Guusto is on a mission to help build amazing company cultures where people feel appreciated, engaged, and inspired. We partner with HR leaders to deliver flexible, meaningful recognition programs that employees actually love. Since 2020, we have grown over 400 percent and are proud to be the number one highest rated recognition and rewards platform on G2 and Capterra, with over 3,000 five star reviews. Our customers include Canada Life, Leviâs, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, Fairmont Hotels, and thousands more.
Weâre looking for a hungry and driven Sales Development Representative who thrives on pushing opportunities forward. In this role, you wonât just be responding to inbound leads; youâll actively drive opportunities forward using thoughtful discovery, rigorous qualification, and well-timed urgency. Youâll own smaller-value deals end-to-end and partner with Account Executives on mid-market and enterprise opportunities, proactively stepping in when customer intent is unclear.
This is a relationship building role for someone whoâs comfortable being in front of customers, naturally curious about how organizations buy, and who loves making progress, not being passive.

- Proactively drive opportunities, reaching out when customer interest is warm but not fully formed
- Conduct discovery conversations to understand customer business needs, pain points, and buying processes
- Make judgment calls on qualification, deal priority, and next steps, including when to advance, nurture, or disqualify leads
- Own and close smaller value opportunities end-to-end, from qualification to close

What We're Looking For- 2-3 years of SaaS experience in an inbound or outbound sales development role
- Proven ability to advance opportunities in ambiguous situations, not just respond to inbound demand
- Strong discovery and qualification skills with the ability to detect real buying signals

- Confident communicator who can lead calls, demos, and conversations with customers at multiple levels of an organization
