SDR and BDR jobs are entry-level seats, and the requirements are usually a wish list. Customer-facing work (retail, serving, teaching, recruiting, sports) counts. Your best move is to message one of the insiders below before you apply.
What you'd actually do: Run outbound and follow up on inbound leads to book meetings with plant managers and operations leaders at target manufacturers for Tulip's AEs.
Most people just hit Apply. Do these first and you show up with someone on the inside.
A friendly message to a current rep is the best way to stand out. Ask about their experience, not for a referral.
This role is located in Somerville, MA - We are a hybrid work environment and are in the office 3+ days/per week.
Tulip brings modern technology and AI into manufacturing. Manufacturing accounts for almost 20% of the global economy and one in every seven workers on Earth, yet remains among the least digitized. More than a decade ago, we created the category to close that gap: AI-native software that puts cutting-edge tools directly in the hands of the people on the manufacturing front lines. Because we are human-centered and tech-obsessed, we are building a future of work where human ingenuity is amplified with the latest technology.
In January 2026 we became one of Boston's few new AI unicorns, reaching a $1.3B valuation. We're growing double digits in revenue year over year. The world's best manufacturers run on Tulip - turning inventory 10x faster, releasing gene therapies in hours instead of weeks, and training master craftspeople to forge engagement rings 5x more rapidly. Headquartered in Somerville, MA with offices in Germany, Hungary, Singapore, Japan, and Israel, we've been consistently named a World Economic Forum Global Innovator, a Gartner leader, and one of Built In Boston's "Best Places to Work."
We run the way we build: AI-forward, humanistic, and high ownership. We're looking for builders who are energized by complex problems, rapid cycles, and the unique opportunity to see their impact on a global scale.
Tulip is scaling its Commercial organization, and this role sits inside a small sales team focused on a shared list of target accounts. Tulip's AI-native platform is used by companies like AstraZeneca, Cartier, and Stanley Black & Decker to digitize shop floor operations, replace paper-based quality processes, and build composable operations solutions. The people you will talk to are plant managers, quality and operations leaders, and engineers solving real problems in complex environments, and you will need to understand their world well enough to earn the conversation.
You have worked in industrial or process engineering and want to move into sales, or you have started your career in B2B sales and understand the manufacturing world. You are curious about how factories run, emotionally intelligent, coachable, and comfortable adapting as things change. You’re resilient, able to read a conversation, adjust your approach, and keep moving forward when you hear no. You want to build a career in sales and are ready to spend the next 18–24 months learning, growing, and succeeding as a Business Development Representative in a high growth environment.
Nice to have:
We know even great candidates experience imposter syndrome. Even if you don't match every requirement, applying gives you the opportunity to be considered.
We're building a strong, diverse team that values hard work, families, and personal well-being.
