SalesDevelopmentRepresentative

## The Role We're looking for an experienced Sales Development Representative to own how Avante creates pipeline. You'll be the first conversation a prospect has with us, and you'll set the tone for everything that follows. The benefits leaders we sell to (CHROs, VPs of Total Rewards, benefits directors at Fortune 1000 companies) are busy, skeptical of AI hype, and flooded with point-solution pitches. Your job is to cut through that with a sharp point of view about a problem they feel every day. This role runs all three motions. You'll run cold outbound into enterprise HR and benefits leaders, qualify and convert inbound demand generated by marketing, and work leads sourced through our channel partners. You'll need to understand the difference between these motions and adjust your approach accordingly. A partner-sourced warm intro is not the same conversation as a cold sequence into a CHRO who's never heard of us. Because you'll report directly to the CRO, you'll have unusual visibility into how the whole go-to-market machine works, and unusual influence over how the SDR function gets built. The playbooks, sequences, and qualification frameworks aren't fully written yet. You'll help write them. The right person treats that as the best part of the job, not the scary part. This is a fit for someone 2–3 years into a sales development career and may have also done full life cycle sales who has carried a pipeline quota, knows how to research an account and write outreach that gets replies, and is ready to operate at a pace where weeks feel like months. ## What You'll Do Build an enterprise pipeline across three motions. Run cold outbound into Fortune 1000 HR and benefits leaders, qualify inbound demand from marketing, and convert warm introductions from our channel partners. Own your number and the activity that gets you there. Research accounts like an analyst, not a list-puller. Before you reach out, understand the company's benefits ecosystem, recent moves, and likely
