Sales Development Representative

As an EROAD Sales Development Representative, you will bring tenacity, creativity, and commercial curiosity to help build a healthy pipeline of qualified opportunities.

• Partner with Enterprise Sales Managers and Account Managers to fill pipeline, align messaging, and contribute to team quota achievement.
• Maintain active engagement with leads through tailored follow-up communications that nurture interest and build urgency.
• Create and optimise outbound sequences to increase conversion rates and reduce cycle times.
