Sales Development Representative — Enterprise Consulting

About Taidou

Taidou is a private management consulting firm built around a simple idea: real, measurable results for our clients, not reports that gather dust. Our consulting practice brings eight service lines — AI & Engineering, Assurance, Finance, Global Services, Human Capital, Project Management, Regulatory, Risk & Forensic, and Transformation Consulting — to organizations in complex, regulated sectors across aerospace & defense, consumer, education, energy, financial services, government & public services, health care, insurance, sports, technology, media & telecom, and utilities & renewables.

We are senior-led and built flat: the people in the first conversation are the people doing the work, every engagement starts with a written list of what we are deliberately not doing, and we hand over only once the change is running — to named owners inside the client. We take no referral fees, reseller margins or commissions from any vendor, which is what lets us tell a client the answer is not to buy anything.

The Role

As a Sales Development Representative you open doors for Taidou. You research target organizations, reach out across channels, qualify interest in short introductory calls, and book well-prepared meetings for our Account Executives and partners. You don't need a decade of consulting behind you — you need curiosity, persistence and genuine interest in the problems our clients face.

What You'll Do

• Research and prioritize target accounts and contacts among executives in regulated, complex sectors — CFOs, COOs, CIOs, chief risk officers and transformation leaders.
• Run thoughtful outbound outreach across email, LinkedIn and phone, and respond quickly to inbound interest.
• Qualify interest through short introductory calls: the problem, the timing, who decides and whether we are a fit.
• Book and prepare meetings for Account Executives and partners, with clean notes and context.
• Keep contacts, activity and opportunities accurate in the Taidou CRM, and report on conversion.
• Represent Taidou at events and in professional communities.
• Learn our service lines well enough to explain clearly what we do — and what we don't.

Qualifications

Required

• A natural ability to connect with people and build trust quickly.
• Strong written and spoken communication.
• Comfortable running multi-channel outreach and handling rejection.
• Organized, reliable and coachable.
• Reliable access to the tools and connectivity needed to work remotely.

Preferred (nice to have, not required)

• Some sales, business development or customer-facing experience, including internships or campus roles.
• Interest in consulting, startups or the public sector.
• Experience with a CRM.

How We Work

• Senior-led delivery — no bench, no handoff between the team that wins the work and the team that runs it.
• Named scope and named exclusions, agreed before work starts.
• Handover after adoption, to named owners, with a follow-up review we schedule ourselves.
• Independence from vendors: no referral fees, reseller margins or commissions.

We know great people don't always check every box. If you're excited about this role and believe you can do the work, we encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't line up perfectly.

Engagement & Compensation

This role is contract-to-hire. You join Taidou as an independent contractor for an initial onboarding period (typically 90 days), during which we agree your goals together. Once the conversion criteria set out in your offer are met, you convert to a full-time position with benefits.

Compensation is competitive and set according to experience and scope, and includes commission on the business you originate or grow. Full details are confirmed in your offer letter.
