Also useful

  • SaaS sales
  • AI products

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Build pipeline daily through cold calls, DMs, emails, events, and referrals. Leaders still lead from the front.
  • Own inbound and outbound opportunities and help move deals forward.
  • Run discovery calls and demos with prospective customers.
  • Work directly with founders and GTM leadership to sharpen messaging, positioning, and outbound strategy.
  • Test new prospecting motions, messaging frameworks, and growth channels.
  • Help build and document the outbound playbook as we scale.
  • Turn customer conversations into actionable feedback for the team.

This is more than a quota-carrying role. Success looks like

  • Generating meaningful pipeline yourself.
  • Spotting opportunities to improve how the team operates.
  • Refining our outbound strategy and messaging.
  • Creating systems that make future reps more successful.
  • Becoming a trusted partner to founders on go-to-market decisions.

We’re looking for someone who wants to help build the machine, not just operate it.

Player-Coach Responsibilities

You’ll be one of the leaders on the team. That means

  • Helping newer BDRs improve their outreach, calls, and prospecting.
  • Sharing what’s working and raising the performance level of the team.
  • Acting as a bridge between founders and the BDR team.
  • Communicating priorities, feedback, and best practices.
  • Leading by example through your own execution.

This is not a management role, but it is a leadership role.

Qualifications

  • 1-2 years of experience
  • You don’t wait for direction. You create it.
  • You care about building systems, not just hitting numbers.
  • You enjoy helping others improve.
  • You can think strategically while still executing at a high level.
  • You thrive in fast-moving environments.
  • You want meaningful ownership over how a company grows.
  • Bonus if you’ve sold SaaS, infrastructure, or AI products.

Additional information

Most Senior BDR roles just hand you a bigger quota. This one gives you direct influence over strategy, process, messaging, and team development. If your goal is to become a founding AE, sales leader, or GTM operator, this is the kind of role that compresses years of experience into months.
