Description
Company Overview
Build something from the ground up with a company that's investing in growth.
Elk Ridge Investments is a privately held investment and business development firm based in American Fork, Utah. We partner with businesses and investors to identify opportunities that create long-term value through strategic investments, business growth, and tax-advantaged financial solutions.
We're an entrepreneurial company that believes exceptional people drive exceptional results. Instead of layers of bureaucracy, you'll work alongside experienced business leaders who value initiative, accountability, and continuous improvement.
As we continue to grow, we're building a high-performing sales organization from the ground up—and we're looking for someone who wants to grow with it.
If you're motivated by performance, enjoy healthy competition, and want the opportunity to help shape the future of a sales team while advancing your own career, you'll fit right in.
Position Summary
This isn't a typical Sales Development Representative role.
As Elk Ridge Investments' Founding Sales Development Representative, you'll work directly with our Head of Sales to build pipeline, refine outreach strategies, and help establish the foundation of our sales organization.
Your primary focus will be identifying and engaging high-income professionals who could benefit from Elk Ridge's investment and tax strategy solutions. Through outbound prospecting, relationship building, and thoughtful discovery conversations, you'll create qualified opportunities for the sales team while directly influencing company growth.
Because this is a founding role, your ideas and feedback won't disappear into a large organization. You'll have the opportunity to test new approaches, improve messaging, and help shape the future sales process.
If you're competitive, coachable, resilient, and excited by the opportunity to earn uncapped commissions while building your career, this role offers significant long-term potential. As the company grows, top performers will have opportunities to advance into Account Executive, SDR leadership, or broader sales management positions.
