About the Role
This role sits at the intersection of pipeline generation and early-stage closing motion, purpose-built for BDRs who have proven they can create opportunities and are ready to learn how to close them. You'll continue owning IB/OB pipeline creation while co-selling alongside your assigned RSM on select opportunities, developing the full-cycle sales skills needed to step into an RSM seat.
This role is remote and open throughout all Torq locations.

We build AI for a living, and we encourage candidates to use it to prep, research, and sharpen their best work. But we're hiring humans, not chatbots. We want the real you. Use AI to tighten your resume, prep for interviews, research Torq, and outline ideas for written responses. Show up as yourself for live interviews, final assessments (the voice, logic, and reasoning need to be yours), and anywhere we're evaluating how you think — not how you prompt.
Excited about our vision and ready to make an impact as we grow? We'd love to see what you can bring to the team.
