The Company

Wistia is not your average B2B SaaS company.

We’re a leading video platform for businesses that want to better create, customize, host, share, and analyze the videos that power more human connections with their prospects, customers, and employees. We serve companies small and large, and teams ranging from marketing and sales to support and HR.

We’re growing fast, even though we’ve been around since 2006. We unabashedly enjoy the fun culture and nimbleness typical of a tech startup, but we’re profitable and have chosen to raise only seed money, so we have the luxury of being able to focus our investments on whatever we think will best serve the long-term value of the company.

The Position

As a SDR at Wistia, you’ll report to the Sales Development Manager and will be responsible for calling and emailing all of the warm leads we receive on a daily basis. Your days will be filled with energetic outreach to prospects to understand their requirements, hopes, and dreams for creating a successful video strategy for their company. Once you’ve engaged, excited, and delighted the prospect, you’ll transition them to our Account Executives. From there, they’lll work with them to design a personalized plan based off all the information you’ve gathered.
