Job description

If you’re seeking a career where innovation meets impact, you’ve come to the right place. As a global leader, Sovos is transforming tax compliance from a business requirement to a force for growth while revolutionising how businesses navigate the ever-changing regulatory landscape.

At Sovos, we’re dedicated to more than just solving compliance challenges – we’re committed to making a positive and lasting difference in everything we do. Our teams operate on the modern edge of digital technology, working not only to solve complex business challenges but also to enrich our personal, professional, and local communities.

Our purpose-built systems provide the tools you need to thrive in a world where governments demand increased visibility, faster reporting and greater control over business processes. Excited about the possibilities? So are we!

Don’t worry if you don't check all the boxes – We’re focused on hiring the right people, not just the "right" resume. It's not about what you've done elsewhere; it's all about what you're capable of doing here.

The Work You’ll Do:

At Sovos, we’re looking for a Business Development Representative to be the driving force behind building market demand for our industry-leading compliance solutions. This is a high-energy, high-impact role where you’ll connect with potential customers, uncover opportunities, and set the stage for meaningful business relationships — working at the intersection of sales and marketing to turn leads into conversations and conversations into qualified opportunities for our sales team.

More specifically you will:

• Work directly with prospective customers to identify and develop sales opportunities, achieving daily, weekly, and monthly activity targets whilst meeting and exceeding pipeline creation and revenue quotas.
• Effectively qualify inbound leads and leverage AI tools to provide high-quality opportunities for the sales team, ensuring a strong handoff to Account Executives.
• Partner with Account Executives to identify and execute territory plans, autonomously managing multiple priorities and actively driving effective pipeline development.
• Execute a formalised business development process with consistency and creativity, adapting your approach to engage confidently with mid-level and executive contacts.
• Recommend improvements to business development strategies, processes, documents, and tools to benefit internal teams and external prospects, drawing on data insights and AI-assisted workflows where applicable.

What We Need From You:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience, with fluency in Spanish (both verbal and written).
• Minimum of 0-12 months as a successful Business Development Representative or equivalent success in a BDR role, with proven history of achieving and exceeding monthly quotas for dials, appointments, and opportunities.
• Strong team player with a collaborative mindset, exceptional communication skills (written, verbal, and presentation), and the ability to present to groups of all sizes.
• Self-motivated and quick to learn new concepts and technologies, with comfort using AI-assisted workflows and modern sales tools to drive productivity.
• Proficiency with contact management solutions (e.g. Salesforce.com) and Microsoft Office suite, with strong planning, organising, and multi-tasking abilities.
• Creative problem-solving abilities with an assertive, persistent approach to outreach and a genuine desire to learn and improve.
• Due to client contractual obligations, the successful candidate will be asked to clear a background check upon hire.
