About Specter

At Specter, we exist to replace lagging data with living signals.

When we were on the investing side, every “breaking-news” alert was already stale. By the time a funding round or press release hit our dashboards, the deal was priced, the field was crowded, and the real opportunity was gone.

We started Specter because private markets deserve a live feed, not a rear-view mirror. Our platform tracks leading indicators across companies, people, and investors — the subtle movements that hint at tomorrow’s breakout before anyone writes the headline.

Today, over 300 top VC and PE firms rely on Specter daily to discover opportunities, win allocations earlier, and move with insight instead of inertia.

The Role

We’re hiring our first ever SDR — the Founding SDR — to build the foundation of our Go-To-Market engine. This is not a typical SDR role where you step into a rigid process. At Specter, you’ll help design the playbook, shape our outreach strategy, and directly influence how sales is done.

You’ll work side by side with the founders, reaching out to senior investors and operators, and laying the groundwork for how we scale our sales motion. Every new lead, every meeting you book, will have a direct and visible impact on the business.

This is a rare opportunity: to join early, build from scratch, and grow into senior sales roles as Specter scales.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Build and own the top of the sales funnel — prospecting, outreach, and qualifying leads into opportunities.
• Work directly with the founders to shape messaging, outreach strategy, and the first sales playbooks.
• Experiment and adapt quickly — no rigid playbooks; your creativity and ideas will directly influence how we do sales.
• Craft personalized outreach that resonates with VC, PE, and technology decision-makers.
• Play an integral role in our growth — every new conversation you create will be a big win that moves the business forward.
• Grow with the company — as the Founding SDR, you’ll have a clear path into Account Executive or sales leadership roles as we scale.

Who You Are

• Curious — you want to understand how investors think and how data drives decisions.
• Accountable — you take ownership of your goals and consistently deliver.
• Resilient — you’re energized by challenges, persistent in the face of rejection, and keep pushing forward.
• Creative — you think beyond templates, crafting outreach that stands out.
• Ambitious — you see this as a stepping stone into a long-term career in sales and want to grow fast.

Requirements

• 1–4 years of experience in sales development, outbound prospecting, or a similar commercial role.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable engaging with senior decision-makers.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage a pipeline.
• Entrepreneurial mindset — resourceful, adaptable, and excited to build from scratch.
• Bonus: experience in SaaS, data, or financial services.

Why This Role Matters ⭐

Every deal starts with a conversation. As our Founding SDR, you’ll be the one creating those conversations with some of the world’s top investors. You won’t just follow a process — you’ll help invent it.

This role is the launchpad for a long-term career in sales at Specter, with clear opportunities to grow into Account Executive or sales leadership as we scale.

What We Value

• No Fluff — we move fast and stay pragmatic.
• Speed — we act quickly, learn, and adapt.
• Frugality — we build smart and scale responsibly.
• Accountability — we take ownership and deliver.
