Who we are
At Arketa, our mission is simple: to increase global access to wellness. We’re revolutionizing the wellness industry with an all-in-one software platform that empowers fitness studios to reach more people - through in-person classes, livestreams, on-demand content, or even retail sales.
Arketa builds branded websites and apps that allow studios to grow their brand across every digital touchpoint, effortlessly blending passion with technology.
Backed by top investors like First Round Capital and YC, we are expanding rapidly. We’re looking for driven individuals to join our fully remote team as we scale. If you’re passionate about wellness and want to be part of something transformative, this is the place for you.
We’re a remote team, and we’re looking for people who want to inspire and empower a healthier world.
The Role:
As a Sales Development Representative (SDR), you’ll be the first point of contact for prospective customers, using creative outreach methods to introduce them to Arketa and demonstrate how we can help their business thrive.
You’ll focus on small and mid-sized wellness studios & entrepreneurs, driving outbound sales through phone calls, emails, social media messaging, and other innovative approaches. Your goal will be to build the initial connections with potential clients while managing your pipeline meticulously.
In this role, you’ll spend around 4 hours each day reaching out to wellness studios over the phone, building relationships, and sharing how Arketa can transform their business. This hands-on outreach is a crucial part of driving our mission forward—and is perfect for someone who loves engaging with people, thrives on real conversations, and is excited to make a tangible impact every day.
You’ll help AE’s get context on each potential customer and help ensure that each customer has a delightful experience with Arketa from beginning to end.
If you thrive on connecting with people, love fitness, and are eager to grow your career into an Account Executive (AE) role, this is your chance to make an impact.
