AI-Augmented Outbound (SDR / BDR)
Builds Clay + LLM enrichment pipelines for hyper-personalized outbound at scale. Writes prompts the way bad SDRs write templates — but with evals. Knows when AI helps reply rate and when it tanks deliverability.
The role that replaced the 5-SDR pod for many seed startups.
Founding AE
The first commercial hire after the founder — runs deals end-to-end, builds the playbook from zero, and tells you what's real about the GTM. Comfortable using LLMs to research accounts faster than competitors.
Inbound SDR
Real-time lead triage with speed-to-lead SLAs, clear qualification, clean calendar handoffs. Uses LLM enrichment on inbound forms to triage smarter.
RevOps Engineer
Owns the data model, automations, and AI workflows. Builds Clay / n8n / Inngest pipelines, integrates LLMs into routing and scoring, keeps the dashboards trustworthy. Looks more like a workflow engineer than a classic RevOps admin.
Sales Engineering / AI Demos
Builds custom AI demos and discovery prototypes for prospects. Spins up working RAG / agent demos in a week using the prospect's data shape. Closes the "can it do X?" gap fast.
Sales Enablement
Builds playbooks, talk tracks, objection handling, training. Maintains LLM-augmented call libraries with searchable evals. Reduces ramp.
Not every role needs an LLM. We still place the classic tracks on the same bench, same human review, same per-hire model.
- Classic Outbound SDR / BDRPhone + email outbound the traditional way. Reps who close on the call.
- Account Executive (Mid-market / Enterprise)Full-cycle AEs running deals beyond founder-led selling.
- Customer Success / Account ManagementPost-sale ownership — onboarding, adoption, expansion, renewals.
- Sales Development ManagerFront-line SDR leader. Coaching, ramp design, quota carrying.
- Channel / PartnershipsTech partners, resellers, integrations-driven pipeline.
- CRM AdminSalesforce / HubSpot admin without the AI workflow layer.
Beyond the resume.
Culture screening, AI-assisted skills assessment, expert human review. A real recruiter signs off before any candidate reaches you.
AI-outbound craft
Clay + LLM enrichment fluency. Knows the difference between AI-personalized and AI-fingerprinted outbound. Has shipped prompt-driven sequences with measurable reply rate.
Call fundamentals
Opener → discovery → next step; objection handling. Demos that actually demo, not theater.
CRM + RevOps hygiene
Notes, tasks, stages, fields, automations. Treats the CRM as production data, not a junk drawer.
Metrics literacy
Reply / meet rate, opps created, coverage, CAC/LTV. A/B tests AI-augmented vs. baseline outbound and reads the data honestly.
Tool fluency
Salesforce / HubSpot + Outreach / Salesloft / Apollo / Clay / Smartlead + LLM APIs. Builds the workflow when needed.
Stage fit
A great Series B AE is a terrible Seed AE. We screen for the stage you're at.
Outcomes we drive
- More qualified meetings with the right accounts — at lower SDR cost
- AI-augmented sequences that lift reply rate without tanking deliverability
- Cleaner pipeline and trustworthy dashboards (real CRM data, not vibes)
- Faster ramp with playbooks the team actually reads
- Predictable reporting (meetings → opps → revenue)

- How do you screen for outbound craft?
- Call sims plus a Clay + LLM enrichment exercise. Reps must show prospecting craft, deliverability discipline, and CRM hygiene.
- What does it cost to hire a US seller through Aperturio?
- $10,000 flat per direct hire — same fee whether the role is a $75K SDR or a $220K founding AE. No retainer, no seats.
