Role Overview
We're looking for a driven outbound-focused
Founding SDR to own new business pipeline generation across the US market. This is an outbound-focused role responsible for prospecting into e-commerce brands that fit Mention Me's Ideal Customer Profile, using a mix of targeted outreach and AI to personalise at scale.
Day-to-day, you'll research target accounts, book and run qualification calls with senior marketing decision-makers, uncover pain points, and tailor Mention Me's pitch accordingly. You'll work closely with the London-based Sales, Marketing, and Partnerships teams on multi-touch campaigns, while keeping CRM data clean and continuously optimising your outreach for conversion.
As our founding US SDR, you won't just be filling a quota — you'll be helping us understand the US market, refine our messaging for American e-commerce brands, and lay the groundwork for a larger US sales presence.
Key Responsibilities
- Proactively prospect and qualify new business opportunities through calls, emails, Apollo, and LinkedIn outreach — with a creative, persona-led approach that directly connects our offering to each prospect's pain points
- Research and target high-potential ecommerce brands across the US that align with Mention Me's Ideal Customer Profile
- Lead with insight: confidently introduce Mention Me's suite of products and tailor your pitch to each prospect's specific marketing challenges
- Book and run qualification calls with key decision-makers, uncover pain points, and set up high-quality meetings for our Account Executives
- Collaborate with the London-based Marketing, Partnerships, and Sales teams to build multi-touch campaigns and accelerate pipeline growth
- Act as Mention Me's eyes and ears in the US market — feeding back intel on how American ecommerce brands talk about acquisition, referral, and growth
- Keep your CRM data spotless, track outreach metrics, and continuously optimise for better conversion rates
- Use AI tools to personalise outreach and operate efficiently at scale
- Meet and exceed monthly activity targets and qualified opportunity goals
