Sales Development Representative; Outbound Emails

Sales Development Representative (Email-only)

100% Remote | Flexible Hours | Unlimited Paid Leave | Email-only Outreach

The short version

We're hiring an outbound email specialist to own the cold email strategy at Trialfacts, a clinical trial recruitment company that's been in business for 19 years. The job is hyper-personalised 1-to-1 email to the academic researchers and commercial sponsors who run clinical trials at institutions like Harvard, Yale , Bayer and Novo Nordisk. This role is email outreach only and you're measured on replies and booked calls, not on how many emails you sent or how long you were at your desk.

If you've managed outbound for years and you're done with the phone, this is a role built entirely around the part of the job you're good at. If you're a strong writer who wants to own a channel and push AI tooling as far as it goes, you get to prove that a well-researched, well-written email beats the blast, and run it your way.

We've deliberately chosen writing-led outreach over mass sending. We're hiring someone to do it properly.

About Trialfacts

We recruit participants for clinical trials, connecting academic researchers and commercial sponsors with the right people for their studies. Our clients are academic health researchers at universities in the US and Australia, plus a growing commercial segment that includes pharma, biotech, CROs, and research sites.

We've been doing this for 19 years. 1,097 studies. 476 client organisations. 35,000+ participants enrolled. 35 team members across 7 countries. Our mission is to accelerate cures in 10 major diseases, and the researchers and sponsors you email are working on real studies that could become treatments.

We've decided cold email here should be one well-researched email at a time, not a high-volume blast. The credibility is real (Harvard, Yale, Bayer and Novo Nordisk clients, over a thousand studies, a refund rate), and there's a lot worth writing about. What's missing is someone to turn that into outreach researchers and sponsors actually reply to.

What you'll do

Research the contact. Read a researcher's published work or a sponsor's pipeline and find the specific, true detail that makes a cold email worth opening. Genuine personalisation, not a first name merged into a template.

Write the email. Write the first email and the follow-ups: short, clear, persuasive, typo-free, and genuinely about the person receiving it. The writing is the work, and it's what earns the reply.

Run the channel. Build and run the sequences in our sending platform, control who receives what, and manage how much goes out.

Handle the replies. Read incoming replies, respond well, book the intro call where there's interest, and hand qualified conversations to the closers. Use AI tools to research faster and write better while keeping the email personal and accurate.

Test and improve. Run split tests, try new campaigns, read the results, and double down on what lifts reply and booking rates. Flag where a list is weak or a step is slow, and work with the dev team to fix it.
