Sales Development Representative

At Gradient Labs, we're building the AI customer operations platform for financial services.

Founded in 2023, we now work with some of the biggest names in banking and fintech. Our platform runs specialist agents, purpose-built for financial services, to eliminate manual work across customer support and back-office operations. Together, they give product and operations teams the visibility and control to trust every outcome.

We're a team of builders from companies like Monzo, Wise, Mastercard, Revolut and Google. If you're excited to tackle some of the hardest problems in AI and help shape the future of customer operations, we'd love to hear from you.

🎯 How you’ll make an impact

As a Sales Development Representative, you'll play a critical role in driving market expansion in the Americas/Europe. You'll lay the foundation for our sales motion by engaging with prospects across the financial services sector, helping them understand the value of our AI agent through creative, well-researched, and highly personalised outreach.

• Strategic account targeting: partner with Enterprise AEs to prioritise high-conviction accounts across banking, fintech, lending, and insurance.
• Multi-channel prospecting: generate pipeline through cold calling, personalised email, and LinkedIn outreach that lands with C-level buyers.
• AI-powered workflows: operate and tune tools for research, enrichment, sequencing, and signal monitoring so your time goes to the highest-value interactions.
• First impressions: act as the first human touch from Gradient Labs, representing us as a trusted advisor from the opening message.
• Product and market expertise: build real depth in our product, the financial services market, and where AI in customer operations is heading.
• Cross-functional impact: feed sharp field signal back to Marketing, Sales Ops, and Product to compound targeting, messaging, and conversion.
• The craft of sales: develop the skills that take you from BDR to top-performing AE, from discovery to objection handling to stakeholder mapping.

• Entrepreneurship: you're a self-starter who would rather build the playbook than wait for one.
• Genuine curiosity: you ask insightful questions, listen well, and stay close to the AI category and the financial services market.
