Field SDR - Events (Chicago)

Blinq Field SDR

Blinq is the AI contacts app for people who meet people. We're on a mission to unlock the world's relationship potential. So much of what's possible in the world is locked inside relationships that never quite happen. A missed conversation, a forgotten follow-up, the right person at the wrong time. We're building so those chances aren't left to chance.

What started as the world's #1 digital business card is now used by 4 million professionals and at 93% of the Fortune 500. We've raised $45m+ from Blackbird, Square Peg, HubSpot Ventures, and Touring Capital.

Our Growth team is where sales, marketing, and growth strategy collide to supercharge Blinq's reach. We bring our story to life for customers, partners, and the broader market - showing them how a single "card share" can launch a lasting relationship. If you're passionate about connecting big ideas to the people who need them most, this is your place to shine.

You'll be the face of Blinq at key events. You'll own how we show up, who we meet, and what happens next. As our first Field SDR, you'll lead the real-world connection layer: planning every move, sparking high-intent conversations in person, and turning first hellos into real pipeline. Every event is your stage to make sure Blinq is remembered and followed up on.
