand
•Conduct initial qualification on high-potential leads, covering technical fit and commercial readiness
•Hit response-time targets so no qualified signal goes cold
03 Process, handoff, and insight
•Work with SSMs to understand what they need from a lead, then optimize routing, qualification, and handoff around it. Every accepted opportunity carries documented use case, stakeholders, decision process, and next steps
•Maintain Salesforce hygiene as the source of truth for pipeline reporting and forecasting
•Translate lead and funnel data into insights that inform targeting and where we spend our time
•Continuously refine the process to improve efficiency, and use AI tools to accelerate research, enrichment, and drafting
How we measure success:
•Qualified opportunities accepted by SSMs
•Sales-accepted opportunity (SAO) acceptance rate: how well your qualification matches SSM standards
•Cold call connect and conversion rate
•Time from inbound signal to first qualified conversation
