Sales Development Representative (Remote)

About 8fundraising

8fundraising is a Top 100 Business publication on Substack that helps founders, fund managers, and real estate sponsors run capital raises with AI-driven systems. We combine 8Raise, our investor discovery platform, and 8MKT, our AI marketing engine, into one system that powers capital raises for founders, fund managers, and sponsors.

About the role

We're hiring our first SDR, part-time to start, fully remote, with base salary plus uncapped commission. You won't start from zero. We already have a pipeline of founders and fund managers ready to jump on a call with you.

The role runs on two motions. We hand you warm prospects who already want to talk, and we give you the content and the ideas to grow your own, so your pipeline keeps building. The model is proven: from content alone, we've booked over 250 calls in 20 days.

You own the top of the funnel. You put the content out, build presence around the brand, and take the first calls with the people who respond. You're the first voice they hear from 8fundraising, and the reason they want a second call.

What you'll do

• Take calls from the existing pipeline we hand you
• Create content around the brand and its topics → we provide the ideas and the approach we use to bring in new interest
• Run the call end to end and manage the account from start to finish
• Close them and become their account manager → the client is yours
• Keep the pipeline updated at all times

What we're looking for

• Fluent English, spoken and written → full professional proficiency (additional languages a plus)
• 5+ years in sales, ideally in an SDR, BDR, or outbound role
• Comfortable on calls → you can hold a real conversation with a founder or a fund manager and earn the next step
• Strong writing → you'll be creating posts, so clear, sharp writing matters
• Real AI fluency → you already use AI tools every day and know how to get results from them
• Self-starter → remote means remote; we measure outcomes, not hours
• Bonus if you understand venture, private capital, or any side of a fundraise (not required, and learnable)

What we offer

• Part-time to start, with room to grow into full-time as we scale
• Base salary plus uncapped commission on every deal that closes from the pipeline
• Fully remote → work from anywhere
• Real ownership → you're the first SDR, and you'll help shape how we sell
