Sales Development Representative

Saviynt is an identity authority platform built to power and protect the world at work. In a world of digital transformation, where organizations are faced with increasing cyber risk but cannot afford defensive measures to slow down progress, Saviynt’s Enterprise Identity Cloud gives customers unparalleled visibility, control and intelligence to better defend against threats while empowering users with right-time, right-level access to the digital technologies and tools they need to do their best work.

Saviynt is currently seeking a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to initiate sales cycles for our Sales team in the Western US/ Canada region. SDRs do this by identifying and engaging the appropriate prospect personas across Federal Agencies to inquire into their IGA business and infrastructure challenges, align Saviynt's value propositions to those challenges, and gain the prospects commitment to take a meeting with a Director of Sales to learn more. An SDR's objective is to continuously produce these beginning stages, qualified meetings that convert to the sales pipeline.
