About Us
If you think healthcare is broken, we want you. If you think the solution is marrying old-fashioned clinical expertise and new-fashioned telehealth tech, we need you. At Candid, we’re doctors and data geeks, artists and changemakers, care specialists and tech futurists. As we grow our team, we’re looking for people who are as passionate about their craft as they are about changing lives one smile at a time.

On our team, you’ll help make oral health more affordable and accessible than ever before. We believe a life of candid self-expression is a rich life. And our clear aligner therapy helps people across the country straighten their smiles, grow their confidence, and live as their truest selves.

If you're ready to sharpen your skills, have a huge impact, and help solve healthcare, join us.

Role
The Sales Development Representative (SDR) will play a crucial role in driving our business growth by identifying and engaging with potential clients. The primary focus of this role is to conduct physical cold calls (i.e., in-person visits) on a targeted list of prospects, qualify them, and subsequently arrange engaging Lunch-and-Learn sessions (i.e., full sales demos) with our Account Executives and Business Development Representatives. The SDR will be an integral part of our sales cycle, contributing to the expansion of our client base and the success of our clear aligner solutions.
This post is for general interest in future opportunities at Candid as we grow and hire new SDRs across the United States. Please ensure you answer the application questions regarding your location so we can reach out when openings arise in your area. This role is an outside sales role. While we expect overnight travel to be limited, SDRs are expected to be in the field 4 days a week.
