Founding BDR

About the Role

This is a Founding BDR role at a fast-growing AI recruitment platform that connects top talent directly with venture-backed startups. As one of the earliest business hires on a small team, you'll work directly with the founders to build the outbound engine from the ground up — with a clear track to closing your own deals as an AE.

What You'll Do

• Source new sales opportunities through inbound qualification and outbound outreach campaigns.

• Qualify prospects using a consultative selling approach.

• Build and manage mid-market and enterprise pipelines, including forecasting and progression toward close.

• Design, test, and iterate on outbound motions and GTM marketing experiments with measurable pipeline impact.

• Maintain accurate CRM data on client relationships and activity.

• Grow into a closing AE role as the sales org scales.

What We're Looking For

• 1–5 years of experience as a top-performing SDR/BDR and/or AE at a high-velocity startup or in finance.

• Proven track record of consistently beating quota and earning quick promotions.

• Hands-on experience designing and executing outbound lead generation programs with measurable pipeline impact.

• Experience building and managing mid-market and/or enterprise sales pipelines.

• History of landing cold outbound opportunities that seemed out of reach — resourcefulness is a must.

• Something distinctive on your record: a side project, competition win, or outsized achievement that sets you apart.

• High clockspeed, creative thinking, and a bias for building process and structure that saves time.
