Role
Who you are

- A curious problem solver who digs into customer challenges, technical details, and emerging AI workflows to stay ahead
- At least 2 years of experience managing an SDR team with ownership of SQL and pipeline targets
- Demonstrated experience implementing AI in the SDR motion (from pilot to scaled program) with measurable improvements in productivity or cost efficiency
- A minimum of 5 years of total sales experience
- Bachelor’s degree required
- Experience operating across global regions; EMEA and APAC experience is a strong plus

- Design Tailored Solutions: Create architectural recommendations that fit each customer’s business needs—whether they’re building a chat app, deploying an AI support agent, or connecting millions of users
- Deliver Demos that Inspire: Build and present compelling demos that show not just how Sendbird works, but what it can do for them
- Handle Security & Compliance: Be confident articulating Sendbird’s security and compliance story (SOC 2, ISO-27001, HIPAA), helping customers build trust from the start

Our take
Sendbird offers APIs to help companies build their own text and video communication features. The company's suite of solutions helps businesses worldwide improve customer retention, conversion, and optimized customer support.
The company has been developing its APIs fast, including adding moderation capabilities - an attractive feature in an age that increasingly prioritizes ‘clean’ online communication. Among its newest set of capabilities is Delight.ai, the first branded AI concierge built on long-term memory.
Its clients include Reddit, Hinge, and DoorDash. They are, however, strategically raising further investment, as the field is competitive even with its impressive client roster and technological instincts, regardless, Sendbird is well positioned within the market to keep ahead of the competition.
