ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a foundational role at InnoVint. As our first Sales Development Representative, you’ll help build the playbook for how we proactively reach and connect with wineries. You’ll support a modern, data-driven prospecting motion using targeted outreach and AI-powered tools. Creativity matters here, whether that’s personalized messaging, smart use of intros, events, or gifting, to start real conversations with the right wineries. You’ll work closely with Marketing and Sales to turn ideas into pipeline in a fast-moving, hands-on environment. If you’re energized by building from the ground up, testing what works, and learning quickly while shaping a new function, this role offers real ownership and impact.
