Sales Development - Canada

ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company transforming how we interact with technology.

We launched in January 2023 with the first human-like AI voice model. Today, we serve millions of users and thousands of businesses - from fast-growing startups to large enterprises like Deutsche Telekom and Meta. Our investors are some of the world's most prominent, including Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth and Sequoia. We've raised $781M in funding and our last valuation was $11B - multiples of 11, always.
We have expanded from voice into three main platforms:

• ElevenAgents enables businesses to deliver seamless and intelligent customer experiences, with the integrations, testing, monitoring, and reliability necessary to deploy voice and chat agents at scale.

• ElevenCreative empowers creators and marketers to generate and edit speech, music, image, and video across 70+ languages.

• ElevenAPI gives developers access to our leading AI audio foundational models.

Everything we do is the result of the creativity and commitment of our team - builders doing the best work of their lives. We are researchers, engineers, and operators. IOI medalists and ex-founders. If you want to work hard and create lasting positive impact, we want to hear from you.

• High-velocity: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy.

• Impact not job titles: We don’t have job titles. Instead, it’s about the impact you have. No task is above or beneath you.

• AI first: We use AI to move faster with higher-quality results. We do this across the whole company—from engineering to growth to operations.

• Excellence everywhere: Everything we do should match the quality of our AI models.

• Global team: We prioritize your talent, not your location.

• Innovative culture: You’ll be part of a generational opportunity to define the trajectory of AI, surrounded by a team pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

• Growth paths: Joining ElevenLabs means joining a dynamic team with countless opportunities to drive impact - beyond your immediate role and responsibilities.

• Learning & development: ElevenLabs proactively supports professional development through an annual discretionary stipend.

• Social travel: We also provide an annual discretionary stipend to meet up with colleagues each year, however you choose.

• Annual company offsite: Each year, we bring the entire team together in a new location - past offsites have included Croatia and Italy.

• Co-working: If you’re not located near one of our main hubs, we offer a monthly co-working stipend.

About the role

As our founding Sales Development Representative (SDR) based in Canada, at ElevenLabs you will build the outbound engine for one of our fastest-moving new markets, working closely with our Canadian Account Executives.

We don't just sell a product or custom-level solutions; we are partnering with enterprises to help them generate new experiences and monetization opportunities at scale with our breakthrough voice technology. In this role you will:

• Build the outbound motion for Canada from scratch — defining the target account list, the messaging that works in this market, and the AI-assisted workflows that power it.

• Run account-based outbound into a concentrated list of Canada's largest enterprises, multithreading across business units rather than working a high-volume lead list.

• Engage prospects through cold calling, email, and social outreach, using AI agents to handle enrichment, sequencing, and signal monitoring so your focus stays on the highest-value interactions.

• Generate pipeline from our in-market presence — Canadian tech events, hackathons, and community moments — turning the room into booked meetings.

• Work closely with the Account Executives and sales leadership to feed back what's landing, refine the playbook, and report on the KPIs that matter: conversion rates, lead quality, and outreach effectiveness.

Requirements

• Prior outbound B2B sales experience with a track record of securing new business meetings.

• Comfortable operating and iterating on AI-assisted workflows and automation tools (e.g. Clay, Apollo, Outreach, or similar) — you don't need to build from scratch, but you know how to run and tune a system.

• Comfortable being early. This is the first SDR seat in a market we're standing up from scratch — you'll be building the playbook, not inheriting one.

• Curiosity — asking insightful questions and developing solutions from a foundation of knowledge and insight.

• Self-motivated, thriving as part of a team while possessing the ability to stay driven and proactive independently.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English. Professional French is strongly preferred given the Quebec market.

Location

This role is remote-first and can be executed from anywhere in Canada, with the ability to operate in ET required. There is a strong preference for candidates based in Toronto, where the majority of our Canadian team sits and where we're opening an office.
