Sales Development Representative

The Role

Kontakt.io is hiring SDRs to build a more consistent, high-quality pipeline engine into hospital and health system accounts within a complex, enterprise healthcare sales motion. This is not a high-volume, transactional SDR seat it requires thoughtful outbound, strong qualification discipline, and the ability to engage multiple stakeholders across the top health systems in North America.

Winning in these accounts is a function of intelligence, not activity. You'll spend your time understanding how each health system is organized, where the operational and financial pain lives, and which executives across clinical operations, finance, and IT need to be in the room then earn their attention with outreach that shows you actually understand their business.

We're looking for someone early-career but highly coachable, resilient, structured, and genuinely curious about how hospitals operate. You should be comfortable working in a metrics-driven environment while learning to run consultative conversations with senior stakeholders across healthcare organizations.

Note: We're a forward-thinking, cutting-edge team and AI is in our DNA. You'll have access to all the AI tools you need once you're here. But the interview process is your moment to demonstrate critical thinking, originality, and your unique perspective. This is about you not ChatGPT.

What You'll Actually Do

• Prospect into hospital and health system accounts aligned to Kontakt.io's ICP, using thoughtful outbound and timely inbound follow-up.

• Own outbound strategy and execution against a defined set of the top health systems in North America.

• Engage multiple personas in each account (clinical operations, finance, IT often at the VP and C-suite level) and learn how to tailor messaging by role and business problem.

• Craft personalized, insight-led outreach that earns executive attention and opens real conversations.

• Partner closely with Account Executives and Sales leadership to build and execute account plans for priority targets.

• Set and hold quality meetings for AEs, aligned to qualification standards rather than raw volume.

• Maintain clean notes, dispositions, and rigorous account intelligence in Salesforce and SDR tooling.

• Participate in coaching, call reviews, and a structured weekly operating cadence.

Must-Have Profile

• Minimum 1 year of professional experience in SDR/BDR, sales, recruiting, customer-facing, or other high-activity communication roles where persistence and outreach matter.

• Strong written and verbal communication able to sound professional, concise, and credible with senior stakeholders.

• High coachability responds well to feedback, role-play, and skill development without defensiveness.

• Grit and consistency able to handle rejection, ambiguity, and repetitive execution while staying positive and disciplined.

• Comfort with structured processes, CRM hygiene, and activity expectations.

• Strong curiosity and research habits asks thoughtful questions and wants to understand the prospect's business problem, not just recite a script.

Nice-to-Have Profile

• Exposure to healthcare, hospitals, operations, supply chain, clinical workflows, or other regulated environments.

• Familiarity with tools like Salesforce, Gong Engage, ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, or similar SDR tooling.
