We’re looking for a Hybrid Sales Development Representative (SDR) to generate qualified pipeline across both inbound and outbound sales motions within an assigned territory. As a Hybrid SDR, you will own the front end of the customer journey for your territory. You’ll respond to and qualify inbound interest while proactively prospecting into organizations and accounts that align with our ideal customer profile.

You’ll seek to understand each customer’s unique context, uncover pain points, and connect the right Instructure solutions directly to their goals.
