Sales Development Representative (SDR) – APAC Specialist

At Ready Talent, we don’t just "outsource"—we embed best-in-class sales and marketing professionals directly into our clients’ teams to forge genuine strategic partnerships. We are looking for an APAC specialist who understands how to navigate the diverse business landscapes of Australia, New Zealand, and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

The Role

We are searching for a tenacious, sales-focused, and results-driven SDR to lead outbound efforts within the APAC market. You will be responsible for driving high-quality lead generation and ensuring our commercial team’s pipelines are consistently primed with qualified opportunities.

This role requires a "hunter" mindset. You’ll use our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) to research and connect with key decision-makers via cold calling, social selling, and tailored emailing. As a forward-thinking organization, we lean heavily into AI-driven workflows to give our team a competitive edge.

Who You Are

• Resilient & Proactive: You have a genuine "can-do" attitude. You aren't phased by a "no"—you see it as an opportunity to refine your approach and find a better way in.
• A Future Leader: You have a deep desire to master Enterprise SaaS sales and the grit to become a consistent high-achiever.
• Agile & Adaptive: You’re a problem solver who hates the phrase "that’s how we’ve always done it." You’re constantly looking for ways to increase your impact through new tools and strategies.
• Tech-Literate: You are comfortable with a modern sales stack, including Salesforce, ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Outreach, and the latest AI productivity tools.
• APAC Market Savvy: You understand the cultural nuances of doing business in Australia and the broader APAC region—knowing when to be direct and when to focus on long-term relationship building.

What You’ll Do

• Outbound Prospecting: Execute high-volume outbound activity (80-100 touchpoints daily) across phone, LinkedIn, and email.
• Strategic Research: Navigate complex company structures to identify the right decision-makers and get past gatekeepers.
• Relationship Building: Qualify leads effectively, ensuring every prospect you pass through is a genuine fit for our clients' goals.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Marketing and Commercial teams to ensure messaging is sharp, local, and aligned with client strategy.
• AI Integration: Actively use and experiment with AI tools to optimize your prospecting and stay ahead of the curve.

What We’re Looking For

• Local Market Experience: Proven experience in Australian or APAC-based inside sales or business development.
• Communication Excellence: Exceptional written and verbal English skills. You can hold a confident, professional conversation with a C-suite executive just as easily as a middle manager.
• CRM Proficiency: Experience with Salesforce or similar CRM platforms is essential.
• Grit & Coachability: You are self-motivated and thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment. You take feedback on the chin and use it to improve immediately.
• Stakeholder Management: Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities while maintaining a high level of output.

Remuneration & Benefits

We believe in rewarding high performance with a package that reflects the Australian market and the specialized nature of this role.

• Competitive Base Salary: $60,000 – $70,000 (commensurate with experience).
• Uncapped Commissions: Realistic OTE (On-Target Earnings) of $100,000 – $115,000+ in your first year. We don’t cap your success.
• Flexible Working: We are a remote-first culture that values output over "desk time." Work from home.

How to Apply: Please apply directly through this job ad. To ensure a fair process for all candidates, we cannot accept direct outreach via email or LinkedIn.
