Job description

At Avalon Holographics, we’re replicating reality! We move fast, think big, and push boundaries to build something groundbreaking.

We’re building the world’s most advanced holographic display, transforming how industries like medical, defense, and entertainment experience visual content. No headsets, no glasses, just incredibly lifelike, 3D visuals.

Doing something that’s never been done before takes an exceptional team! As a fast-growing startup, we know our people are our greatest asset. That’s why we offer a competitive salary with full pay transparency, employee stock options (granted by the company), and other great perks. Every team member plays a key role in our success, and we’re committed to making sure you’re supported, rewarded, and empowered to thrive.

As we continue to scale, we’re looking for a Business Development Representative who’s ready to roll up their sleeves and help bring game-changing technology to the world! This role goes beyond generating leads, it’s about finding the right customers, understanding their challenges, and showing how Avalon can be the solution they didn’t know existed. It’s fast-paced, full of ambiguity, and incredibly rewarding for someone who’s energized by building trust and traction in new markets.

What You’ll Do

• Work closely with our Team Defense to understand sector priorities and shape strategic relationships.
• Focus on identifying and qualifying new leads, especially in complex sectors such as national security and government.
• Map organizations, identify decision-makers, and develop tailored outreach strategies.
• Collaborate with Sales and Marketing to refine messaging and drive go-to-market campaigns.
• Represent Avalon at trade shows, demos, and industry events, with frequent U.S. travel.
• Engage with potential customers to uncover pain points and position our technology as the solution.
• Turn product questions and objections into valuable insights and new opportunities.
• Follow up with intent, adapt quickly, and help shape how we go to market.
  
  

What You’ll Need to Succeed

• A Bachelor’s degree in business, marketing, or a related field — or equivalent experience in a customer-facing or business development-driven role, ideally in a start-up environment.
• A self-starter mindset — you’re proactive, resourceful, and not afraid to figure things out as you go.
• A relationship-first approach to business development — you listen well, build trust quickly, and deliver on promises.
• Experience working in or selling to defense/government sectors is a strong asset (especially in operations, procurement, or technical systems).
• Confidence in technical conversations and a talent for translating complex ideas into clear value.
• Comfortable navigating long sales cycles and high-stakes customer conversations.
• Strong organization, clear communication, and the ability to thrive in a dynamic environment.
• Willingness and ability to travel frequently across the U.S. for meetings and events.
  
  

This position can be based in any of the locations listed above and will require significant travel across the United States to our NOVAC and customer locations.

Why Join Avalon Holographics?

• Innovation at the Core – Work on cutting-edge technology and play a key role in shaping the future of holographic displays.
• Collaborative Culture – Join a team of passionate, innovative professionals who value creativity, teamwork, and pushing boundaries.
• Autonomy & Ownership – Enjoy the freedom to take initiative, explore new ideas, and drive meaningful outcomes.
• Professional Growth – Gain hands-on experience, engage in continuous learning, and develop your skills in a fast-moving industry.
• Meaningful Work – Contribute to a mission that’s transforming industries and redefining how people experience visual technology.
• Work-Life Balance – Benefit from flexible work policies that support your well-being.
• Competitive Compensation – We offer competitive salaries, employee stock option grants, and 100% employer-paid health and dental benefits. We also offer parental leave top up, so you can share in our success while taking care of what matters most.
