Albi is looking for a driven Sales Development Representative to join our rapidly growing team in our new Chicago office! This is the perfect opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to learn sales the right way, work alongside an extraordinarily passionate and supportive team, and build a long term career in an exciting field. If you're competitive, coachable, and ready to join a company with a proven business model, we'd love to learn more about you.
About Us:

What the role is:
As an SDR, you are the first conversation a restoration company has with Albi. Your job is to find the right businesses, start meaningful conversations with owners and decision makers, and book qualified demos for our Account Executives. Every call is a chance to understand how a business runs, uncover the problems holding it back, and show how Albi can help solve them. If you enjoy digging into problems and working through solutions, this is the right role for you. You'll be the engine that drives our pipeline, and your work directly fuels the growth of the company.
How you'll spend your time and where it can take you:
- Make 60 to 80 dials a day, supported by emails and LinkedIn touches, to restoration business owners and decision makers.
- Book 12+ qualified meetings per month for our Account Executives, with clean, detailed hand off notes so every demo starts strong.
- Research restoration companies in your assigned territory to understand their size, services, and current software before reaching out.
- Respond to and qualify inbound leads quickly to make sure no opportunity slips through the cracks.
- Uncover pain points through discovery conversations and determine whether a prospect is a good fit for Albi.
- Work your sequences, tasks, and pipeline in HubSpot, keeping all activity and records accurate and up to date.
- Participate in regular call coaching, role plays, and team trainings to sharpen your skills.
- Learn the restoration industry inside and out, including how our customers run their businesses and who we compete against.
- Attend industry tradeshows and events as needed.
- Grow your career through clear promotion paths: top performers earn the move to Account Executive to run their own full sales cycle, step into a Senior SDR role with larger territories and mentorship of new reps, or grow into Revenue Operations and other areas of the business.
- Get hands on coaching from sales leadership and exposure to every part of a high growth startup. We promote from within and invest heavily in our SDRs.
