Come shape the future of education with us.
Clipboard is transforming the way that schools deliver extracurricular programs. We drive student engagement and quality of education by supporting music, sports, clubs and everything else that happens outside of the classroom.
Clipboard plays a critical role for schools in ensuring they deliver quality programs in a safe and organised environment. Hundreds of schools - and hundreds of thousands of students, parents and staff - rely on Clipboard daily across Australia, New Zealand and beyond.
We build innovative and streamlined software to help schools win back time, save money, meet duty of care requirements, communicate better and ultimately focus on those who matter the most: their students.
Now part of the Compass Education Group, giving us the backing to scale quickly while maintaining a fast-moving, high-performance environment, we’re looking for a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to join our Sydney team and play a key role in driving our next phase of growth.

About the Role & Team
Reporting to the Sales & Marketing Manager, you'll work within our growing sales team to generate new business opportunities. You'll focus on identifying and engaging prospective schools across Australia, New Zealand, and international markets in Asia through strategic outbound campaigns and relationship building.

Day to day you will:
- Execute strategic outbound campaigns through cold calls, emails and LinkedIn outreach to generate proactive sales leads from schools in Australia, New Zealand, and Asian international markets.
- Conduct discovery calls to understand prospects' needs, challenges and decision-making processes.
- Schedule qualified discovery meetings between prospects and Account Executives.
- Represent Clipboard at key education events, conferences and expos to generate leads and build brand awareness.
