Rockstar blends human recruiters with GenAI to help small-to-midsize businesses hire professional talent efficiently. We work with founders and business leaders who need top talent without the hefty fees of traditional recruiting.
About the Role
We're seeking a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to assist in driving referrals, managing outreach, and executing targeted campaigns alongside the founder. This role is unique, focusing heavily on referrals rather than cold outbound strategies. The goal is to engage with the existing network, nurture partnerships, and creatively generate new opportunities. The SDR will follow a proven playbook but also have the freedom to experiment and refine strategies.
This is an hourly contract role with uncapped bonuses for meetings booked. Candidates who are hungry, motivated, and strong communicators with excellent written English skills may find this role a great fit.

- Identify and reach out to potential channel partners (e.g., fractional executives, business coaches, nonprofit organizations).
- Craft compelling partnership pitch emails.
**Content & Engagement**
- Post new job openings on LinkedIn and tag relevant parties to maximize visibility.
**Cold Outbound Experiments (Limited but strategic)**
- Test cold outreach campaigns to Executive Assistants at financial and professional services firms and other niche segments.
- Help refine messaging and strategy based on results.
What We’re Looking For
- ✅ Excellent written English – Ability to write clear, engaging, and natural-sounding business emails.
- ✅ Relevant experience – Prior experience in sales development, partnerships, recruitment, or a similar role is a plus.
- ✅ Proactive & motivated – Resourceful, takes initiative, and loves figuring things out.
- ✅ Process-driven but adaptable – Can follow a playbook but also think on their feet and suggest improvements.
- ✅ Strong research & organization skills – Can manage outreach lists, track conversations, and keep things running smoothly.
Compensation & Benefits
