Job description

Business Development Representative

New York, NY (In-Office) · Full-Time

About Firefly:

If you haven’t yet, check out what we’re building.

Firefly exists to solve one of the defining challenges of the modern day: physical safety in the places we work, learn, and live.

Physical safety has relied on a patchwork of disjointed legacy tools. The result is fragmented information, communication gaps, and slower emergency response, making it harder to keep people safe and get help when it matters most.

Firefly is replacing these tools with a unified, AI-native platform that helps organizations understand their environment, coordinate action, and initiate response. We combine intelligent software with a thoughtfully-designed hardware suite to bring consumer-grade experiences to one of the world's largest and most important industries.

About the role:

As a Business Development Representative at Firefly, you’ll play a foundational role in our go-to-market motion. You’ll spend your time engaging with prospects, discovering and qualifying new sales opportunities, and becoming a true product evangelist.

This is a high-impact role with real ownership. You will own our outbound motion, partnering closely with sales leadership, engineering, and marketing to shape our product roadmap, brand messaging, and sales process.

What You'll Do:

• Run high-volume, personalized outreach sequences across email, phone, and LinkedIn, adapting your approach based on what resonates with target audiences.

• Collaborate closely with AEs, engineering, and marketing to share prospect insights and shape the product roadmap.

• Help build and refine our outbound messaging and sales cycle frameworks.

• Represent Firefly at industry conferences and events, building relationships with safety decision-makers and industry partners.

What We're Looking For:

Background & Experience

• 1-3 years of experience as an SDR or similar customer-facing role.

• Experience handling multi-channel, high-volume outbound motions.

• Comfortable with cold calling and spending a meaningful part of each day reaching out to new prospects by phone.

• Familiarity with sales tools: CRM (Attio), sequencing platforms (Amplemarket, HeyReach, Instantly), LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Clay.

Exceptional candidates may also

• Have prior exposure to SLED (state, local, and education) sales.

• Have previous work experience in physical safety or security industry.

About you

• Mission-oriented: genuinely motivated by the problem we’re solving and the people we serve. You care deeply about the work and our customers and bring this conviction to your role every day.

• Curious, coachable, and comfortable learning fast and experimenting in an early-stage environment.

• Exceptional communicator who can engage senior stakeholders.

• Genuinely excited to help build and execute the sales motion at a formative stage.

This is an in-office role based in our New York City office.
