About The Role

We’re hiring a Senior Business Development Representative (BDR) to drive pipeline for Digimarc’s digital watermarking solutions. Reporting to the Manager of Business Development, you’ll own early-stage sales—from outbound prospecting through qualified opportunity handoff. This is a high-impact role for a self-sufficient BDR who can run discovery, qualify using MEDDPICC, and build multi-threaded relationships with minimal oversight. You’re fluent in modern prospecting tools (Salesforce, Gong, ZoomInfo) and use AI (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) to research, personalize outreach, and scale your output. Travel: ~10%

What You Will Do

• Generate qualified pipeline through targeted outbound (phone, email, social, events)
• Identify and prioritize accounts based on ICP, use cases, and buyer pain
• Run initial discovery and qualify opportunities using MEDDPICC
• Capture and document key stakeholders (champion, economic buyer, decision criteria) for clean handoff to Account Directors
• Build and multi-thread relationships across key accounts
• Partner closely with Account Directors to progress opportunities
• Create and iterate outbound cadences using Gong and performance data
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate research, personalize messaging, and build repeatable workflows
• Maintain high-quality CRM hygiene in Salesforce (activities, contacts, next steps)
• Stay current on industry trends, competitive landscape, and messaging
• Mentor junior BDRs as needed

What We Are Looking For

• 1–2+ years of SDR/BDR experience
• Experience qualifying deals and navigating stakeholders (champion, economic buyer, etc.)
• Familiarity with MEDDPICC or similar sales methodology
• Experience with sales tools: Salesforce, ZoomInfo, Gong, HubSpot, Sales Navigator
• Proven ability to use AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) to improve prospecting efficiency and quality
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to engage senior stakeholders
• Comfortable in a high-activity, outbound environment (phone-first mindset)
• Coachable, adaptable, and accountable to activity and pipeline metrics
• Collaborative, team-oriented approach to pipeline generation

Benefits

• Comprehensive Benefits Including Medical, Dental, Vision, & Retirement Savings Plan
• Restricted Stock Units
• Flexible Paid Time Off & Holidays
• Life Insurance
• Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
• Mentorship Opportunities
• Training & Development
