Sales Development Representative

Arketa is building the operating system for modern fitness and wellness. Our mission is to make wellness more accessible by empowering studios and wellness entrepreneurs to grow beyond in-person classes. We provide a powerful, all-in-one platform to manage and scale hybrid wellness businesses—whether online, in-person, or both.

With Arketa, users can easily manage schedules, accept bookings and payments, build on-demand video libraries, host retreats, and run marketing campaigns via text and email. We also offer fully branded apps and websites, so studios can deliver a seamless, professional experience across every customer touchpoint.

We’ve raised $15M in Series A funding and are growing quickly. It’s a unique moment to join us—we’re building a category-defining company in a fast-moving space, and we’re looking for teammates who are excited to help shape the future of wellness.

The Role:

As a Sales Development Representative (SDR), you’ll be the first point of contact for prospective customers, using creative outreach methods to introduce them to Arketa and demonstrate how we can help their business thrive.

You’ll focus on small and mid-sized wellness studios & entrepreneurs, driving outbound sales through phone calls, emails, social media messaging, and other innovative approaches. Your goal will be to build the initial connections with potential clients while managing your pipeline meticulously.

• Qualify and prioritize leads: Understand each prospect's business needs, timeline, and decision-making process to determine their fit with Arketa

• Schedule high-quality demos: Set up meetings between qualified prospects and Account Executives, ensuring smooth handoffs with complete context

• Become an Arketa expert: Understand our platform inside and out so you can speak confidently about how we solve real problems for fitness businesses

• Keep everything organized: Maintain accurate records in HubSpot, track lead progression, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks

• Collaborate across teams: Work closely with Marketing to optimize lead quality and provide feedback on campaign performance

• Follow up strategically: Stay connected with prospects who aren't ready to move forward immediately, nurturing them until they're ready for next steps

What We’re Looking For:

• Has some cold-calling experience, ideally in SMB SaaS, selling to fitness studios, restaurants, or small businesses. Recruiting and real estate experience are also particularly relevant

• Familiarity with Hubspot, Nooks (or a parallel dialer), Instagram, Loom, Vidyard and lead sources

• BA/BS degree preferred but not required

• Fitness Enthusiast: You’ve worked in a fitness studio and understand the ins and outs of studio software (bonus if you’ve used Arketa, Mindbody, Wellnessliving, Marianatek, or Momence).

• Sales Talent: You’re ready to dive into outbound efforts using phone, email, messaging, and creative outreach.

• Strong Communicator: You can easily connect with people, articulate ideas clearly in both written and verbal communication, and excel at building rapport.

• Grit & Determination: You’re someone who doesn’t shy away from the challenge of persistence and knows that each conversation, whether immediate or down the road, brings you closer to making a real impact. You thrive on connecting with people and are excited to overcome obstacles to drive results.

• Organized & Driven: You can manage multiple priorities—whether it’s tracking leads, emails, calls, or social outreach—and you’re resourceful in problem-solving to meet business needs. You’ll keep your work updated in hubspot and our sales software tools.

• Mission-Aligned: You’re passionate about wellness and excited to help fitness studios grow with Arketa’s innovative platform.
