Sales Development Representative (SDR)

Satsuma is hiring a high-performing SDR to help build the future of Agentic Commerce.

This is a high-visibility role where you'll work directly with our CEO and Chief Commercial Officer to generate pipeline, land meetings with senior retail executives, and help define our outbound motion as we scale.

We're looking for someone with a competitive mindset who thrives in a pure hunting environment. You'll own your pipeline, identify and engage net-new accounts, build prospecting strategies, and continuously refine messaging to break into enterprise retailers and merchants across verticals.

This is not a role for someone who wants to sit behind an inbound queue. You'll be expected to create opportunities from scratch, move quickly, operate independently, and contribute ideas that shape our go-to-market strategy.

If you're excited about AI, LLMs, Agentic Commerce, Agentic Discovery, GEO, AEO, and the next generation of digital commerce, we'd love to talk.
