Sales Development Representative

We’re Team Granola 👋, building tools that help humans think and work better.

What began as an AI notepad for back-to-back meetings has become a shared team workspace and second brain. Granola spreads organically inside companies, often starting with a senior leader and quickly cascading across teams.

Today, Granola is used at many of the world’s top and fastest-growing companies like Vercel, Cursor, Lovable, Decagon as well as leading technology companies like Salesforce and Doordash.

Designed and built in London, Granola now serves a predominantly US customer base. To support that growth, we’ve opened a San Francisco office as the hub for our North American go-to-market efforts.

As a SDR at Granola, you’ll be on the front line of our go-to-market motion. You’ll engage highly engaged users, generate and qualify new opportunities, and help convert early love for the product into meaningful revenue conversations.

This is a high-impact role with real ownership: you’ll work across inbound and outbound motions, partner closely with AEs and product, and help shape how we scale our sales engine from the ground up.

• Engage with high-intent inbound leads and product-qualified users, qualifying interest and converting engagement into sales opportunities.

• Run targeted outbound outreach to priority accounts and personas, using a thoughtful, value-led approach.

• Qualify prospects through discovery calls to understand needs, use cases, and buying readiness.

• Close high velocity accounts and schedule and hand off high-quality opportunities to Account Executives, setting them up for successful closes.

• Collaborate closely with AEs, product, and growth to share insights from the field and improve conversion.

• Help build and refine our outbound messaging, qualification criteria, and SDR playbooks based on what works.

• Play a hands-on role in shaping the SF office culture and the foundations of the sales team.
