About This Role
As an Enterprise Sales Development Representative at RoadRunner, you'll spearhead outreach to high-level decision-makers (Directors, VPs, CEOs) at large national companies using multi-channel strategies to demonstrate how RoadRunner's technology reduces costs and improves sustainability. You'll partner closely with Enterprise Account Executives to target major accounts, map complex buying committees, and build the pipeline for transformative waste management deals. This role directly fuels the company's mission by owning the top of the funnel for their most significant enterprise opportunities.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves researching target accounts using ZoomInfo and LinkedIn Navigator, crafting personalized outreach sequences for directors and VPs at large national companies, and conducting discovery calls to uncover waste management pain points. You'll collaborate with Enterprise AEs to strategize on account approaches, update Salesforce with detailed notes and next steps, and analyze Gong recordings to refine your messaging. Between outreach blocks, you'll stay current on sustainability trends and RoadRunner's technology updates to better articulate value propositions.
