Business Development Representative

MaintainX is part of Autodesk and a key component of Autodesk Operations Solutions, the organization bringing together Autodesk’s capabilities across the full asset lifecycle. Its mobile-first work execution platform helps industrial and frontline teams manage maintenance, assets, and day-to-day operations. Together, these solutions advance Autodesk’s strategy to connect design, make, and operate in one continuous lifecycle.

The Role

You will be the first person a prospect ever talks to at Autodesk. Your job is to find the plant managers, maintenance supervisors, and operations leads at industrial companies who have a real problem we can solve, and get them in front of an Account Executive before someone else does.

• Run 70 to 100 outbound calls daily to maintenance and operations decision-makers at industrial companies across North America
• Build multi-touch sequences via phone, email, and LinkedIn that earn responses by speaking to real operational problems, not generic scripts
• Qualify prospects quickly and book meetings for Account Executives, focusing on companies where Autodesk can drive measurable impact
• Keep your pipeline accurate in Salesforce and follow up on every open thread without being prompted
• Partner with AEs to understand what is converting and sharpen your targeting and approach over time

At 6 months, success looks like consistent SQL attainment above 90% and a repeatable outbound motion you can defend. At 12 months, the best BDRs on this team are on a path to a closing role.

You Have

• Experience in a high-volume, rejection-heavy environment: sales, recruiting, hospitality, retail, or anything that built your resilience and ability to earn trust fast
• A genuine drive to pick up the phone: outbound call volume is the job
• Clear, polished written and verbal communication in English
• Demonstrated follow-through: you own your pipeline and your numbers without being prompted
• Bachelor's degree

Nice to have: experience with Salesforce, Outreach, ZoomInfo, or Nooks; prior B2B or SaaS sales experience

Chargé(e) du développement commercial

MaintainX fait partie d’Autodesk et constitue un élément clé d’Autodesk Operations Solutions, l’organisation qui regroupe les capacités d’Autodesk tout au long du cycle de vie complet des actifs. Sa plateforme d’exécution des tâches, axée sur le mobile, aide les équipes industrielles et de terrain à gérer la maintenance, les actifs et les opérations quotidiennes. Ensemble, ces solutions font progresser la stratégie d’Autodesk visant à relier la conception, la fabrication et l’exploitation au sein d’un cycle de vie continu.

Le poste

Vous serez la première personne à qui un prospect s’adressera chez Autodesk. Votre mission consiste à identifier les directeurs d’usine, les responsables de maintenance et les responsables des opérations au sein d’entreprises industrielles confrontés à un véritable problème que nous pouvons résoudre, et à les mettre en relation avec un chargé de compte avant que quelqu’un d’autre ne le fasse.

• Passer quotidiennement entre 70 et 100 appels sortants à l’intention des décideurs en matière de maintenance et d’exploitation au sein d’entreprises industrielles à travers l’Amérique du Nord
• Mettre en place des séquences de contact multiples par téléphone, e-mail et LinkedIn qui suscitent des réponses en abordant de véritables problèmes opérationnels, et non des scripts génériques
• Qualifier rapidement les prospects et organiser des rendez-vous pour les chargés de compte, en privilégiant les entreprises où Autodesk peut avoir un impact mesurable
• Maintenir la précision de votre pipeline dans Salesforce et assurer le suivi de chaque piste ouverte sans qu’on vous le demande
• Collaborer avec les chargés de compte pour comprendre ce qui génère des conversions et affiner votre ciblage et votre approche au fil du temps

Au bout de 6 mois, la réussite se traduit par un taux de qualification des prospects (SQL) supérieur à 90 % et un processus d’appels sortants reproductible que vous pouvez justifier. Au bout de 12 mois, les meilleurs BDR de cette équipe sont en passe d’accéder à un poste de clôture de ventes.

Vous possédez

• Une expérience dans un environnement à fort volume et où les refus sont fréquents : vente, recrutement, hôtellerie, commerce de détail, ou tout autre domaine ayant renforcé votre résilience et votre capacité à gagner rapidement la confiance des autres
• Une véritable motivation à décrocher le téléphone : le volume d’appels sortants est au cœur de votre mission
• Une communication écrite et orale claire et soignée en anglais
• Une capacité avérée à aller jusqu’au bout des choses : vous gérez votre pipeline et vos chiffres de manière autonome, sans qu’on ait à vous le rappeler
• Un diplôme de licence

Atouts appréciés : expérience avec Salesforce, Outreach, ZoomInfo ou Nooks ; expérience préalable dans la vente B2B ou SaaS
