Business Development Representative

About Orita 

Direct-to-consumer brands pay us, in order to market less. Well, technically, they pay us to market more effectively. And, strangely (!), that often means marketing a lot less.

How? We use a lot of math and a lot of machine learning to decide which people on their subscriber lists actually want to hear from them right now.

When you do this, two things happen. Brands save a ton of money. And their deliverability improves (hello inbox, goodbye spam filter!).

Fewer messages sent + higher chance they will be seen = ROI goes way up.

Sounds simple, right? Well, it’s not. You try getting marketers to be less market-y. It’s way easier to “play it safe” and email everyone all the time. Our math has to be that good. And it is.

For marketers or business owners passionate about their customers and messaging, it can be tough to let go and trust something as personal as their customer list and email sending to a bunch of algorithms and machines. Luckily, at Orita, it’s our goal to make sure our customers know we have their backs and go above and beyond to earn their trust. 

That’s where you come in. If you have started your career as a BDR and are looking to take the next step, this may be your role. Your forte is being obsessed with brands and digging into their marketing strategies. You can think creatively, build personalized, memorable communications, and foster trust by organizing yourself around driving leads. You love being proactive and putting customers first. You’re the type of person who gets excited about testing different strategies and likes the thrill of the win. You want to join a team where you can grow! You move fast, carefully, and own your work.

• Research prospects to understand their tech stack, marketing channels, and content strategies at a high level.
