Sparta Commodities covers all of oil, freight, and refined products, home to Leonidas AI, the first decision-making engine for oil traders. Backed by FirstMark Capital.
About the role
Own your territory. You'll build the Americas (USA, Canada, LATAM) outbound motion from the ground up — segmenting accounts, mapping buying committees, and prioritising based on signal. You decide who to go after and why, and you defend that decision with data. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 2–4 years of SDR / BDR experience in the Americas , ideally in B2B SaaS sold into financial services, trading, or commodities
- A track record of hitting quota — and the metrics to back it up. Meetings booked, opportunities generated, pipeline sourced, conversion rates. Come prepared to talk numbers
- Demonstrable use of AI in your workflow. Tell us which tools you use, what you've automated, and where you've seen lift. We're looking for genuine fluency, not surface-level familiarity
- Hands-on with our stack. HubSpot, Outreach and ZoomInfo. You don't need expert-level command of all four on day one, but you should be fluent in at least two and quick to pick up the rest
- Sequence fluency. You've built and iterated on outbound sequences before. You know what your reply rates are. You know why
- Sharp written communication. Short, specific, and credible. You write outreach that senior buyers actually read

At Sparta, you'll be trusted to take ownership, backed by a team who wants you to succeed. AI is how we build here, not just what we sell. Good ideas move fast, and yours could go from staging to production in a couple of hours, whatever department you're in. You'll be challenged, supported, and given room to grow, building the AI that's changing how commodity trading gets done.
