If that’s bubbly, shy, precise, funny, bold, kind, honest, brilliant, or anything in between, we’re waiting with open arms. Come join us.

Position Summary

Business Development Reps (BDRs) at HiBob play an important part in the growth of our organisation as we expand and scale. Through collaboration with our marketing team to execute campaigns, our team builds the top end of our revenue funnel by prospecting and communicating with potential customers everyday.

About you

We’re looking for a coachable individual seeking an opportunity that will give professional growth in sales in a scaling organisation.
