At Huzzle, we connect exceptional talent with top opportunities at leading companies across the UK, US, Canada, Europe, and Australia.

Our clients include startups, digital agencies, and tech platforms in industries such as SaaS, MarTech, FinTech, and EdTech.

Unlike an outsourcing agency, we place you directly with a client where you're hired in-house as a valued member of their team.

About the Role

As a Business Development Representative (BDR), your primary focus is to generate pipeline by identifying, engaging, and qualifying potential clients through outbound outreach.

You'll be responsible for initiating conversations, understanding prospect needs, and booking meetings for Account Executives.

Qualify inbound and outbound leads to assess fit and buying intent.

Use CRM systems such as HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive to manage and track leads.

Set up meetings and hand off qualified opportunities to Account Executives.

Maintain detailed records of activities and regularly report KPIs to sales leadership.

Collaborate with marketing and sales teams to improve messaging and conversion rates.

Requirements

Experience : 2+ years in B2B Sales, Business Development, Cold Calling, or Outbound Messaging.
