Job summary

LightSource is building the first BDR function to fuel its procurement SaaS platform. You will own the outbound and inbound motion from scratch, designing messaging, sequencing, and multi-threaded outreach, while hitting aggressive activity and meeting quotas.

You’ll work with modern stacks (HubSpot, Apollo, Outreach, Clay, AI tools) and partner with Account Executives to scale top-of-funnel growth. Leadership interest and ownership are encouraged.

Qualifications

  • You’re not looking to follow a script — you want to write it.
  • You’ve been in the top 10% of performers and want more ownership.
  • You’re excited to build the outbound and inbound machine from scratch.
  • You understand that quality requires quantity (150+ dials per week).
  • You’re disciplined with metrics but lead with empathy.
  • You know how to build pipeline using modern sales tools at scale.
  • You look to AI and automation to multiply output, not just increase effort.
  • You want responsibility, impact, and a path toward leadership.

Responsibilities

  • Build the outbound playbook from scratch — messaging, sequencing, targeting, and multi-threading strategies.
  • Drive top-of-funnel growth for our Account Executives.
  • Design and implement our inbound qualification process as marketing scales.
  • Consistently hit and exceed activity and meeting quotas.
  • Partner closely with AEs and leadership to align on weighted pipeline goals.
  • Leverage modern sales stacks to maximize efficiency.
  • Help hire and mentor future BDRs as the team grows.
