What an SDR JD Looks Like

This is an example output. Your generated JD will be tailored to your sales motion (outbound / inbound / mixed), ACV, target persona (SMB / mid-market / enterprise), and stack (Outreach, Apollo, HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.).

Sales Development Representative (SDR)

[Company] · Remote or [City] · Full-time

🎯 Role Mission

Generate qualified pipeline for the account executive team by running outbound sequences across email and LinkedIn, targeting [ICP] decision-makers, with a goal of 15 SQLs per month by month 3.

📋 What You'll Own

  • Run outbound sequences targeting [ICP] at [company size] companies across email and LinkedIn
  • Qualify inbound leads within 24 hours, using a defined qualification framework (MEDDIC / BANT)
  • Book and hand off discovery calls to AEs, with full context notes
  • Maintain CRM hygiene: every touchpoint logged, every outcome recorded
  • Identify and report messaging patterns — what subject lines get replies, what objections come up first

✅ Requirements

  • Demonstrable track record of hitting or exceeding pipeline targets in an SDR or similar outbound role
  • Strong written communication — you'll be writing sequences, not just sending templates
  • Comfortable with outbound tooling (Apollo, Outreach, or equivalent) and CRM hygiene
  • Coachable: you incorporate feedback quickly and treat objections as data, not rejection
  • Self-managed: you don't need daily check-ins to stay on activity targets

🏆 Success at 90 Days

30 days: Fully ramped on ICP, product, and sequences. First booked meetings in the calendar. Reporting daily activity against targets.

60 days: Hitting 50% of SQL quota. Iterating on messaging based on reply data. No CRM gaps.

90 days: At or above full SQL quota. Has identified at least one messaging or targeting improvement with evidence. Consistent pipeline contributor.

Common Questions

Does this work for inbound SDRs, outbound SDRs, and BDRs?
Yes. Specify whether the role is primarily inbound, outbound, or a mix, and whether the title is SDR, BDR, or Sales Development Rep. The AI tailors the motion, KPIs, and competencies accordingly.
Is it really free?
Yes. HireLikeaPro is free forever for core features including JD generation, scorecard creation, and candidate analysis. No credit card required.
What if this is the first SDR we're hiring?
Specify that this is your first SDR hire. The output will emphasize self-direction, adaptability, and the ability to build process rather than follow one — critical traits for a first-SDR hire at a startup.
Can I generate JDs for other sales roles?
Yes. HireLikeaPro generates JDs for any role — Account Executive, Sales Manager, Customer Success, and more. Each generates its own matching scorecard and interview questions.
