As a Business Development Representative (BDR), you will support our sales team by generating meetings and creating pipelines by identifying and engaging with key prospects at our target accounts. This role offers unique opportunity for advancement and promotion, and we’re looking for someone who is looking to build a career in tech sales.

Research accounts, identify key buyers, and create interest to generate sales opportunities
Build email sequences that drive urgency and engage buyers at key accounts
Attend industry conferences and events

Take notes for account executives and help shepherd deals until closed
You could be a great fit if:
You’re a self-motivated individual who has a history of hitting ambitious targets
You’re comfortable talking with senior executives, and you excel at building long-lasting relationships with prospective customers
1+ years of work experience, either in sales/business development, or finance, consulting, or a related analytical field
Experience balancing multiple priorities and owning challenging targets
Excellent time management skills that can be shared and spread throughout the team
Someone who is energized by navigating ambiguity and can create structure in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
Bonus Skills:
1+ years experience working in sales or customer-facing roles.
Prior Sales/SDR experience at a technology company.
Previous experience working with a technical audience.
Experience using sales productivity tools (e.g. Salesforce, Linkedin, GoogleSuite, Outreach, Apollo)
You might not be a great fit if:
You are located outside of New York
You aren't comfortable with a fast-paced, dynamic environment where priorities can shift quickly.
You prefer a highly structured role with clearly defined tasks and responsibilities.
You prefer to work independently and aren't a strong team player.
You're not passionate about the company's mission and values.
