About EngageReel
EngageReel helps brands create ad creatives, schedule campaigns, and automatically publish them across social platforms - all powered by AI. It learns from campaign performance, identifies winning ads, and creates new creatives based on what works best.
We're just getting started, and this hire will be the first voice our customers hear.
Why this role exists
This isn't a conventional SDR role sitting at the top of someone else's funnel. Paid campaigns will bring in leads, and you'll be the first person talking to them - not just to qualify and pass them along, but to genuinely understand what they need. At this stage, learning from customers matters almost as much as closing them, because there's no established sales process yet. You'll help build it.
What you’ll own
- Speak with inbound leads from paid campaigns and guide them toward becoming customers.
- Have patient, exploratory conversations to understand what customers actually need, not just what they say they want.
- Identify patterns in customer problems and use cases that keep coming up across conversations.
- Feed what you learn back into the product and marketing teams, so it shapes what we build and how we sell.
- Help the team figure out who our best-fit customers really are.
- Take EngageReel from its first customers toward its first 50–100, building the qualification and outreach process as you go.
Who you are
- You've built from zero before. You've helped an early-stage product grow from its first few customers toward 50–100 - not just worked SDR at a company with an established process.
- You have 2+ years of experience in SDR, founding sales or customer development roles.
- You're a patient, curious listener. You're as comfortable exploring a customer's actual problem as you are pushing toward a close.
- You build the process, you don't wait for one. You've worked in an early-stage or zero-to-one environment, and you're comfortable figuring out what works through trial and error.
Why EngageReel
- Own something real. You'll be part of the founding commercial team, shaping GTM and product from scratch.
- Direct impact. Your conversations will directly define who this product is for.
- Move fast. Decisions here take days, not quarters.
Top 3 must-haves
- Zero-to-one SDR experience - has personally helped an early-stage startup go from its first few customers toward 50–100, not just worked leads in an established funnel.
- Discovery over qualification - strong at exploratory conversations that surface real customer needs, not a scripted qualification call.
- Process-builder - comfortable without a playbook, and has helped shape one before.
