Sales Development Representative

Scaled Agile, Inc. (SAI) is in the middle of a significant transformation. Long recognized as the provider of SAFe®—the world’s most trusted system for business agility—we are evolving into a broader enterprise training and enablement platform focused on unlocking new growth through AI-driven agility.

Today’s organizations face a massive shift: leaders must deliver value faster, make smarter decisions, and harness AI to stay competitive. Our SAFe and enterprise AI training offerings help them do exactly that.

As we expand our partner ecosystem, launch new AI-Native offerings, and modernize our GTM engine, the Marketing organization is building a next-generation demand and pipeline function—and the BDR/SDR team sits at the center of it.

SAI is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado. There is no requirement that this person live in Colorado, as we have a virtual team with regular in-person meetings. SAI is a Pledge 1% corporate philanthropy movement member. Through this program, SAI contributes to the local community and seeks to inspire and encourage other companies to do the same.

We’re seeking a motivated Sales Development Representative who will sit within Marketing and partner closely with Sales, Rev Ops, and our global partner ecosystem to drive top-of-funnel engagement.
