To bring generative AI to the enterprise.
Role
Who you are
- If you're energized by outbound prospecting, curious about AI, and hungry to make your mark at one of the fastest-growing companies in the space, this is your launchpad
- 2+ years of experience in a sales development role at a SaaS company
- A proven track record of exceeding outbound pipeline generation goals in a B2B SaaS startup environment
- Genuinely excellent written communication skills—everyone says that, but we sell to great writers, so we mean it. Poorly written emails aren't a good look
- A self-starter with an experimental mindset—there's no playbook yet, so we need your help building it!
What the job involves
- As a sales development representative at WRITER, you'll be on the front lines of the enterprise AI revolution - the very first conversation many Fortune 500 buyers will ever have about our platform
- You won't just be dialing for meetings; you'll be shaping how the world's largest companies understand and adopt generative AI
- Every discovery call you run, every account you break into, and every qualified opportunity you hand off directly feeds the pipeline that powers WRITER's next phase of hypergrowth
- This is a high-impact, high-visibility role
- You'll partner closely with our enterprise account executives to crack into named target accounts across industries like retail, financial services, travel, and healthcare - the same kinds of companies already transforming their work with WRITER
- You'll sharpen your craft in a fast-moving environment, build a deep fluency in enterprise AI, and set yourself on an accelerated path toward becoming a top-tier enterprise seller
- You'll report to the manager of sales development
- Build pipeline from ideal customer profile (ICP) accounts by reaching out thoughtfully and creatively to engage target personas
- Find inventive ways to connect with prospects and potential buyers who fit our ICP
- Continuously look for opportunities to automate, streamline, and improve processes for greater efficiency
- Research key accounts' initiatives to develop a compelling "hypothesis of value"
- Set meetings for the Sales team once a lead reaches a qualified stage
- Strategize and execute multi-touch, account-based campaigns in partnership with Marketing and Sales
- …and yes, maintain accurate information in Salesforce so we can scale what works!
Our take
AI-assisted writing tools have taken off over recent years. With the likes of high-exposure company Grammarly accelerating adoption of such tools, a flurry of startups have appeared to offer their own takes. WRITER’s angle is to leverage AI as a means of standardizing and scaling both content and communications for business teams. The tool offers auto filling and inline suggestions that keep content aligned with pre-determined company language and style guides.
This branded fine-tuning function distinguishes it from full copy-generation competitors, as well as from Grammarly itself, which is a more generalist copyediting tool. It subsequently caters to major enterprise clients looking to maintain standards across multiple and sprawling teams, and the company has managed to net major clients like Deloitte, Twitter, UiPath, and Accenture.
While AI-related buzz remains solidly around generative AI's like ChatGPT and Bard, WRITER's narrow target market - in which it has already found success - supplies plenty of scope to grow, as AI copyediting tools look set to rapidly become content industry standard. With continued new launches and updates to its offerings, as well as an impressive $200 million Series C awarded in 2024, the company is well-placed for further success.
