About Crexi
Commercial real estate is one of the largest asset classes on earth and one of the last to go digital. Deals still get done over email threads, PDFs, and relationships nobody can search for. Crexi is the exchange betting that doesn't have to be true anymore: we're building the platform where an entire industry finds, evaluates, and closes deals, and we're betting hard on AI to get there faster than anyone thought this industry could move. There's no playbook for turning a trillion-dollar, relationship-driven industry into a modern marketplace which means the people building it get to write it.
About This Role:
The Sales Development Representative (SDR), Data Sales is the frontline driver of pipeline for Crexi Intelligence, our market data and analytics product for commercial real estate professionals. Working in a high-velocity outbound environment, the SDR identifies, engages, and qualifies prospective buyers — including investors, developers, appraisers, assessors, lenders, and retailers — and hands off sales-ready opportunities to Account Executives. Success in this role is measured by consistent attainment of outbound activity targets, qualified meetings booked, and pipeline contribution. The SDR is a self-starter who thrives on cold calls, learns the CRE market quickly, and continuously refines outreach to sharpen the top of the funnel.
