About the Role

This role is hybrid, with Friday being a work-from-home/remote day.

You’ll be joining a growing GTM team as a Business Development Representative, working closely with Account Executives to drive new logo acquisition and pipeline growth.

This is a true “hunter” role. You’ll have ownership over your territory and target accounts, with the autonomy to decide who to pursue and how.

Responsibilities

• Owning account planning and territory strategy, identifying and prioritising high-potential prospects.
• Driving outbound activity through a mix of cold calls, LinkedIn outreach, and email to start meaningful conversations.
• Handling inbound leads efficiently while maintaining a strong outbound cadence.
• Working closely with Account Executives to ensure seamless handoffs and strong collaboration on target accounts.
• Staying up to date on AI trends and industry developments to engage prospects with relevant, informed insights.
• Participating in cross-functional projects and initiatives as the GTM motion continues to evolve.
• Maintaining rigorous CRM hygiene and disciplined pipeline management.

Who You Are

• An ambitious BDR with experience in high-growth startup, scale-up, or hyper-growth environments.
• Experience in sales or business development within a SaaS company.
• Confident communicator with strong listening and writing skills, comfortable engaging technical senior stakeholders (CTO, CIO, CDO).
• A self-starter with a strong track record of overachievement and resilience in outbound-heavy roles.
• Deeply pipeline-driven - you live and breathe pipeline generation and understand its impact on revenue.
• Highly organised, disciplined in your processes, and meticulous about CRM usage and prioritization.
• Excited by AI and motivated to build expertise in a fast-moving, technical space
