## Job description

🚀 BDR Manager (Foundational GTM | AI Voice & RCS)

Clerk Chat is building AI-powered voice and messaging (RCS/SMS) agents for high-volume, performance-driven revenue organizations. Our customers operate in complex, regulated environments where speed to lead, contact rates, and conversion efficiency directly drive revenue.

We’re hiring a foundational BDR Manager to build our sales development engine from zero, owning pipeline generation, outbound strategy, and AI-powered automation across inbound and outbound.

This is a hands-on leadership role for a self-starter who wants to build, not inherit.

## What You’ll Do

- Build and scale Clerk Chat’s BDR function from the ground up
- Hire, onboard, and coach high-performing BDRs
- Own top-of-funnel pipeline across inbound + outbound motions
- Design and run a high-output, multi-channel outbound engine (calls, email, LinkedIn, RCS)
- Break into complex, multi-stakeholder accounts with high lead velocity and strict compliance needs
- Partner closely with Sales on account strategy and pipeline targets
- Own BDR KPIs: meetings set, SQOs, pipeline created, and conversion rates
- Build and operate AI-first workflows using tools like Clay, Make, Lemlist, and LLMs
- Experiment, iterate, and scale new outbound plays as the market evolves

## Who You Are

- A builder who thrives in ambiguity and early-stage environments
- Hands-on leader who leads from the front
- Outbound-first, metrics-driven, and operationally sharp
- Comfortable selling into performance-driven orgs (lead gen, marketplaces, regulated verticals)
- Excited about AI, automation, and creating leverage with modern GTM tools

## Requirements

- 4–7+ years in sales or sales development
- 2–4+ years managing or leading BDR/SDR teams
- Proven success owning pipeline targets and outbound motions
- Experience building or scaling GTM processes from scratch
- Strong analytical and coaching skills
- Experience with CRM, sequencing tools, and sales analytics

Strongly Preferred

- Experience selling AI, voice, messaging, or API-first products
- Familiarity with high-volume lead environments and compliance-driven workflows
- Hands-on experience with Clay, Make, enrichment tools, or custom GTM automation
- Track record developing BDRs into AEs

## Why Clerk Chat

- Foundational GTM role with real ownership
- Build the first AI-native BDR engine for voice + RCS
- Work directly with sales leadership on GTM strategy
- Move fast, ship often, and see your impact immediately

## Products & Services

- **The Conversational Inbox**: A unified inbox where AI agents and human teams work side-by-side, with full conversation context, warm handoffs, and real-time notifications.
- **InfiniteScale**: Auto-scaling infrastructure that handles 1,000+ concurrent voice sessions out of the box with sub-500ms voice latency and zero pre-provisioning.
- **TCPA ShieldLayer**: A purpose-built compliance engine that automatically handles TCPA, HIPAA, and GDPR regulatory requirements in real time, including consent management, Do-Not-Call list screening, and opt-in/opt-out enforcement.
- **Belle AI Agent Builder**: Allows users to design AI agents visually or describe them in natural language for rapid deployment.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available
- **Key Metric**: $10 million in annual revenue (as of early 2026); $7 million in total seed funding
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Race Capital (lead investor), HF0, Mento VC, Altair VC. Key partners include Google, Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T for the first simultaneous multicarrier RCS solution in North America.
- **Growth Signals**: Over 2,000 clients across financial services, healthcare, and insurance; expanded to Canada with a new Montréal engineering hub (May 2026); rebranded from Clerk Chat to Clerk AI in Spring 2026 to reflect AI agent focus; processes millions of AI messages and voice calls daily.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Purpose-built enterprise compliance**: TCPA ShieldLayer, HIPAA with BAA, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR compliance built directly into every interaction, reducing legal risk for clients.
- **Sub-500ms voice latency**: Proprietary InstantRecall caching and edge-optimized inference eliminates awkward pauses, driving higher call completion rates.
- **Multicarrer RCS leadership**: First-to-market with a simultaneous multicarrier RCS solution across Google, Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T.
- **OmniMemory**: Cross-channel context persistence ensures every agent (AI or human) knows the full conversation history, creating seamless customer experiences.
- **30+ language native support**: Agents auto-detect and respond in the caller’s language from a single deployment.

## Strategic Focus
- **International expansion**: The May 2026 launch of a Montréal engineering hub marks the first expansion outside the U.S., tapping into Canadian AI talent and strengthening the local ecosystem.
- **Deepening enterprise capabilities**: Continued investment in InfiniteScale auto-scaling, compliance automation (TCPA/HIPAA), and audit trail features to win larger enterprise clients.
- **AI agent sophistication**: Shifting from a general messaging platform to purpose-built AI agents for performance marketing, with a focus on real-time sentiment detection, lead qualification, and in-conversation purchasing.
- **Partner ecosystem growth**: Deepening relationships with telecom carriers (Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T) and expanding into new verticals like auto, home, health, and life insurance.

## Why Work Here
- **Growth trajectory**: The company exploded from founding in 2023 to $10M ARR and a $7M seed round by 2024-2026, indicating strong product-market fit and rapid scaling.
- **Engineering culture**: Emphasis on cutting-edge AI infrastructure (sub-500ms latency, auto-scaling, edge inference) — ideal for engineers passionate about real-time systems and NLP.
- **New Montréal hub**: The newly launched Montréal engineering hub (approx. 15 hires) offers a chance to be an early team member in an international expansion, with a focus on prompt engineering and conversational AI. The company is actively hiring for that location.
- **Remote/Hybrid**: Not specifically stated, but headquarters are in San Francisco. The new Montréal hub suggests a growing distributed team.
- **Leadership**: CEO Alexander Haque (McGill alum, ex-Netflix, ex-Samsung Innovation) has a track record of scaling AI products and deep domain expertise in telecom and customer service.
- **Notable perks**: Work on a platform that processes millions of customer interactions daily across voice, RCS, SMS, and WhatsApp. Direct access to foundational AI models and enforcement of cutting-edge compliance automation.
