Overview:

We are building cloud-based tax compliance solutions to handle every transaction in the world. Imagine every transaction you make - every tank of gas, cup of coffee, or pair of sneakers, every movie ticket, or streamed song, every sensor-to-sensor ping. Nearly every time you make a purchase, physical or digital, there is an accompanying unique and nuanced tax compliance calculation.

Avalara is looking for Account Development Representatives (ADRs) to identify net new prospects and high value opportunities through outbound prospecting.

The function of an ADR serves as an important part of our sales process. This position is designed to provide the opportunity for skill progression and promotion into a full-cycle sales role and will be the beginning of your career with a growing SaaS company.
