What the job involves
- As a Sales Development Representative at AppZen, you will be responsible for identifying, researching, and engaging with businesses and typically their finance decision-makers

- Month 3: On a full quota (4 demo meetings), your process is up and you are generating pipeline and booking meetings
Salary benchmarks
Our take
AppZen is setting out to help companies streamline the expensive and time-consuming process of auditing expense reports with its suite of smart AI tools. As its AI solution is also more accurate than manual finance processes, it significantly reduces human error, which can lead to duplicate spending or overlooked instances of fraud.
Boasting an 80% reduction in processing times and a 5% reduction in total spend, AppZen has swiftly established itself as a leader in AI finance software. It is used by over a thousand finance teams in enterprises such as Amazon, Nvidia, and Salesforce.
AppZen faces a large number of competitors in the finance automation space, with startups such as Expensify and Spendesk operating in the sector, along with industry stalwarts such as SAP developing their own solutions. However, Appzen has carved out a strong early lead and has a large and rapidly growing client base. It's achieved impressive funding too, with its $180 million 2025 round being used for strategic growth and the large-scale deployment of its Mastermind AI Studio and AI Agents.
