Our client is hiring their first Business Development Representative to help build pipeline from the ground up. This is a unique opportunity to get in early, shape outbound strategy, and directly impact growth.

- 1–3 years of experience in a sales, BDR, or customer-facing role
- Comfortable with outbound prospecting and not afraid to pick up the phone
- Experience running CRM systems and managing outreach campaigns
- Highly self-motivated and able to work independently in a remote environment
- Strong communication skills and willingness to experiment with messaging
- Interest in or understanding of the nonprofit / giving ecosystem is a plus
- A builder mindset—you’re excited about creating process, not just following it
- Mission-driven work: Be part of a team focused on unlocking greater generosity and impact
- Ground-floor opportunity: Help define the sales motion at an early-stage organization
- Flexibility-first culture: Fully remote with a focus on outcomes over activity
