Sales Development Representative (SDR) - US

Chapter 2 • New York, NY

10h • $30,000 - $50,000 • Remote

About The Position

Chapter 2 is one of the fastest-growing embedded talent businesses in the world. We’ve scaled to over 160 people globally in four years. We don’t do contingency. We don’t post CVs. We embed directly into the world’s most ambitious startups and scale-ups — acting as their talent function, building their hiring infrastructure, and delivering results at agency speed with the standards of an internal team.

We’ve built significant traction in Europe, and now we’re building our US business — properly. That means hiring someone to own the pipeline for both coasts: identifying the right companies, engaging the right people, qualifying the right opportunities, and working directly alongside our US co-founder to close.

This is an SDR role, and we want to be upfront about what that means. That OTE reflects our genuine expectation of what a strong performer will earn within their first 12–18 months. The delta between those two numbers is deliberate: this role is built for someone motivated by uncapped earning potential, not a guaranteed salary. If you're looking to build a career in sales from the ground up and earn accordingly, we'd like to hear from you.

Requirements

• You come from an RPO, embedded talent provider, or recruitment agency — Talentful, Paraform, Karat, a boutique exec search firm, or similar. You understand what embedded recruiting actually means, and why companies are choosing it over contingency.
• You’re tapped into the US startup ecosystem. You know how a Series A company thinks about talent, what a Talent OS looks like, and why Heads of Talent choose embedded over traditional agency.
• You know your ICP. Heads of Talent, Senior Talent Managers, Chief People Officers. You understand their challenges, their language, and what makes them sit up and pay attention.
• You use AI extensively. Not as a novelty — as a weapon. Personalized outreach at scale, account intelligence, sequencing automation. This is a competitive advantage we take seriously.
• High agency is your default setting. You don’t wait to be told what to do. You identify the opportunity and you move.
• You’re ambitious and comfortable with risk. The base is low because the upside is real. That framing either excites you or it doesn’t.
• You’re an exceptional communicator — crisp written outreach, confident on calls, able to articulate a complex value proposition simply and fast.
• You handle ambiguity well. We’re building the US business now. There is no established playbook. That’s the opportunity.

Responsibilities

• Own outbound across the East and West Coast — building pipeline into high-growth startups and scale-ups that need embedded talent solutions.
• Identify and engage Heads of Talent, Senior Talent Managers, and Chief People Officers at Series A–D companies. These are your buyers and you need to know how to reach them.
• Qualify rigorously. You’re not just booking meetings, you’re ensuring every conversation that goes to our co-founder is genuinely worth their time.
• Use AI natively across your outreach workflow — from account research and hyper-personalized sequencing to automating admin. You’re expected to be operating at a different level than a standard SDR.
• Build Chapter 2’s presence in the US startup ecosystem. LinkedIn, events, communities — you’ll become a known voice in the embedded talent conversation.
• Develop rapidly. Within 12 months, if the appetite is there, this becomes a full 360 role. You’ll be responsible for opening and closing.
