Who We Are

Sales Development Role for Student-Athletes

Full-Time | Open to Graduates & Recent Grads
Locations: San Mateo, CA | Austin, TX | Tampa, FL | Phoenix, AZ | New York, NY | Salt Lake City, UT

This opportunity is only for current or former collegiate student-athletes.

We’re looking for student-athletes to join our Sales Development Program, where you'll gain the skills to kickstart a long-term career in tech sales. Many of our top performers—and even our VP of Sales Development—come from collegiate sports backgrounds. We've built a team that thrives on competition, teamwork, and grit, and this program is designed to help athletes like you make a strong transition from the field to a fast-paced sales floor.

What You'll Do

• Start your career in tech sales with structured training and real coaching


• Learn how to prospect, cold call, and book meetings with business leaders


• Work closely with Account Executives and Sales Leaders to grow your skills


• Compete and thrive in a high-energy, team-oriented environment


• Get promoted to Account Executive in as little as 6–12 months based on performance

What You Bring

• Collegiate athletic experience (all divisions welcome!)


• A competitive spirit and strong work ethic


• Desire to grow, be coached, and win


• No sales experience required—just the athlete mindset


• Must be willing and able to work onsite five days per week

This is more than a job—it’s your next team.
