Sales Development Representative

Activated Scale is a Techstars Chicago 2022 company working with a consumer education company launching a premium cohort-based program for senior professionals. The Sales Development Representative will manage inbound inquiries, advise prospective students about the AI-focused curriculum, follow up with admitted candidates, identify sponsored-tuition candidates, and guide prospects through enrollment.

Responsibilities:

• Managing the inbound inquiry queue across email and phone
• Running roughly 20 to 30 conversations a day with prospective students
• Explaining an AI-focused curriculum credibly to people who are senior, sceptical and busy
• Following up with admitted candidates who have not yet enrolled, and closing that gap
• Identifying strong candidates for sponsored tuition places within each cohort
• Owning the relationship from first contact through completed enrolment

Requirements:

• A career SDR or admissions advisor with at least two years in the seat. This is not a first sales job
• Genuinely polished communication. You will be speaking to executives daily and representing a brand that cares deeply about how it shows up
• Real fluency and enthusiasm around AI. This is an AI program teaching AI, and you cannot fake interest in it for thirty calls a day
• Comfort with volume. High call counts, an inbox that fills up, and the discipline to work both without dropping people
• Belief in education as a product. The people who do well here care that the program is good, not just that the deal closed
• US-based, available full-time at 40 hours a week
