We’re looking for a Sales Development Representative (SDR) whose focus is booking high-quality meetings with senior decision-makers at universities.

A role that is about creating conversations that matter.

• Book qualified meetings with: Directors of Housing, Deans of Students

• Research institutions and tailor outreach to their specific context

• Follow up persistently and professionally in long decision cycles

• Collaborate closely with founders and sales leadership to refine messaging

• Keep CRM and pipeline data clean and structured

Your output is simple and measurable: qualified meetings with the right people at the right institutions.

• A consistently full calendar with high-quality, relevant meetings

• Strong conversion from outreach → meeting

Who You Are

• 2–5 years of experience in B2B outbound sales or SDR roles

• Proven ability to book meetings through cold outreach

• Comfortable reaching out to senior stakeholders

• Self-directed and accountable for your numbers

Nice to have (but not required):

• Experience selling solutions with long sales cycles

This Role Is Not for You If You…

• Compensation: Base + commission tied to meetings booked

Why Join Coly?

• Work on a product with a real mission in higher education
