Description
ABOUT RUNDOO ℹ️
Our mission is to empower independent supply stores with best-in-class technology. Think of your local hardware store or mom-and-pop nursery—these are our clients. From paint to lumber to flooring, over 200,000 such stores across the country sell over $1T of building materials annually using outdated, on-premises systems. We’re aiming to help them modernize so that they can continue to thrive.
Backed by leading investors including Bessemer and CRV, we've raised $18M across three rounds and are growing quickly. Our team is made up of builders, sellers, and industry veterans with a shared goal: to bring modern technology to an overlooked industry.
ABOUT THE ROLE 💼
As an SDR at Rundoo, you'll own the top of our funnel, running outbound calls and emails to independent paint, hardware, and farm & feed stores across the country, booking qualified demos, and creating the pipeline that powers our growth. We're looking for doers: people who pick up the phone and want to build a real career in sales. We care deeply about promoting from within, so we've built a structured track that gets you from SDR to closing AE in about 9 months through Rundoo U, our 26-week training program built specifically to turn SDRs into top-performing AEs.
