About the role

We are looking for a hungry go-getter as our Business Development Associate who is gritty and resilient in pursuing potential business relationships. You’ll be joining a small, fast-growing startup where you can focus on your personal and professional development as we expand how people think about the future of work.

About you

We can’t wait to work with someone who is…. 

• Ambitious and ready to make a difference on day one!
• Tactical in lead scraping and has a good nose for sniffing out opportunities for Rise
• A growth driver who is excited about building and creating lasting relationships with new and existing clients
• A masterful communicator who can craft and design how we communicate our mission and value to partners
• A self-starter! Our team is right here to work alongside you and we want to see you take on initiatives proactively.
• Comfortable with ambiguity. Our goals are endless, and we need someone who is excited to be along for the ride!

• Represent the best of Rise and communicate our mission effectively

Why work with Rise 

We are an entirely remote and distributed team – and big believers in workplace flexibility. If you need to duck out to run an errand, of course, we know that life is more important. Although we’re still quite small, we’re committed to building a strong culture from day one. We succeed when you succeed, tell us what you want to do next, and we’ll do our dang best to get you there. As a team, we’re dreamers who know how to get down to business; we do Thankful Thursdays every week, virtual team events every month, and as avid travelers, we try to do an offsite quarterly (last one was in Playa Del Carmen Mexico!) to collaborate in person. We think work should be fun, engaging, and fulfilling. This sounds like you, we welcome you to join us on this journey.
