Business Development Representative

Business Development Representative (BDR) — NYC or SF

About the Role

We’re hiring BDRs in San Francisco and New York to build the next generation of top-tier enterprise sellers at Raspberry AI.

This is not a typical entry-level outbound role.

Our BDRs run real discovery, break into strategic accounts, partner closely with AEs, and own and close small commercial inbound deals (<5 users). You’ll develop true full-cycle muscles early in your career while still being part of a structured, high-caliber outbound engine.

This role is designed for ambitious, polished operators early in their career who want fast responsibility, elite sales training, and a clear path to AE promotion (target timeline ~18 months for top performers).

You'll be joining a high-ownership GTM team defining what modern, value-driven selling looks like in the AI era—learning directly from enterprise AEs, founders, and product leaders while shaping Raspberry’s next stage of growth.

Responsibilities

Pipeline Generation & Outbound

• Break into priority enterprise accounts through personalized, creative outbound strategies (email, social, phone, events, insight-driven content).

• Build multithreaded entry points across Marketing, Innovation, Creative, and IT.

• Identify buying signals, map stakeholders, and warm up accounts for AEs.

Discovery & Qualification

• Run structured discovery calls to validate fit, pain, workflow, urgency, and value.

• Complete call notes, qualification frameworks, and opportunity handoff packages.

• Maintain high standards of polish, executive tone, and preparation.

Closing Small Commercial Deals

• Own and close inbound commercial opportunities (<5 users) end-to-end.

• Guide prospects through pricing, packaging, and light negotiation.

• Develop early negotiation and closing reps rarely available at the BDR level.

Collaboration

• Partner closely with AEs to shape outbound strategy and accelerate opportunities.

• Work with Product, CS, and Marketing to surface insights from discovery and outbound.

• Uphold a high-quality pipeline hygiene and forecasting discipline.

Requirements

We’re looking for early-career talent with unusual drive and polish—people who are hungry for responsibility and want to become exceptional enterprise sellers.

Must-Haves

• 0–2 years of experience in BDR / SDR / consulting / banking / customer-facing roles
