About

FitMate is the lifestyle layer for weight loss that makes GLP-1 treatment work - and delivers on its own without it. Every member gets a dedicated 1:1 certified coach across both nutrition and strength, made affordable by AI that watches every meal and every workout, so the coach steps in the day someone drifts rather than at the next session.

It's the founder's 2nd startup mixing human and AI to make human services more accessible (first one sold post-Series A).

We're funded and trusted by clients, medical providers and employee benefits platforms.

We're looking for a Founding SDR Lead to own outbound end-to-end, working closely with the founder: build the system, fill the pipeline, book the meetings, and chase every one of them through to a decision.

Everyone who pays for weight loss and isn't getting the results.

Our buyers all have a version of the same problem: they're funding GLP-1 drugs and weight-loss benefits, and the spend is outrunning the outcome, including:

• Self-insured employers 
• Benefits brokers, consultants and TPAs 
• Employee benefits and lifestyle-spending platforms 
• Direct primary care and risk-bearing provider groups

Build the machine, then run it.

• Write and run multi-channel sequences — email, LinkedIn, and SMS for event and opted-in follow-up — personalized from real account signals.
• Cold-call leads
• Book qualified meetings
• Work the pipeline so deals keep moving — a planned next touchpoint on every open conversation, re-engagement for anything that's gone quiet, nothing untouched and nothing forgotten.
• Build the marketing plan that keeps leads warm between conversations — a newsletter, LinkedIn posts, the occasional genuinely useful thing.

Requirements

You've built the machine before, not just worked it.

• You've done SDR at a startup for 2+ years and built the system yourself, rather than inheriting one someone else ran.
• You know your numbers cold — reply rate, positive-reply rate, meetings booked and held.
• You need to be completely AI-native. If that isn't already how you work, this isn't the job.
• You are relentless about follow-through. A booked meeting that no-shows gets rebooked; a stalled deal gets a reason, not a shrug.
• You're comfortable picking up the phone, and doing the manual work that doesn't scale — calling leads, liking and commenting on a prospect's LinkedIn posts one at a time, chasing an intro — when that's what moves a deal forward.
• You're early in your career and want a founding seat rather than a rung on a ladder — comfortable with no manager, no support staff and no playbook.
• You're motivated by our mission in health, behavior change and human support.

Bonus if you have

• Sold into HR, employee benefits, health plans or healthcare — you know what a TPA, a stop-loss carrier and a self-funded plan are.
• Worked a conference-driven pipeline end-to-end.
• Closed deals yourself, not only booked them.
• Built your own automations — Zapier, n8n, scripts — to remove your manual work.

The tools you'll own from day one.

• Email: Instantly / Smartlead, secondary domains, warmup, SPF / DKIM / DMARC, deliverability monitoring.
• Social: LinkedIn automation — HeyReach, Expandi or your preferred equivalent.
• Messaging: SMS and WhatsApp for event and opted-in follow-up.
• Pipeline: CRM ownership, and reporting the founder actually trusts.
• AI: Claude and LLM-driven research, personalization and call prep — used with judgment, not on autopilot.

Benefits

Competitive base + uncapped commission.
