Inbound Sdr Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Role
We're looking for a highly responsive, detail-oriented Inbound Sales Development Representative (SDR) to help accelerate ThoughtSpot's growth in the US. In this role, you'll be the first point of contact for prospective customers engaging with our brand - qualifying inbound interest, uncovering business needs, and converting that engagement into high-quality pipeline.
This is not a traditional inbound role. You'll operate at the intersection of marketing, sales, and AI - leveraging data, automation, and generative AI tools to engage buyers quickly, intelligently, and in a highly personalized way. You'll play a key role in shaping first impressions and ensuring every inbound interaction reflects ThoughtSpot's value and vision.
As a trusted front line to the business, you'll help translate curiosity into meaningful conversations for both technical and business audiences.
What You'll Do:

• Own qualification and follow-up of inbound leads across channels (web, events, content, campaigns) to generate high-quality pipeline
• Respond rapidly to inbound interest, engaging prospects with thoughtful, personalized outreach
• Use AI tools and data insights to tailor messaging based on each prospect's behavior, industry, and needs
• Partner closely with Marketing to provide feedback on lead quality, campaign performance, and conversion trends
• Collaborate with Account Executives to ensure smooth handoff of qualified opportunities
• Leverage automation and AI-driven workflows to improve speed-to-lead and conversion rates
• Identify patterns in inbound activity to uncover new opportunities or optimize engagement strategies
• Maintain accurate activity tracking, lead status, and pipeline data in Salesforce
• Consistently meet and exceed pipeline generation and conversion targets

What You Bring:

• Experience in an inbound SDR, BDR, or customer-facing role (or strong interest in moving into sales)
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage and qualify both technical and non-technical audiences
• A customer-first mindset with a focus on responsiveness and quality engagement
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with a high volume of inbound activity
• Curiosity and enthusiasm for using AI, automation, and data to improve performance
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to quickly understand prospect needs and map them to business value
• Collaborative approach with a desire to partner closely with Sales and Marketing
• Positive attitude, coachability, and a drive to grow within a high-performing team

Preferred:

• Exposure to Business Intelligence, Data Analytics, or Data Warehousing concepts
• Experience with tools like Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, or marketing automation platforms
• Familiarity with AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, sales engagement platforms, or workflow automation tools)

In Illinois, the estimated annual salary for this role is $80k per year. Actual compensation may vary and will be determined based on permissible, non-discriminatory factors such as skills, qualifications, experience, and location of the selected candidate.
Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits.
