Founding Sales Development Representative Team Lead (SDR)

Why Perfect Venue?

• Early Impact: Be the first SDR Team Lead at the company, mentor the SDR team, and work directly with the CEO and Head of Sales when hired.
• Proven Product: Hundreds of paying customers and a #1 ranking on G2.
• Leadership Collaboration: Work directly with our team in SF in a dynamic, supportive environment.

About Us 

Private events and catering can significantly increase restaurant revenue, but many restaurants are stuck using outdated, error-prone manual processes - unlike the sophisticated software employed by large chains. Perfect Venue is leveling the playing field by offering local restaurants an affordable, user-friendly, event management tool to help local restaurants compete with big chains. This is just the start, with plans to expand into a broader marketplace that includes venues and other event services (DJs, florists, etc).
