- In this role, you will work closely with our current SDRs to uplevel their current skill set and continue honing their prospecting skills
- You will have an opportunity to help define and identify Planful's best prospects, from directors at mid-sized companies to C-level Fortune 500 executives.
- Your mission will be to develop, train and hire highly driven SDRs, and help them understand how to connect with prospects, establish rapport, and —most important—articulate Planful’s value proposition in a clear and convincing manner.
- The knowledge you disseminate as your team interacts with prospects will be foundational to improving Planful’s product, value statement, market positioning, and revenue structure

- Employ a consultative approach in assessing clients’ needs and developing an understanding of the challenges faced by their business
Our take
Planful is driven by the conviction that continuous planning elevates the financial IQ of all parties involved. It rebranded in 2020 from 'Host Analytics' to reflect this fundamental focus on continuous planning being central to Planful's identity.
Currently, most financial institutions only have quarterly or even annual planning reviews, meaning they have to rely on outdated budget projections & financial metrics so they lag behind the curve. Planful sets itself apart through helping clients to use monthly, weekly, or more frequent cycles. This means businesses can adapt and innovate rapidly in response to events and help drive financial innovation.
Planful’s cloud financial planning and analysis solutions stand out as it delivers 90% reduced reporting time, and up to 75% reduced average time to close. This approach has led to Planful being trusted by hundreds of big-name brands, including Five Guys, Evernote, Boston Red Sox, Robinhood, and TGI Fridays, as well as hundreds of thousands of users across the world.
