Business Development Representative (BDR) – Kahuna Workforce Solutions

Kahuna Workforce Solutions is seeking a driven and strategic Business Development Representative (BDR) to join the Kahuna team.

As a BDR focused on the Manufacturing sector, you’ll be the frontline connection between Kahuna and the companies powering the world — helping them discover how our digital skills management platform improves workforce competency, ensures compliance, and drives operational performance across complex, safety‑critical environments.

What You’ll Do

• Engage with inbound leads from the Manufacturing sectors, ensuring timely and personalized follow‑up.
• Prospect into target accounts through tailored outreach (calls, emails, and social selling).
• Qualify opportunities by uncovering customer needs, challenges, and current workforce competency approaches — and map those to Kahuna’s solutions.
• Collaborate with Sales & Marketing to develop messaging, campaigns, and industry‑specific value propositions that resonate with key personas.
• Track, measure, and report on lead quality, conversion rates, and campaign impact to ensure a healthy, high‑performing pipeline.
• Represent Kahuna at key industry events.

What We’re Looking For

• 2–5 years of experience in software sales development, business development, or B2B sales.
• Strong communicator who can build trust quickly with technical and executive stakeholders.
• Driven and resilient self‑starter who thrives in a fast‑paced environment and consistently meets or exceeds targets.
• BA/BS degree and a passion for technology, digital transformation, and workforce enablement.
• Organized, curious, and coachable — eager to grow into a sales or account executive role within a scaling SaaS organization.

Benefits

• Build real‑time visibility into workforce competency and compliance readiness.
• Reduce time to proficiency across field and technical roles.
• Optimize training investments and workforce deployment.

Joining Kahuna Means

• Working with a passionate, purpose‑driven team transforming how global leaders manage their most critical asset — their people.
• Career growth opportunities within a rapidly expanding SaaS company.
• Exposure to cutting‑edge technology that’s enabling the next generation of digital, safe, and skilled workforces.
