Sales Development Representative

Role Overview

Inspira Education Group is a fast-growing edtech startup seeking a Sales Development Representative to focus on building out the talent pipeline, working closely with founders to identify and bring on people for key roles across the company. This role applies SDR-style prospecting and outreach skills to talent acquisition rather than sales prospects.

What You Will Do

Work directly with founders to build and maintain a candidate pipeline for open roles. Research and identify prospective candidates using LinkedIn and other sourcing tools, write personalized outreach messaging, track pipeline activity in the ATS, and help refine the sourcing approach. Take on ad hoc projects with founders as priorities shift.

Why It Might Be a Fit

Ideal for someone early in their career with 1-3 years of SDR or comparable outbound/prospecting experience who is high-energy, eager to learn, and wants more responsibility than a typical SDR role. Requires strong written communication, comfort with high-volume outreach, and excitement to work closely with founders. The role requires in-office attendance 5 days a week in NYC (Gramercy).

Requirements

• 1–3 years of experience as an SDR or in a comparable outbound/prospecting role
• High energy, strong work ethic, and a genuine willingness to learn a new skill set outside the traditional SDR path
• Comfortable with high-volume outreach and consistent follow-up
• Strong written communication – can write a compelling, personalized message quickly
• Organized and detail-oriented; able to manage a large, active pipeline without things falling through the cracks
• Excited to work closely with founders and take on real responsibility early in your career

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance, base plans 100% employer paid
• Pre-tax benefits (FSA, DCFSA, HSA, Commuter)
• Flexible paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays
• 401(k) with company match
