Business Development Representative (BDR)

Lumi AI is a fast growing, venture-backed startup with a mission to help companies find value hidden in their raw data. Our platform enables data teams to offer self-service analytics via natural language prompting, allowing non-technical business users to extract highly specific insights inaccessible through centralized dashboards, freeing up data teams for more strategic work. You can think of Lumi as your personal data analyst AI available 24/7.

Lumi AI was founded by leaders from the data, AI, and tech industry and backed by top investors from Silicon Valley, New York and around the world. We believe in innovation, fun, a strong work culture, and building a world-class team. At Lumi, we are continually pushing the boundaries of what’s possible to better serve our clients and revolutionize the tech landscape.

About the Role

Additionally, you’ll support marketing initiatives like campaigns and events to expand our reach and strengthen brand visibility.

This is a ground-floor opportunity for someone with management and growth ambitions to not only contribute to a fast-growing AI startup but also help shape the sales playbook and influence Lumi’s outbound strategy as we scale. If you’re hungry to grow, take ownership, and make an impact, we’d love to hear from you.
