This role is based in Omaha. 

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

About the Team:

The Scaled Sales Development (SSD) organization builds and runs innovative, scalable sales motions that support LinkedIn's small business customers across the full lifecycle, from first acquisition through upsell. SSD engages prospects through digital and chat-based sales experiences, guides customers through the buying journey, and turns interest into revenue by applying consistent sales practices and performance insights that scale growth. 

The Incubations team sits at the leading edge of that work. We test, pilot, and stand up brand new sales motions before they scale, then package what works into repeatable plays the wider organization can run. It is fast-moving and hands-on, and it is a great place to learn how new go-to-market ideas travel from hypothesis to real revenue. 

About the Role:

As a Scaled Sales Development Consultant 1 (IC1) on the Incubations team, you will engage prospects through digital and chat-based sales experiences, support customers through the buying journey, and convert interest into revenue. You will apply defined sales practices and task-level performance insights to drive growth across your assigned customer segments, while helping the team pilot and refine outreach motions that are still being built. This is an entry-level individual contributor role that comes with strong coaching, clear playbooks, and real room to grow.

• Respond to common challenges using written guidance and QA frameworks, ask for help when you need it, and seek and apply feedback on your assigned work. 

Pilot and incubate new sales motions:

• Execute assigned pilot activities by applying hypotheses, defined processes, and success criteria, and communicate clear conclusions through structured readouts. 

• Run defined go-to-market experiments across outreach channels and messaging, and capture results to support team learning. 

• Evaluate customer feedback and performance data to inform optimization and scaling decisions within your assigned pilots, adjusting your approach as priorities and constraints shift. 

• Learn and apply analytical techniques to customer and pipeline data to spot trends and track pilot performance. 

• Navigate ambiguity by finding the right resources, sourcing missing information, and applying defined processes to launch new outreach motions. 

• Build foundational knowledge of unfamiliar motions, flex your execution with guidance, and synthesize pilot learnings into simple documentation and summaries that help the team move forward.
