Who are we?

Lightyear’s platform helps enterprise IT teams automate telecom procurement, network inventory management, telecom bill payment, and much more, and is utilized by companies including Honeywell, Alo Yoga, Palo Alto Networks, and Louis Vuitton. Lightyear has raised nearly $65M from the first investors in Roblox, Discord, Coupang, Robinhood, and Flexport.

What’s the role?

We’re looking for a top performing Sales Development Representative at Lightyear. In this remote role, you’ll work closely with our GTM Strategy Lead to help us build, execute, and iterate on our outbound customer acquisition playbook. You will build and learn about our ideal customer profile, contact prospects, build customer excitement, and tee up important sales from a combination of outbound and inbound channels. You’ll operate as a core member of our sales team and have the opportunity to see significant upward mobility in Lightyear if the fit is strong. We’re looking for someone that’s just as excited about building something as they are about closing big deals.

This position will be full-time, remote, and salaried with a $70-75k base and a 100-105k OTE. You will have the opportunity to move up in our organization much faster than in a traditional SDR role.

Responsibilities:

  • Identifying and setting meetings with potential 6-figure+ enterprise accounts who fit Lightyear’s ideal customer profile
  • Iterate on sales collateral and messaging with marketing
  • Work closely with marketing and sales to iterate on strategy, content, messaging, potential channels, and sales enablement tools

Requirements:
  • Any outbound sales experience in telecom or B2B SaaS
  • Excellent communication skills - you write a great email and give an excellent demo
  • Energy, grit, and flexibility needed to thrive in a constantly changing work environment
  • An innate ability to self-start, prioritize, and creatively problem-solve
  • Bonus: experience selling telecom or SaaS to IT professionals is welcome

About Lightyear

Learn more about Lightyear and their company culture.

View company profile

At the heart of Lightyear is a culture driven by a mission to fix B2B telecom. The company recognizes that telecom is a consequential, multi-trillion dollar industry that powers digital interaction, yet it remains antiquated and resistant to change. This understanding fuels their passion to be a significant driver of real, positive, and durable change. To achieve this ambitious goal, Lightyear cultivates a culture that attracts and supports aspirational individuals who are passionate about solving complex problems. The team operates within a remote-first, distributed working environment, a testament to their belief that talent knows no geographic bounds. This structure fosters a high-trust, autonomous atmosphere where team members are empowered to drive their work forward as they see fit, balancing professional ambitions with personal and family obligations.

The company's core values are deeply embedded in its daily operations, likening the team to a professional sports team that is unequivocally 'here to win'. This ethos translates into a focus on high performance, continuous improvement, and a collective drive to be better every single day. They are not afraid to have tough discussions, admit faults, or make necessary changes to enhance output. A key tenet of their culture is embracing 'The Beginner's Mind', which means approaching challenges with humility, openness, and an eagerness to learn, free from the hubris often associated with incumbency. This mindset encourages constant experimentation, data-driven decision-making, and viewing measured failure as a necessary component of innovation. Problems are seen as opportunities for growth, with a focus on solutions rather than blame, fostering an optimistic and resilient environment where individuals take ownership and work collaboratively to overcome any obstacle.
