What you'll do
As a Sales Development Representative (SDR) at Stripe, you'll work in a customer-facing role focused on connecting prospective customers with Stripe. You'll work in partnership with the Marketing and Sales teams to create a high-quality, predictable pipeline. We hire and train SDRs in a way that prepares them to be a high-performing source of talent for Stripe Sales and Go-to-Market teams.
For the first few months, you'll be a part of our Sales Development Associate program, which is designed to accelerate onboarding and support new grads' transition into their first roles in a corporate setting. Part of this period will be supported by the Sales Development Academy which will help you quickly build and develop the foundational skills required to be successful in this role and position you for a long-term career in Sales at Stripe. Through a mix of virtual sessions, in-person practicums, and checkpoint quizzes, you'll learn all about Stripe's products and how to be a successful SDR. During this period, you'll also be partnered with a senior SDR on the team as a mentor. Along with your manager, your mentor will be there as an additional resource to help support you.
