What Is Employee Growth Rate & Why Is It Important?
We are growing here at InfluxData and looking for a passionate, curious, and motivated, team-player to join us on the Sales Development team. We’ll provide you the tools and resources to be successful – but this isn’t the run of the mill SDR role. You are responsible for building your own lists, targeting accounts, and devising creative strategies to break into those accounts with help and support from your team.
Your peers are top performers, regular quota crushers, and find creative ways to solve complex challenges. We’re a close knit team, committed to both our individual success and the success of others. Our SDR team is the foundation of our revenue growth. You’ll be working closely with the Sales Team to identify and qualify leads, build relationships with prospects, and drive pipeline.

- Research, contact and qualify leads for the Sales Team (inbound and outbound)
- Using email, phone and social media, contact prospects to articulate InfluxData’s value
- Build rapport with prospects
- Create and evolve effective email and social media strategies for outreach to prospects
- Work closely with the Sales Team on support and execution on their strategies
- Maintain a solid understanding of our software solutions, competitors and industry trends
- Track all activities in Salesforce
- Create strong relationships with internal teams and stakeholders
What we’re looking for:
- +2 years experience in Saas/PaaS sales/lead development
- Superior written and verbal communication skills, able to talk to and connect with all levels at an organization
- Proven history of following through with goals and commitments
- The drive and determination for cold calling (ability to handle rejection and keep moving forward)
- Experience with gmail, Salesforce, social media platforms
- Quick learner, able to take initiative, excellent at problem solving
It’s a plus if you have:
- Relevant Bachelor’s degree
- Experience in NoSQL data technologies or other modern platforms
- Experience in selling solutions based on open source software
- Demonstration of success in a non-sales goal-oriented environment
