You'll talk to founders every day, build real fluency in business banking* and the broader finance stack, and see how a high-growth company turns pipeline into revenue. We put a lot of effort into helping our SDRs grow, with hands-on coaching, clear expectations, and a defined path to what's next. If you're ambitious, coachable, and excited to build a career in tech sales or beyond, this is a place to start and a place to stay.
