• Leverage data and reporting to find areas for improvement and optimization, both individually and across the sales development function
• Give feedback to, and receive feedback from, other team members to ensure consistent learnings, and mentor new SDRs as they join

• Strong communication skills: comfortable speaking on the phone, clear in writing, and able to adapt messaging to the moment
• A learner's mindset: self-motivated, resourceful, and excited to learn new strategies, messaging, and tools
• A creative thinker: eager to experiment with new outreach ideas and constantly looking for ways to improve efficiency and impact
