Business Development Representative
- Permanent
- New York, 10025
- $65,000 to $70,000 Per Year
About the Role
We’re partnering with a well-funded Series A software company building an AI-native platform for a large, complex market. The product helps commercial teams make sense of fragmented public-sector data, identify opportunities earlier and run more effective outbound and sales workflows.
You’ll join a small, ambitious sales team and focus on generating qualified pipeline through high-volume, thoughtful outbound. This is a strong fit for someone early in their B2B sales career who wants responsibility quickly and a clear route toward an Account Executive role.
What You'll Do
- Running outbound prospecting across cold calls, email and other channels
- Researching target accounts and identifying the right decision makers and champions
- Building personalised outbound campaigns, including using AI-enabled sales tools
- Conducting initial discovery and qualifying opportunities
- Developing strong knowledge of the market and the customers you’re selling to
- Working closely with the wider sales team to generate and convert pipeline
What We're Looking For
- At least 6 months of full-time outbound BDR/SDR experience, ideally within B2B software
- Comfortable with cold calling and proactive outbound prospecting
- Strong business acumen and the ability to identify the right stakeholders within an account
- Able to research accounts and create relevant, personalized outreach rather than relying only on high-volume sequences
- Comfortable using CRM, sales-engagement and prospecting tools; experience using AI tools for outbound is desirable
- Strong communication skills and confidence running early-stage discovery conversations
- Ambitious and keen to progress quickly into a closing role
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, early-stage environment
