Engine is seeking a Sales Development Representative (SDR) to join our dynamic team in Chicago, Illinois. As an AI-native platform for intelligent travel, Engine has been at the forefront of modern business travel solutions for over a decade, serving more than 40,000 customers and nearly 2 million travelers.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to our rapid growth and redefine how businesses manage and experience travel.
In this role, you will be responsible for generating and qualifying new sales opportunities through high-volume outbound calls, prospecting, and other outreach efforts.
