Founding Sales Development Representative

Job description

About Us Clarasight is the leading AI-powered Mission Control for Corporate Travel. Some of the world's most recognizable companies — representing over $5B in managed travel spend — rely on us to turn travel spend into a strategic advantage. We are growing fast, landing marquee logos, and building the GTM engine that will define the next chapter. About You You are genuinely curious about how businesses work — how companies operate, how executives think, and how travel fits into that picture. You communicate with clarity and confidence, equally at home on the phone with a CFO or writing a cold email. You are resilient, able to hear no all day, stay positive, and come back sharper tomorrow. You think in systems, not one-offs: you don't just want to book one meeting, you want to figure out how to book a hundred. You treat AI tools as a default, not a novelty. About the Role This is not a traditional SDR role. You will be the first SDR at Clarasight, working directly with our co-founders to scale the outbound motion. You will be trained on MEDDPICC from day one, and top performers have a clear path to enterprise Account Executive within 12 months. No politics. No waiting list.

As such, we explicitly seek people that bring diverse life experiences, diverse educational backgrounds, diverse cultures, and diverse work experiences. Please be prepared to share with us how your perspective will bring something unique and valuable to our team.
