Inside Sales Representative (BDR)
Data & AI Practice
Workplace: Remote - India
Shift - Night/ US hours
The role
We are hiring an Inside Sales Representative (BDR) for Rackspace Technology’s Data & AI Practice. You will report to the Head of BDR.
Your job is to open doors. You will find and qualify companies that need data modernization, analytics, and production AI - then book the right meetings for our Data & AI sales team.
This is not a generic cloud SDR seat. You will sell a real Data & AI story: governed enterprise AI, modern data platforms, and outcomes customers can run in production.
What you’ll do
- Run outbound and inbound motion across a defined territory or account list.
- Prospect CIOs, CDOs, CTOs, VP Data, and business leaders on LinkedIn, phone, and email.
- Qualify fast: use case, data maturity, budget, sponsor, timeline, and path to production.
- Book qualified meetings and create Sales Accepted Opportunities in Salesforce.
- Run sharp first-call discovery and hand off cleanly to Account Executives and solutions teams.
- Partner with AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Palantir, and Uniphore co-sell motions when it helps the deal.
- Keep CRM tight - every activity, next step, and note.
- Hit monthly targets for meetings, SAOs, and pipeline created.
What you’ll sell
- Data platform modernization and analytics
- Generative AI, agentic AI, and enterprise AI platforms
- Palantir Foundry and AIP for regulated and mid-market environments
- AI operations and production inference on governed infrastructure
- Professional services, forward-deployed engineering, and managed Data & AI operations
What good looks like
- You consistently beat activity and pipeline targets.
- Buyers leave the first call clearer than they arrived.
- AEs trust your handoffs.
- You know enough Data & AI to be credible - and you learn fast on the rest.
What you bring
- 6+ years in BDR, inside sales, or mid-market sales for cloud, data, analytics, AI, or enterprise services.
- A proven outbound engine. You can open accounts without waiting for inbound.
- Working knowledge of cloud + data + AI (AWS, Azure, or GCP; data platforms; GenAI). You do not need to be an architect.
- Strong English on video, phone, and email.
- Salesforce and sales tools (Sales Navigator, Outreach / Zoominfo etc or similar).
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
Nice to have
- Sold services or outcomes, not only licenses.
- Touched Palantir, Databricks, Snowflake, Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Vertex, or Uniphore.
- Worked BFSI, healthcare, energy, or other regulated buyers.
