Role Summary

Our mission at HubSpot is to help millions of organizations grow better.

As a member of HubSpot's Sales Development organization, you'll be part of a team that owns early pipeline creation in HubSpot's downmarket sales motion. Depending on business need, new SDR hires may begin in an inbound chat motion — handling real-time chat qualification — before transitioning into the outbound SDR role described below.

Through thoughtful qualification conversations, you'll determine whether an opportunity is a strong fit, create qualified pipeline for the Small Business Sales team, and ensure every meeting you book is positioned for success. Moreover, you'll support the entire Small Business Sales organization through a 1:many qualification model. Rather than partnering with a single seller, you'll create qualified pipeline for the broader sales team, making consistent judgment and qualification quality critical to scaling customer growth.

This role is designed for individuals who want to build a long-term career in sales through measurable business impact and continuous development.

What You'll Do

1. Start in an inbound chat motion if assigned based on business need, handling real-time chat-based qualification conversations before transitioning into the full outbound SDR role
2. Own your pipeline by managing your queue, prioritizing high-intent opportunities, and consistently meeting or exceeding performance goals.
3. Evaluate inbound buying signals to distinguish genuine purchase intent from early research or low-fit demand using sound business judgment.
4. Engage prospective customers through high-quality phone conversations to understand their goals, challenges, and whether HubSpot is the right solution.
5. Create qualified pipeline by scheduling meetings, documenting complete qualification context in the CRM, and setting clear expectations for both customers and sellers.
6. Support the Small Business Sales organization by delivering high-quality opportunities that enable Account Executives to focus on closing.
7. Maintain strong work rate and responsiveness by working prioritized demand within established service level agreements (SLAs).
8. Leverage AI-powered prioritization and sales tooling to improve efficiency while applying human judgment to every qualification decision.
9. Continuously apply coaching, feedback, and performance insights to improve qualification quality, conversion, and pipeline value.

What You'll Bring
