Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Synthesia sits in a distinctive corner of the SaaS ecosystem: AI-native software aimed at modernizing how enterprises create and distribute video content. Featuring an SDR role at a company building a platform (rather than a single-service offering) highlights how SaaS growth is often driven by educating the market, qualifying intent, and translating a new workflow into clear business outcomes.
For a SaaS sales career, SDR work like this builds durable fundamentals: pipeline discipline, messaging iteration across channels, and tight coordination between marketing and Account Executives. The listing signals exposure to inbound demand, multi-touch prospecting, and structured handoffs—core mechanics that transfer across B2B SaaS, especially in categories where product understanding and use-case clarity matter as much as volume.
This role tends to suit early-career professionals who want to develop strong commercial habits and comfort with measurable targets in an office-based environment in New York City. It also fits candidates who enjoy combining research, written outreach, and live conversations, and who are motivated by becoming fluent in a product category that is still taking shape in many enterprise teams.
The section above is editorial commentary from The SaaS Jobs, provided to help SaaS professionals understand the role in a broader industry context.
