About this Role:
As a Sales Development Representative (SDR) at Astronomer, you'll be the first point of contact for prospective customers and a key driver of pipeline for the sales team. You'll identify and qualify high-potential leads, introduce them to Astro, and set up meaningful conversations for our Account Executives. If you're hungry to build a career in sales and want to work with technology that data teams actually love, this is your role.
What You Get to Do:
- Prospect & Outreach – Research and engage potential customers through outbound calls, emails, and LinkedIn to build a strong, consistent pipeline.
- Qualify Leads – Assess inbound and outbound leads for fit across needs, budget, and intent to convert them into Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs).
- Partner with Sales & Marketing – Work closely with both teams to refine MQL-to-SQL conversion strategies and keep high-quality leads flowing.
- Work Smart with Tools – Use Salesforce, sales automation platforms, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator to track engagement and sharpen your outreach.
- Stay Sharp – Keep up with industry trends, customer pain points, and Astronomer's evolving value prop so every conversation lands.
- Hit Your Numbers – Own your pipeline goals — outreach volume, meetings set, and conversion rates — and push beyond them.
