Sales Development Representative

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are at the core of our mission to strengthen and empower the communities we serve.

Adpearance is a Portland-based, results-driven digital marketing agency that helps businesses to generate the most sales opportunities possible. We’re well known as the best in automotive and are successfully expanding to more verticals, too.

But that’s what we do. Anyone who is applying deserves to know who we are.

We are the Nerdherd. A group of people who have an innate desire to connect with something bigger than ourselves-- both professionally and personally. Who love to solve problems. Who see the beauty of the mind. We know we’re a part of something special and want to attract curious minds to make our performance, company, and culture better. The three words our employees most frequently use to describe working at Adpearance: Welcoming. Challenging. Fun.

If that sounds like the kind of company you want to be a part of, there’s good news. We’re hiring for a Sales Development Representative.
