Full Job Description
Duties and Responsibilities
  • 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.
Qualifications and Skills
  • 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.


Company Benefits:
  • Meaningful Mission & Impact - Work with a deeply talented, collaborative team solving some of the toughest AI challenges that matter.
  • Equity Ownership - RSUs that let you share directly in Seekr's long-term success and growth.
  • Time Off That Respects Real Life - Unlimited PTO plus 14 paid company holidays to truly recharge.
  • Work Your Way - A flexible hybrid work environment with offices in Reston, VA and Austin, TX, plus remote options and flexible working hours.
  • Competitive Total Rewards - A role-appropriate compensation structure that supports long-term growth, including base salary, bonuses, or commission plans depending on role.
  • 401(k) with Company Match - Build your future with a retirement plan that includes employer matching.
  • Comprehensive Health & Wellness - Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage starting day one-for you and your family.
  • Parental Leave - Paid parental leave to support employees as they welcome a new child through birth, adoption, or foster placement.
