All hires start as SDR Level 1, with a starting OTE of $96,000.00. Progression through our four-level SDR career path is based on performance, with compensation increasing at each level. High performers can reach the top of the range within ~18 months through promotion.

This role includes variable compensation with accelerators, creating upside above OTE. Total compensation also includes equity and a comprehensive benefits package.

We have noticed a rise in recruiting impersonations across the industry, where scammers attempt to access candidates' personal and financial information through fake interviews and offers. All Cresta recruiting email communications will always come from the @cresta.ai domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Cresta via other sources should be ignored.  If you are uncertain whether you have been contacted by an official Cresta employee, reach out to [email protected]
