Sales Development Representative, US

Who are we?
We are a female-founded scale-up, currently made up of around 100 AltoVitians. Our fully-remote team hails from 26 different countries and collectively speaks 29 languages. Most of the time, it is our differences that are celebrated (whether they are in cultures, personalities, preferences or passions). However, despite those differences, there are a few principal attributes that we share which define an AltoVitian. AltoVitians are tenacious, humble, and thoughtful. Being humble is important because it enables us to keep learning every day, and tenacity is necessary because in a high performing environment as fast-paced as AltoVita, taking it slow is simply not an option!

As we look to scale our Global Commercial engine, today is a particularly exciting time to join our team. This next chapter won’t always be a smooth ride, but it will be filled with innovation, excitement and opportunities. If you are ambitious, commercially hungry and ready for the challenge (and the fun!) of growing with us, we would love to hear from you.

AltoVita’s technology provides a cloud-based bridge between the highly fragmented property distribution system and multinational Global 2000 companies.
