Job description

Founding Business Development Representative (BDR)

Sales · San Francisco, CA, US · Full-time · Entry level

This is a first sales hire role focused on booking qualified meetings with marketing and brand leaders at consumer companies. A strong candidate has some outbound experience with a meeting target, writes clearly and briefly, and does real homework on each account before reaching out. Persistence through quiet stretches and comfort with cold phone, email, and LinkedIn outreach matter more than polish.

How it fits the AI era

The product itself reads short form video to surface brand sentiment and creator trends, so the seller is pitching an AI tool to marketers. AI tools speed up list building, research, and outreach sequences, which shifts the job toward judgment about which accounts and messages are worth the effort. The human parts stay central: understanding a brand's content, writing a note a senior marketer will answer, and handling live conversations.

How it builds AI experience

Working here means using outbound and AI tools daily to build lists and personalize outreach at speed, and learning how an AI platform turns video content into insight brands pay for. A candidate can build relevant experience by getting hands on with tools like Apollo or Clay, studying how brands and creators perform on short form video, and practicing concise outreach to marketing teams.

Worth showing

• Outbound meeting targets
• Cold phone and email
• Concise writing for marketers
• HubSpot or Salesforce
• Account research before outreach
