Sales Development Representative (Remote)

Location:  Remote

Work anywhere in the US, must live in the US

Want to help build the future of professional education? Strap in.

We're not hiring someone to fill a seat. We're looking for a builder — someone who wakes up curious, gets energized by a good conversation, and actually likes talking to strangers on the internet (professionally, of course). Your job: find the right people, start the right conversations, and open the door for our Sales team to walk through.

This position reports to Sales leadership and works closely with Marketing and Revenue Operations.

ABOUT CONTINUED

A leader in online professional education, Continu ed is on a mission to empower professionals, enhance careers, and strengthen teams across the country. We move fast, we laugh a lot, and we genuinely care about the work we do. We're not the kind of company that measures success in buzzwords — we measure it in real outcomes for real people.

We're a fully remote team scattered across every time zone in the US — tight-knit, curious, and addicted to solving problems. And we've got the receipts:

• Certified Great Place to Work®
• #35 in Fortune's 2025 Best Medium Workplaces
• #18 in Fortune's 2025 Top 25 Small & Medium Workplaces for Women
• #74 in Fortune's 2024 Best Small & Medium Workplaces for Millennials
