The posting, in LaunchDarkly's own words
archived Oct 16, 2026About the Job:
LaunchDarkly is looking for an experienced, self-directed Sales Development Representative to own the first stage of engagement across North America. You will manage and qualify inbound leads, event MQLs, and accounts showing meaningful engagement through our account-based programs. This is not a purely reactive lead-response role. You will combine fast, consultative follow-up with thoughtful, proactive outreach to turn customer interest and buying signals into qualified meetings and pipeline.
Responsibilities:
Act as the first point of contact for prospective customers across North America, creating a fast, thoughtful, and credible first impression. Respond rapidly to high-intent inbound inquiries, including demo requests, pricing requests, trials, contact forms, and other hand-raisers. Own follow-up for event leads, adapting outreach based on the person, account, and engagement history. Research and proactively engage targeted accounts that show meaningful engagement and buying intent. Convert qualified interest into sales-ready meetings and opportunities for Account Executives. Execute coordinated outreach across phone, email, LinkedIn, and other approved channels. Maintain complete, accurate, and timely activity, qualification notes, and account context in Salesforce. Partner closely with North American Account Executives, Marketing, Revenue Operations, and the global SDR organization to improve lead quality, routing, messaging, and conversion. Share patterns and feedback from prospects so the broader team can improve campaigns, events, content, and the customer journey.
