About the Role

CaptivateIQ is looking for our next Enterprise Business Development Representative! You will join a team that has already proven to be one of the most crucial go-to-market drivers for CIQ's monumental growth in the last 3 years.

We will teach you the hard skills to research, prospect, cold-call, write, educate, objection-handle, and qualify to excel now as a BDR, and to prepare you for your future in a full-sales-cycle closing role. In return, you'll be supported and trained to own the end-to-end pipeline development process from Account Identification to Opportunity Creation.

This job is only won by ambitious, disciplined, tenacious, resilient, humble, competitive, endlessly curious, and coachable individuals regarding the art and science of sales.
