Job Description
Want to start your sales career with structure, support and real responsibility from day one? Convey’s Emerging Talent Program is a six-month development experience for early-career professionals. You’ll join as a Sales Development Representative on our Enterprise and Mid-Market team and start the first conversation with utilities that have never worked with Convey. You’ll own outbound prospecting end to end and hand qualified meetings to our Account Executives.
You’ll also join a cohort of early-career hires across Convey. Together you’ll learn from company leaders, build a network beyond your team and lead a project that improves how we find and win new customers.
We’re hiring two SDRs into this cohort. One will focus on Enterprise Investor-Owned Utilities, and the other will focus on Municipal Utilities and Co-Operatives. This is a new-logo role with no account management and no inbound queue. It’s based on-site in our Denver office five days a week.
What you'll do
Run daily outbound across phone, email, LinkedIn and events to book qualified first meetings with utility decision-makers
Research assigned accounts, spot buying triggers and tailor outreach to each utility's priorities
Build relationships with multiple stakeholders across customer service, billing, communications and IT
Qualify interest and hand well-documented opportunities to Account Executives
Keep Salesforce accurate and current, including activity, notes and next steps
Use sales engagement and buying-signal tools to prioritize accounts and sharpen your sequences
Work with your Account Executive on target lists, messaging and event follow-up
Hit weekly and monthly targets for activity, qualified meetings booked and pipeline created
Your Emerging Talent experience
For your first six months, the program runs alongside your SDR work:
Start strong. Before your first day, you’ll meet with your manager to set goals for Days 30 through 180. In your first week, you’ll go through onboarding, meet your team and have lunch with your cohort.
Learn from Convey leaders. Each month, you’ll join your cohort for the Foundations Series. Sessions cover succeeding in your first professional role, building your network and making an impact. You’ll also meet our CEO.
Lead an ET Impact Project. You’ll find a real opportunity to improve something in Sales, such as prospecting workflows, messaging or account research. You’ll plan and run the project with stakeholders, then present your results to Convey leaders at the ET Impact Showcase.
Grow with a cohort. You’ll build relationships with peers starting their careers in other teams across Convey.
What you bring
Bachelor's degree preferred, or equivalent experience
0 to 2 years of experience in sales, business development or another customer-facing role; internships count
Strong written and verbal communication; you write clearly and sound confident on the phone
Resilience and discipline, including treating rejection as data and keeping your pace
Curiosity about utilities, energy or regulated industries; prior exposure is a plus, not a requirement
Comfort with Salesforce or another CRM, or the ability to learn one quickly
Ability to work on-site in our Denver office five days a week
What success looks like
You'll book qualified meetings that turn into real opportunities. In your first 90 days, you'll ramp up on our products, our buyers and our outbound process. By the end of six months, you'll have completed the Emerging Talent Program and presented your ET Impact Project to Convey leaders. Strong performers have a clear path to Account Executive.
