Build the Future with Us — EquipmentShare is Hiring a Sales Development Associate
EquipmentShare is searching for a Sales Development Associate based in Denver, CO to support our team as it continues to grow.
EquipmentShare is seeking a Sales Development Associate to be responsible for driving revenue growth by supporting the sales team, developing customer relationships, and ensuring a seamless rental experience. This role serves as a bridge between inside sales operations and outside sales, helping to grow market share by identifying and nurturing new business opportunities while providing outstanding customer service. It is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to develop into a Territory Account Manager (TAM) role in the future.
The Sales Development Associate program will be based in Denver, Colorado, where associates will receive hands-on training, mentorship, and development alongside our sales leadership and local teams. Candidates must currently reside in the Denver area or be willing to relocate to Denver for the duration of the program.
The SDA program is designed to prepare associates for future Territory Account Manager opportunities. Based on individual readiness, performance, business needs, and available opportunities, an SDA may transition into a TAM role as they progress through the program. Future TAM opportunities may be located in markets throughout EquipmentShare's footprint, so candidates should be geographically mobile and open to relocation following the program.
Salary range: $60,000–$65,000/yr. Factors including past experience and location may affect final compensation rate.

- Proactively engage with customers to identify rental needs and provide solutions that align with their projects.

- Communicate effectively with the service team to ensure customer satisfaction and resolve issues promptly.
- Assist in managing inventory and fleet availability to match customer demand.
- Utilize EquipmentShare’s technology and CRM tools to track sales activity, customer interactions, and rental transactions.
