    About this role

    About Arkestro

    Arkestro’s Predictive Procurement Platform applies AI, game theory, and behavioral science to enterprise negotiations. It moves teams away from reactive supplier bidding toward data-driven offers that reduce friction and help both buyers and suppliers reach better outcomes faster.

    Arkestro helps procurement teams influence more enterprise spend and uncover savings that traditional sourcing approaches often leave behind by applying predictive intelligence to how sourcing events are designed and executed.

    We’re a hyper-growth company looking for people who take ownership and are comfortable working through complexity. This is a tremendous opportunity if you want to do meaningful work and help shape how large enterprises run procurement… Arkestro is a place where you can have a big impact.

    Role Insights

    Sales Development roles are ideal stepping stones — top SDRs typically promote to AE within 12-18 months.

    Expect to work with recurring revenue models where customer retention is as important as acquisition.

    Remote positions in sales offer flexibility but require strong self-discipline and proactive communication with distributed teams.
