Sales Development Representative (SDR)

Sales Development Representative (SDR)

Location: Charleston, SC or Knoxville, TN (On-site / Hybrid preferred)

About the Role: Kognitos is pioneering a new era of enterprise automation — where business users automate in plain English, not code. We're looking for a hungry, driven SDR to join our growing sales team and work side-by-side with our Account Executives in Charleston, SC. This is a ground-floor opportunity for a recent grad or early-career sales professional (0–3 years) who wants to learn enterprise SaaS sales from the inside out. You won't be siloed in a call center — you'll be embedded with the AE team, touching every stage of the pipeline and building the foundation for a career in enterprise sales.

Key Responsibilities:

• Cold calls, email sequences, LinkedIn outreach — own your top of funnel
• Partner with AEs across the full sales cycle — demos, lead execution, follow-ups
• Represent Kognitos at conferences and industry events
• Hit activity and pipeline targets consistently

Required Qualifications:

• 0–3 years of sales or relevant experience
• Entrepreneur mindset — treats pipeline like their own business
• Hungry, coachable, not afraid to pick up the phone
• Based in or able to work in Charleston, SC
• Aspiring enterprise AE — this is a launchpad, not a landing spot

Preferred: CRM experience, SaaS/tech exposure, interest in AI/automation

What We Offer:

• $50K–$70K base + variable bonus + equity
• Work directly with AEs — real mentorship
• Health, dental, vision
• Clear path to AE for top performers

Final note

You do not need to match all of the listed expectations to apply for this position. We are committed to building a team with a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and skills.
