Overview
At Verkada, our business development is different. We lean heavily on data- and analytics-driven metrics to develop and implement consistent, effective lead generation through automated programs— including much of cold outbounding that you, as a Verkada, MDR will execute.

At Verkada, we want to attract and retain the best employees and compensate them in a way that appropriately and fairly values their individual contribution to the company.

For this role, the pay range will fall in the range of approximately $40,000 - 55,000 Base. This estimate can vary based on the factors described above, so the actual starting annual base salary may be above or below this range.
