Founding Business Development Representative (BDR)

What you’ll do:

• Outbound Prospecting: identify and target high-potential prospects using data-driven strategies to build a qualified pipeline from scratch.

• Playbook Development: build, execute, and iterate on an outbound playbook, including messaging sequences, targeting criteria, and multi-channel outreach (email, LinkedIn, calls).

• GTM Collaboration: partner closely with a GTM engineer to integrate technical tools, automate workflows, and optimize lead generation processes.

• Personalized Engagement: craft highly personalized outbound messaging based on prospect research, industry trends, and technical insights to drive meaningful conversations.

• Meeting Booking: qualify and book high-value discovery calls for the sales team, focusing on expansion opportunities and new logos.

• Building a team: once the outbound motion is established and scalable, take ownership of building and mentoring a team around you to amplify impact.

• CRM Hygiene: keep HubSpot and Apollo data clean and accurate to support forecasting and workflow automation.

• Leadership Alignment: work hand-in-hand with the CEO and CRO to align on growth targets, refine strategies, and report on key metrics.

What you’ll need:

• 4+ years of SDR, BDR, or outbound sales experience (ideally in tech, SaaS, or marketplaces), with a proven track record of building pipelines from zero.

• Experience building and executing outbound playbooks, including client acquisition, reactivation, or expansion in a high-growth environment.

• Some technical skills (e.g., familiarity with sales tech stacks, basic scripting/automation, or understanding of developer ecosystems) to collaborate effectively with GTM engineers.

• Exceptional communication skills (9/10 in both written and spoken English)—clear, concise, persuasive, and customer-savvy, with a focus on high-personalization outreach (no spray-and-pray).

• Proactive, ambitious mindset with a strong desire to scale impact by building and leading a team once processes are proven.

• High emotional intelligence, process-minded approach, and comfort building from scratch in a fast-paced startup.

• Proficiency with tools like HubSpot, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and internal CRMs.

• Ability to work across time zones: most of our clients are in the US.
