Sales Development Representative

TL;DR: We are scaling from $XM to $XXM ARR and looking for winners to work directly with our CEO and SVP of Sales. This is an entirely untapped $280B market where our first two sellers just closed $3.8M in three months. We are moving $500K ACV contracts with a sub-100-day sales cycle - unmatched velocity for anyone hungry, aggressive, and competitive. If you perform, you’ll be fast-tracked for promotion.

Background: Strala is rebuilding the foundation of the world’s largest industry - insurance.
In less than a year, we reached multi seven-figure ARR. We raised two rounds from Tier 1 funds including Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, led by the partner who was early in OpenAI, Cognition and Scale AI. Our team comes from institutions like Harvard, Berkeley & Oxford and firms like Optiver, AMD & Palantir (+ICPC, NeurIPS backgrounds).

• Drive pipeline for massive, AI-enabled enterprise service contracts ($500k+ ACV)

• Join a team where two sellers closed > $3M in the first 3 months

• Build and aggressively expand target account lists aligned to our ICP

• Run first discovery calls and qualify high-value revenue opportunities

• Work directly with senior sellers to convert conversations into real ARR
