About The Position

Sage is building its Sales Development function from the ground up and is looking for one of the first two SDRs to lay the foundation. This role is an opportunity to help define the sales motion, shape the outbound engine, and influence how a high-growth enterprise hardware + SaaS business in the senior living market is scaled.

Experience prospecting into multi-stakeholder environments or regulated/operationally complex industries (healthcare, education, logistics, etc.)
Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can craft clear, compelling messaging and hold confident conversations with director- and VP-level leaders.
Comfortable balancing both inbound and outbound workstreams.
Familiarity with CRM systems (Hubspot preferred) and sales engagement tools.
