Own your outreach: Leverage powerful tools (Outreach, Sales Nav, Zoominfo, Orum, Qualified, and more) and craft messages that actually convert. You’ll research, write, and connect like a pro.
Engage with execs: Sell to everyone from ICs to the C-suite—honing your storytelling for both technical and business audiences.
Grow fast: Crush your goals and you’ll have multiple paths forward—Account Executive, Account Manager, Solutions Engineer—you name it.
Go beyond the screen: Represent Alation at in-person events and industry gatherings.
5-8+ years of SDR, BDR, or similar experience with proven results.
A passion for building a career in tech sales (and maybe leadership down the line).
Experience with tools like Salesforce, Outreach, and Sales Navigator.
