Business Development Representative (Former Athletes & Veterans)

New York, NY

*This opportunity is presented by Shift Group on behalf of one of our high-growth FinTech partners.

About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a well-funded, hyper-growth FinTech startup that is modernizing financial workflows and accounts receivable for traditional B2B sectors (such as manufacturing and industrials). Backed by top-tier venture capital firms, they are seeking a highly driven Business Development Representative to create demand and build a robust sales pipeline.

As one of the first members of this team, you will help set the gold standard for their go-to-market motion. We back this expectation with an $85,000 Base and a $115,000 OTE. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love building authentic relationships, and are excited to lay the foundation for a scaling company's success, this is your launchpad.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute the Outbound Engine: Drive intense, high-volume prospecting (executing 120+ cold calls and 40+ tailored emails daily) to qualify leads and generate pipeline.
• Command the Discovery: Lead initial discovery conversations and deliver tailored product presentations that directly address the prospect's specific business challenges.
• Pipeline Management: Build and maintain an accurate, healthy sales pipeline using modern CRM tools (like HubSpot) to ensure reliable forecasting.
• Market Expansion: Develop strategic account plans to drive revenue within mid-market targets and represent the brand at industry networking events.
• Cross-Functional Impact: Provide critical frontline feedback to product and marketing teams to continuously refine messaging and GTM strategies.

Qualifications

• The Mindset: An absolute ownership mentality with a deep curiosity and eagerness to learn in a rapidly changing, dynamic environment.
• The Execution: Exceptional communication skills across all channels (phone, email, in-person) and a proven ability to build authentic connections and collaborate with teammates.
• The Experience: Comfortable operating in a high-velocity environment where priorities can shift quickly (the resilience and adaptability gained from your military or athletic background have prepared you perfectly for this).
