Afterpay is looking for a high-energy, organized individual with advanced communication skills to join our elite team. As an SDR for the SMB team, you will be on the front-lines of a fast-growing ecommerce payments business - talking commerce and payments with business owners and executives at small to medium sized businesses. You should be comfortable on the phone, have excellent email drafting skills, and a genuine curiosity in the operations of various types of online businesses and their structures. You should be highly analytical, constantly thinking of ways to improve, and not accepting things as status quo (i.e. A/B testing email subject lines, looking for creative ways to source leads, etc). Importantly, you should be comfortable with, or quick to learn, the user interfaces of software programs (like Salesforce CRM) that support you in ramping and maintaining your pipeline. SDRs are responsible for setting meetings for AEs by conducting cold outreach to develop and pass on new leads for small and medium sized businesses.

A successful SDR should use personalized efforts to authentically connect with potential customers, spark curiosity, and qualify merchants to hand off to a successful close. We have a team oriented culture where our SDRs will get to learn from/work alongside Account Executives and the SMB Sales Manager.
