About the Role

If you are looking to develop your career in B2B SaaS sales and thrive off of a fast-paced, collaborative culture where you can make an impact, you may be a fit for this position within the Responsive team.

As a Strategic, Sr. ADR, you will  focus on expanding relationships across the customer “family tree”—identifying new business units, subsidiaries, and stakeholders to unlock incremental revenue. You will partner closely with Global Account Managers (GAMs) to execute account expansion strategies, build pipeline, and deepen customer penetration.

Unlike traditional outbound roles, this position operates at the intersection of account strategy, stakeholder mapping, and revenue expansion, requiring a consultative and highly analytical approach

The Account Development Representative (ADR) team is the primary driver of Client Sales opportunities at Responsive. Through outbound opportunity generation and inbound lead qualification, each ADR  plays a key role in the lead-to-pipeline process. The primary focus of an ADR is to drive account expansion and upgrade opportunities to GAMs. 

 

Responsive’s sales team is a revenue-driving team in a high-growth SaaS company. An effective ADR  will understand the company’s vision, goals, and strategy. You will maintain up to date knowledge of the Response Management market. As a part of the account development team you will leverage messaging and collateral, conduct research, and perform outreach activities to nurture and qualify leads that will convert to opportunities, and ultimately new customers. ADRs should be comfortable communicating across a variety of channels including email, phone, and social media.
