At Instructure, we believe in the power of people to grow and succeed throughout their lives. Our goal is to amplify that power by creating intuitive products that simplify learning and personal development, facilitate meaningful relationships, and inspire people to go further in their education and careers.

We are looking for a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to support our global go-to-market teams through a blended motion of inbound lead engagement and outbound prospecting. This role is designed for language-specific and region-based coverage, where you will be paired with a Drive Team (Sales Rep + CSM) and responsible for responding quickly to inbound interest while consistently driving new pipeline through proactive outbound work.

As an SDR at Instructure, you are often the first impression a prospective customer has of our company. This role requires strong communication and storytelling - you’ll seek to understand each customer’s unique context, uncover pain points, and connect the right Instructure solutions directly to their goals. The best SDRs create value through thoughtful discovery and personalized outreach, not just activity.

What You’ll Do

• Own inbound speed-to-lead: respond quickly, qualify inbound interest, and schedule high-quality meetings.

• Execute consistent outbound prospecting every week, regardless of inbound volume.
  Deliver a strong buyer experience through clear communication, storytelling, and discovery-driven conversations.

• Research accounts and personas to tailor messaging that resonates in your region and language market.

• Partner with your Drive Team to align on territory strategy, target accounts, and follow-through plans.

• Drive pipeline that becomes qualified pipeline, validated by the Sales Rep and moved into active working pipeline.

• Maintain accurate activity and pipeline tracking in Salesforce and engagement tools.

• Continuously improve outreach and qualification through coaching, iteration, and market insights.

Business & Government
In this role, you’ll support organizations focused on continuing education, certification, and career-aligned learning programs, using strong discovery and storytelling to connect Instructure solutions to customer goals and pain points.

In this role, you’ll support our partner ecosystem by engaging organizations that expand our reach and impact, using clear communication, discovery, and relationship-building to generate qualified pipeline and drive aligned next steps.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong written and verbal communication skills (including required regional language fluency)

• Customer-first mindset and the ability to create a strong first impression

• Ability to balance inbound urgency with outbound discipline and consistent execution
