Sales Development Representative II, Emerging

What you’ll cook up in your first year

• A healthy, self-sourced pipeline of emerging-market logos — built from consistent 40–60 daily outbound touches and 3x+ pipeline coverage — that directly fuels Instacart Business’s new logo growth.
• Net-new closed-won revenue in the emerging segment, from first touch through signed deal, with a track record of meeting or exceeding monthly and quarterly quota.
• Repeatable, tested playbooks for prospecting and closing in the emerging segment — including refined ICPs, A/B-tested sequences, and conversion benchmarks that the broader team can build on.
• Meaningful cross-functional partnerships with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Operations — bringing the voice of your customers into roadmap conversations, pilots, and packaging decisions.
• A reputation as the go-to for emerging-market deal expertise: someone who can run tailored demos, build ROI narratives for multiple personas, and navigate buying committees with confidence.
