An early-stage biotechnology company specializing in personal stem cell banking and regenerative medicine is looking for a Sales Development Representative to build and own its outbound prospecting engine from the ground up.

The company partners with a national network of physicians and operates with a lean, high-performing sales team. As demand accelerates, they're investing in AI-driven prospecting to free up their account executives to focus on closing.

This role owns the full outbound cycle – researching and building targeted physician lists, running multi-channel outreach campaigns across calls, email, SMS, and Linked In, and booking qualified meetings for the account executive team. Given a target specialty or region, the SDR independently develops and executes the prospecting strategy using AI tools and automation rather than working off a pre-built list.

Success means consistently generating a minimum of 10 qualified meetings per week, keeping the CRM clean and current, and proactively identifying ways to improve outreach performance.

Lead Sourcing & Prospecting

• Identify and source qualified leads across physician networks, medical practices, and specialty verticals using AI tools and data enrichment platforms
• Build and maintain enriched lead lists tailored to specific regions and medical specialties
• Develop and execute independent prospecting strategies based on client-defined targeting parameters
• Execute multi-channel outreach campaigns (calls, email, SMS, Linked In) to book qualified meetings
• Manage automated drip campaigns and follow-up sequences to move leads through the pipeline
• Qualify leads and handle initial objections before handoff to account executives
• Consistently generate a minimum of 10 qualified meetings per week
• Log all prospecting activity, lead status, and meeting outcomes in the CRM
• Track and report on key metrics including response rates, meetings booked, and pipeline velocity
• Maintain data accuracy and hygiene across all lead records

Sales Enablement & Process Improvement

• Join sales calls to build product and industry knowledge
• Support account executives with research and presentation materials as needed
• Identify and pitch process or tooling improvements to increase outreach efficiency

• 2+ years of SDR/BDR experience with end-to-end ownership of outbound cold prospecting
• Hands-on experience with AI-driven prospecting and data enrichment tools (e.g., Clay, ChatGPT, Claude, Apollo, Instantly, or Zoom Info)
• Proven track record of meeting or exceeding a monthly qualified-meeting quota (40+ meetings/month benchmark)
• Multi-channel outreach experience spanning cold calls, email, SMS, and Linked In
• CRM experience with Salesforce, Hub Spot, Zoho, or an equivalent platform
• Bachelor's degree in any field
• C1+ English (CEFR) for daily client-facing communication with US-based physician offices

• Prior experience selling into healthcare, medtech, or biotech verticals
• Direct physician or medical-network outreach experience
• Experience independently building targeted prospecting lists and territory strategies without heavy oversight
• Familiarity with sales engagement platforms such as Outreach.io, Sales Loft, or Instantly
