The Securly safetyOS™ keeps 20M+ students safe across 20,000+ schools and is credited with helping save 2,400+ student lives, and every district we reach starts with a conversation a BDR opened. If you love the phone, thrive on activity, and want work that matters, this is the role.

Why you'll love this role

• Real impact: you'll connect schools with the platform that keeps their students safe online, in class, and in the halls
• A real ramp: structured onboarding and weekly coaching, built for experienced SDRs and career-changers alike

• Fully remote: work from anywhere in the U.S. with a team that's 82% engaged

The role

You'll own the top of our sales funnel: finding, qualifying, and starting conversations with school districts through cold calls, email, and LinkedIn. You'll introduce district leaders to the Securly safetyOS™, the gold standard for K-12 digital safety and critical IT infrastructure, and hand qualified opportunities to our Account Executives.

• Handle objections: listen first and tailor each conversation to what the district cares about
• Keep it clean: track your work in Salesforce and Outreach.io, using GovSpend and AI Gems for research
• Hand off well: pass qualified meetings to Sales smoothly, in partnership with Marketing and RevOps
• Keep improving: use coaching, data, and your peers to get sharper every week

Who we're looking for

Great backgrounds for this role include:

• Early-career sales: you've worked as an SDR/BDR or in another high-activity outbound role and want to grow in K-12 EdTech. SaaS or EdTech experience is preferred.
• K-12 educators moving into sales: you're a teacher or school staff member who wants to learn sales and has done sales or sales-like work, ideally with high-volume phone outreach.

Whatever your background, you'll bring:

• Comfort with high-volume phone calls and outreach, and the drive to keep going after a no
• Active listening and the ability to ask good questions to engage and qualify prospects
• The organization to manage a daily cadence and keep clean records (Salesforce and Outreach.io experience is a plus)
• Curiosity to research prospects and personalize your outreach
• K-12 education and/or EdTech experience, strongly preferred

What sets you apart:

• Mission: a passion for student safety and wellness

A realistic look at the job

This is a high-volume, phone-first role. Most days are a steady rhythm of calls, emails, and LinkedIn touches, and many of those won't connect or will end in a no. The reps who thrive here treat that as part of the game, track their numbers, and use coaching to get a little sharper every week. When it clicks, you're booking meetings with district leaders who make decisions about keeping students safe.

This role is fully remote and U.S.-based, No Travel, not offering Visa sponsorship
