The position

Job description

  • Most sales calls sell software. Yours will help protect students. The Securly safetyOS™ keeps 20M+ students safe across 20,000+ schools and is credited with helping save 2,400+ student lives, and every district we reach starts with a conversation a BDR opened. If you love the phone, thrive on activity, and want work that matters, this is the role
  • Real impact: you’ll connect schools with the platform that keeps their students safe online, in class, and in the halls
  • A real ramp: structured onboarding and weekly coaching, built for experienced SDRs and career-changers alike
  • Room to grow: we promote from within, and many of our Sales, Customer Success, and GTM leaders started as BDRs
  • Strong pay and benefits: $90,000 OTE, top-tier health coverage, unlimited PTO, and a $1,000 learning stipend
  • Fully remote: work from anywhere in the U.S. with a team that’s 82% engaged
  • You’ll own the top of our sales funnel: finding, qualifying, and starting conversations with school districts through cold calls, email, and LinkedIn. You’ll introduce district leaders to the Securly safetyOS™, the gold standard for K-12 digital safety and critical IT infrastructure, and hand qualified opportunities to our Account Executives
  • You’ll report to the Director of Business Development and work closely with Account Executives, Marketing, and RevOps
  • Reach out: run high-volume, multi-touch outreach by phone, email, and LinkedIn to K-12 decision-makers
  • Qualify: assess inbound and outbound leads for interest, urgency, and fit
  • Tell the story: share outcomes, customer stories, and market data that show why safetyOS matters
  • Handle objections: listen first and tailor each conversation to what the district cares about
  • Keep it clean: track your work in Salesforce and Outreach.io, using GovSpend and AI Gems for research
  • Hand off well: pass qualified meetings to Sales smoothly, in partnership with Marketing and RevOps
  • Keep improving: use coaching, data, and your peers to get sharper every week
  • You’ll get a structured ramp with coaching at every stage. The milestones below show what the work typically looks like as you build up
  • First 30 days
  • Learn the Securly safetyOS™, who we sell to, and how we talk about it, with hands-on coaching
  • Start daily outreach: typically 50–100 calls and 50–200 emails
  • Research your territory and add new prospects to Salesforce every week
  • Days 60–90
  • Hold 10–25+ meaningful conversations a week with K-12 decision-makers, such as Directors of Technology, IT leaders, superintendents, and district and school administrators
  • Book qualified meetings consistently each month as your pipeline builds
  • Create 8–15+ new sales opportunities a month
  • By the 6-month mark
  • Run and sharpen outbound prospecting across phone, email, and LinkedIn
  • Use coaching, peer feedback, and your own metrics to keep improving
  • 12 months
  • Consistently meet or exceed your pipeline ($) and quota goals
  • Share what works and help onboard new BDRs
  • Start mapping your next step toward AE or another role in Sales, Customer Success, or adjacent teams
  • Milestones are typical examples, not fixed requirements. Specific goals are set by your manager and may change based on territory, season, and business needs

Preferred experience

  • Early-career sales: you’ve worked as an SDR/BDR or in another high-activity outbound role and want to grow in K-12 EdTech. SaaS or EdTech experience is preferred
  • K-12 educators moving into sales: you’re a teacher or school staff member who wants to learn sales and has done sales or sales-like work, ideally with high-volume phone outreach
  • K-12 education and/or EdTech experience, strongly preferred
  • Curiosity to research prospects and personalize your outreach
  • Comfort with high-volume phone calls and outreach, and the drive to keep going after a no
