Sales Development Representative
Location: Remote (US, Central or Eastern business hours)
Compensation: $55,000 base + $15,000 target variable ($70,000 OTE)
Start Date: ASAP
About the Role
At Scientific Safety Alliance (SSA), we support services that companies need to operate. We work with pharmaceutical manufacturing, healthcare, aerospace, semiconductor, data center, research, and advanced manufacturing environments where compliance is mandatory. This is not a passive lead-routing role. The Sales Development Representative is the first person every new lead talks to. Customers come to SSA needing cleanroom certification, biological safety cabinet certification, fume hood testing, viable sampling, compressed air testing, laboratory equipment calibration, and TAB-related services. Many are under a deadline and don’t know exactly what they need.
Your job is to respond fast, figure out what the customer needs, get qualified opportunities to the right Account Executive, and open new accounts through outbound. When a deal is small, you close it yourself.
What You’ll Do
- Respond to and Qualify Inbound Leads
- Build Outbound Pipeline
- Close Smaller Deals
- Run a Disciplined Pipeline
What We’re Looking For
At least 6 months in a role with phone work and targets: SDR, inside sales, outbound calling, recruiting, call center, or retail sales. Urgency. You follow up today, not tomorrow. Organization. You manage dozens of open conversations without dropping one. Comfortable picking up the phone and calling someone who isn’t expecting you. Clear, confident writing and phone presence. Coachable. You want feedback and act on it. Comfortable working independently from home with a reliable setup. HubSpot or other CRM experience a plus; Spanish a plus. No industry experience required. We’ll train you.
Why SSA
SSA is one of the fastest-growing companies in the life sciences services industry, having acquired 20+ companies in just over two years. We are 100% founder and employee-owned, and every employee has a stake in the outcome. Our dream is to accelerate science. Delightfully. We are building the leading integrated safety partner to health and science organizations.
Benefits
- Equity ownership in SSA; every employee has a stake in the company
- 401(k) match
- 100% paid Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
- Life insurance
- Generous paid time off
- Parental leave
- Professional growth opportunities
If you move fast, stay organized, and want to get into real sales, this is a role where you can build pipeline, close deals, and grow into an Account Executive at SSA.
