About Harper

You make one call, we make the rest. Harper learns your business, works every market that can write it, and brings back the right coverage at the right price. Backed by Peak XV, Y Combinator and Antler.

About the role

This is the SDR role as it will exist in 2030. You direct AI agents, automate your own workflows, and apply human judgment exactly where the machines stall. We call it being the human in the loop for top-of-funnel growth, and Harper is one of the few places in the world actually building it.

What they're looking for

  • An ambitious and personable recent grad or early-career candidate who is excited to launch a career in GTM sales
  • Excited to join the sales team at a hyper-growth AI startup disrupting the insurance industry
  • You've worked a high-volume phone role and were good at it, or you haven't, but everyone who knows you is sure you would be
  • Rejection doesn't rattle you
  • Talking to people all day energizes you. Call 50 gets the same energy as call 1
  • You reach for AI tools by instinct. When something is repetitive, your first thought is to automate it
More about this role

We're rebuilding the entire business as software, on a simple bet: turning expert human judgment into compute is one of the largest transitions left to make, and a trillion-dollar industry still run 90% by hand is the place to prove it. We've grown roughly 100x in the last year and we move at that speed: on-site, in person, long days, very high standards.

This is the SDR role as it will exist in 2030. You direct AI agents, automate your own workflows, and apply human judgment exactly where the machines stall. We call it being the human in the loop for top-of-funnel growth, and Harper is one of the few places in the world actually building it.

The primary job is AI-native outbound: sourcing new business owners from enriched public data, running call and email campaigns at volume not possible 3 years ago, and converting cold contacts into real opportunities. Alongside that, you own an inbound pipeline: working a power dialer of warm leads our AI agents couldn't reach, completing intake applications live on the phone, and warming up quoted leads and transferring them to the account executive (AE) team.
