Sales Development Representative

Who we are

Hodi is a new startup offering Sales Development as a Service. We work with companies across the globe to help them identify, research and communicate with potential customers.

Your role at Hodi

As a Sales Development Representative (SDR), you will be part of the team providing execution of the SDR work for our clients. This involves internet research, email and social platform communication with potential clients.

SDR - A building block for a diverse range of career opportunities

As a Sales Development Representative, you will develop skills and experience which can set you up for many different career paths. Within sales, SDR experience is often the foundation for future progression as an Account Executive, the role where you close the deals that are identified by SDRs. Experience in research and outreach within a specific industry will make you an asset to any growing company that sells to similar clients.

As Hodi grows, we hope to be able to offer many of these opportunities for advancement in-house. There are also a diverse range of career opportunities outside of Hodi that will be open to you based on the strong research, communication and skills you will have demonstrated in your role as an SDR.
