Organization: Klaar - a rapidly growing HR tech SaaS live in Fortune 500 enterprises, unicorns, and startups and backed by marquee VCs and HR leaders.

About Klaar:

Klaar is an HR tech SaaS platform that empowers People Leaders to build high-performing, people-centric organizations. It is the Performance Management, Talent Development, and Employee Engagement platform that fits how you work. 

The co-founders, Sharthok and Atri are batchmates from XLRI, Jamshedpur with prior experience in HR and PM leadership roles in organizations like Microsoft and Aramex. With deep domain knowledge and industry connections, we are scaling Klaar rapidly. The greatest asset of Klaar is our team. We are looking for somebody who would love to be a part of an early-stage high-growth startup, build things from the ground up, and most importantly would share our vision. 

We present an opportunity to impact a global problem in a way that has been seldom done. 

What is this  Role supposed to achieve?

As one of the first outbound SDRs for Klaar in the North America and APAC region,  you have the opportunity to set up, shape and grow the business across multiple new geographies.

At Klaar you will be expected to:

• Deep Dive into the Klaar platform and its various modules as well as the Performance Management and Talent Development space.
• Build and supplement your core skills with product as well as industry knowledge.
• Craft the outreach program with GTM practices, and iterate it to what works best for you.
• Consistently work towards your own targets that will eventually help drive monthly/quarterly/yearly targets.

You should explore this opportunity if:

• You have 1-2 years of experience in B2B SaaS, preferably HR Tech or the Performance Management domain.

• You have a consistent track record of hitting your numbers, and successfully engaging with US and APAC customers.

• You are as comfortable picking up a phone as you are at writing an email that a CHRO can't ignore.

• Worked with Sales tools such as Apollo, Sales Navigator and Hubspot.

• You have a mindset to work in a fast-paced environment and scale from 0 to 1 stage.

• You can hold clear and direct communication with your mentors and peers — As a remote organization, nailing written communication is critical.

• You are comfortable with ambiguity. An early-stage startup is full of ‘unknowns’ and often includes rapid iterations of ‘strategy’.

• You are great with Ownership. You would be building this from the ground up. There wouldn’t be people necessarily overseeing your day-to-day. You’ll have to own this and deliver.

• Execution is one of your core strengths. A startup that executes a half-decent strategy will beat a startup that half-executes a great strategy.

Additional Perks:

• Work from wherever you want - Yay! for Remote Work
• Comprehensive Medical Health Insurance with OPD Coverage
