About the Role
We’re looking for a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to join our growing team and drive new customer acquisition through full-cycle outbound sales. This is a key role for someone who thrives on prospecting, engaging decision-makers, and owning the early sales journey from first touch to qualified opportunity.
What You'll Do

- Execute personalized outreach across email, phone, LinkedIn, and events to drive qualified meetings
- Develop a deep understanding of Maneva’s platform and articulate the value proposition to different buyer personas (operations, IT, safety, quality, and engineering leads)
- Manage and track outreach activities in Salesforce and Apollo, ensuring timely and thoughtful follow-ups
- Qualify leads through discovery and hand off to Account Executives or advance them through the early sales funnel depending on team structure
- Collaborate closely with marketing and sales leadership to refine messaging, target verticals, and improve outreach strategies
- Provide feedback from the field to help shape go-to-market positioning, product direction, and growth initiatives
Requirements
### **What We're Looking For**
- 2-3 years of B2B outbound sales experience, ideally in a technical or manufacturing-related industry
- Demonstrated ability to run outbound campaigns and convert cold leads into sales conversations
- Clear, confident communicator — both written and verbal — who can explain technical value in simple terms
- Organized and proactive: able to manage a high volume of outreach and follow-ups
- Entrepreneurial mindset — you take initiative, iterate quickly, and thrive in a fast-moving startup environment
- Comfortable using tools like Salesforce, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and similar platforms
- Bonus: Experience selling into manufacturing, industrial, or operational environments
Benefits
### **Why Join Us?**
- Opportunity to work with cutting-edge AI technology in manufacturing.
- Competitive salary with a commission structure and professional growth opportunities
- Flexible, remote work with local travel for company engagements.
