The Sales Development Representative is the first conversation many defense contractors will have with Cuick Trac. You will find and qualify small and mid-sized manufacturers, engineering firms, and other federal contractors that need to protect CUI and pass a CMMC Level 2 assessment, then book qualified meetings for our Account Executives.
This is an entry-level, remote role built for someone who wants to start a career in cybersecurity sales. No prior compliance background is required. We will train you on CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, and the Cuick Trac solution. What we need from you is curiosity, discipline, strong communication skills, and the persistence to have many conversations every week.

* Document every conversation clearly in the CRM and give AEs a clean, complete handoff.
