About the role

We’re looking for a sharp SDR / appointment setter to help Retell AI convert positive prospect replies into booked meetings with our sales team.

We already have a strong flow of interested prospects coming in from LinkedIn, email, and outbound campaigns. Your job is not to do cold prospecting from scratch. Your job is to respond fast, follow up persistently, and get qualified prospects booked with an AE.

What you’ll do:

  • Monitor positive replies from LinkedIn, email, and outbound channels
  • Reply within 5 minutes whenever possible
  • Follow up quickly and professionally to drive prospects toward a meeting
  • Book meetings directly on the AE calendar
  • Call prospects when needed to accelerate booking
  • Keep CRM / tracking systems updated
  • Hand off booked meetings cleanly to the AE with context

What we’re looking for:

  • Prior SDR, appointment setting, or sales development experience
  • Strong written English and professional communication
  • Comfortable using LinkedIn, email, calling, CRM tools, and sales engagement tools
  • Fast response time and high ownership
  • Persistent without sounding pushy
  • Bonus: experience selling B2B SaaS, AI, call center software, or sales automation tools

Important: This role is focused on speed-to-lead and meeting conversion. We need someone who can move fast, stay organized, and turn warm interest into booked calls.

To apply, please include:

  • Your prior SDR / appointment setting experience
  • Your availability and working hours
  • A short example of how you would reply to a prospect who says: “Interested, can you send more info?”

About Retell AI

Retell is building the AI voice layer for every business.

We’re replacing outdated call centers with real-time AI voice agents that sell, support, and retain customers at scale.

Voice is still the most natural way humans communicate, yet it’s been stuck with legacy tech for decades. We’re changing that by bringing speed, empathy, and reliability to every phone conversation.

In under two years, thousands of companies now run on Retell. We’ve grown to $35M ARR, raised a $4.7M seed, and scaled a 24-person team, backed by Y Combinator, Altman Capital, and top-tier investors.

We’re now one of the top 50 AI apps in a16z’s rankings and a top-ranking startup on the Lean AI leaderboard.

We’re moving fast, tackling hard technical problems, and setting the standard for voice automation. If you want to help define the future of how businesses talk to customers, this is the place to do it.
