Requirements
  • 2+ years of outbound B2B SaaS sales development experience; enterprise or strategic account experience strongly preferred
  • Proven ability to generate qualified pipeline from cold starts into accounts you've never touched
  • Sharp written and verbal communicator, comfortable engaging senior decision-makers
  • Strong collaborator who builds real working partnerships with Account Directors
  • Resilient, self-directed, and organized across complex, multi-threaded campaigns
  • Fluent with core outbound tooling: Salesforce, a sales engagement platform (SalesLoft or Outreach), LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and data enrichment tools (ZoomInfo, Cognism, or similar). Familiarity with intent data platforms (6sense) and conversation intelligence (Gong) is a plus
  • Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate research, personalization, and productivity
Responsibilities
  • Own outbound strategy and execution against a named enterprise target list
  • Engage across the full buying committee — economic buyers, technical evaluators, and executive sponsors
  • Partner with your Enterprise Account Director on joint account planning and pipeline progression
  • Apply rigorous qualification to every opportunity you create — the right personas, real buying signals, and a clear path to progression through the sales funnel
  • Consistently deliver against quarterly quota targets, pacing your activity with awareness of seasonal buying patterns — summer slowdowns, holiday cycles, and quarter-end compression
  • Maintain clean Salesforce records: account activity, next steps, opportunity linkage
  • Use AI to accelerate research and personalization without sacrificing relevance
  • Stay current on the Atlassian ecosystem, competitive landscape, and Tempo product updates
