Sales Development Representative

Sales Development Representative (SDR) – Outbound Sales & Lead Generation

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote

About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to drive pipeline growth through outbound prospecting, lead generation, and appointment setting.

If you’re confident in outbound sales, resilient in the face of rejection, and motivated by performance targets, this role is a strong fit.

What Happens After You Apply

After submitting your application, you’ll receive an email invitation from Spark Hire to record a short 3–5 minute Intro Video. This is the first step in our hiring process and can be completed whenever it’s convenient for you.

Instead of multiple initial screening calls, you’ll have one opportunity to introduce yourself, discuss your experience with outbound prospecting, cold calling, email outreach, lead generation, CRM management, and appointment setting. You’ll also have the opportunity to highlight your sales achievements, approach to handling objections, and how you’ve used AI tools to improve productivity or outreach. Your video will be reviewed by the hiring team before moving to the client interview.

You can record your video as many times as you’d like before submitting it—only your final version will be reviewed.

Please keep an eye on both your inbox and spam folder for your Spark Hire invitation after applying.
