About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Drive pipeline: run outbound sequences, prospect target accounts, hold discovery conversations, and drive sales-accepted opportunities. The motion gets proven by you doing it, not by you managing someone else doing it.
Build the systems the motion runs on: outbound scripts and talk tracks, sequencing strategy, persona definitions and account segments, inbound qualification criteria, discovery framework, and sales engagement tooling configuration. Build them by running, testing, and optimizing.
Own outbound sequencing strategy. Work with Technical Product Marketing to ensure the messaging in outbound matches the master framework. Work with Demand Generation on integration into broader campaigns.
Own inbound qualification in partnership with MOPs and Demand Gen. Define the criteria, manage the SLA on response time, and own the activation.
Partner with Marketing Operations on routing, sequencing and tooling, and reporting on BDR-sourced pipeline.
Partner with sales leadership on account prioritization, lead acceptance criteria, and the handoff motion.
Run the feedback loop. BDR conversations are a free intelligence stream on objections, language, and competitive positioning. Capture it and route it back to Marketing.
Hit pipeline targets. BDR performance is measured in sales-accepted opportunities and pipeline creation, not how many cold calls you made.
Build and operate AI-accelerated workflows across the BDR motion - prospect research, account intelligence, sequence personalization, conversation analysis, objection-handling pattern detection. AI accelerates the rep; AI does not replace the rep.

Requirements

What you’ll need

6+ years in BDR or sales development roles.
Demonstrated track record of hitting outbound pipeline targets at a B2B technology company.
Experience with sales engagement platforms (Outreach, Salesloft), CRM (Salesforce), and conversation intelligence tools (Gong, Chorus).
Self-directed builder and strong coaching muscle – the ability to do the core work while also leading others to better performance and outcomes.
Demonstrated practice using AI tools in the BDR workflow - prospect research, personalization at scale, call analysis. We will ask what you have built and where you draw the line between AI assistance and rep judgment.
Comfort partnering with sales leadership on shared targets and shared workflow.
Comfort with technical AI subject matter - enough to listen to a discovery call and know whether the rep handled the technical objections correctly.
Experience in dual-use environments, and proven ability to navigate the complexities and unique requirements (and limitations) of both.
