Sales Development Representative

About the Job MXD Process builds the equipment behind products people use every day. Our tanks, mixers, and turnkey process systems help manufacturers in food, beverage, cosmetics, chemical, and other regulated industries blend, process, and move liquids at scale. When a beverage brand takes a recipe from the lab to the plant floor, equipment like ours is often what makes it possible.

You will work targeted lists of manufacturers, generating qualified pipeline from cold through email sequences, phone calls, and LinkedIn outreach.

You will not be closing deals yet, but every outbound deal our AEs win will start with you. This is an entry-level role built for a recent graduate. You do not need to know what a sanitary mixer is on day one. You need to be curious enough to learn, disciplined enough to do the reps, and coachable enough to get better every week. We will teach you the industry, the equipment, and the craft of outbound selling.
