What You’ll Do:

As a Strategic Business Development Representative, you’ll own the full sales cycle, from prospecting to closing, and help drive our next stage of growth.

  • Prospect with Purpose: Generate, engage, and qualify new leads across multiple channels (phone, email, LinkedIn, video).
  • Close with Confidence: Deliver tailored proposals, negotiate with clarity, and close high-value accounts.
  • Support Client Growth: Partner with Client Success Managers on upsells and renewals while deepening client relationships.
  • Build Strategic Pipelines: Identify ICP-aligned targets and work closely with leadership to refine targeting strategies.
  • Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work with service leads and marketing to build smart, customized solutions.
  • Keep it Clean: Maintain accurate pipeline activity, client data, and notes using our CRM.
  • Represent the Brand: Attend industry events, webinars, and networking opportunities to drive awareness and trust.

What You Bring to the Table:

We’re looking for a confident closer with strong business acumen and a track record of exceeding targets.

  • 5–7 years of B2B sales experience with full-cycle responsibility.
  • Proven success in consultative and solution-based sales.
  • Strong presentation and communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and manage your own pipeline.
  • Experience collaborating with technical or creative teams.
  • Comfortable using CRM systems and modern sales tools (HubSpot, Monday, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, etc.)
  • Bonus: Familiarity with Challenger Sale methodology or similar consultative frameworks.
  • A start-up mentality - resilient, adaptable, and results-driven.

What’s In It For You:

We reward impact, not tenure. Whether you're commission-driven or looking for a hybrid model, we align earnings with results.

  • Base + Performance-Based Commission: Uncapped Earning Potential.
  • Elite Sales Training: 90-day onboarding program with ongoing mentoring from senior leadership.
  • Sales Enablement: Access to sales collateral, proposal templates, lead magnets, case studies, and more.
  • Tools & Tech: Licenses for Apollo, Loom, Sales Navigator, Line2, Monday.com, and Google Workspace.

Our team thrives on big ideas, consistent execution, and a culture of accountability and creativity. We’re passionate about building a team of winners - people who show up, dig deep, and love helping others grow. If that sounds like you, let’s talk.
