What We’re Looking For

Reporting directly to the Head of Sales, the Senior Business Development Representative will be the “sharp tip of the spear”, responsible for growing our revenue pipeline, iterating and updating our prospecting strategy, and supporting the sales team in achieving the company’s ambitious targets.

We need a driven Senior BDR who thrives in an ambiguous, fast-paced environment and can quickly grasp the complexities of climate tech and SaaS sales. The ideal candidate is so ambitious they need to be held back, not pushed forward.

They will also be part of our founding commercial team, so we expect this person to be driven both by personal results and also invigorated by the idea of contributing to the foundation of the business, helping us iterate on strategy, and one day leading their own part of CarbonChain.

Specific responsibilities include:

Lead Outbound Strategy: Help design, build, and scale our outbound prospecting approach (1:1 and 1:few) as we bring our best in class product to market.
Market Research & Segmentation: Analyze industries, identify trends, and collaborate with marketing to refine messaging and outreach tactics.
Drive Engagement: Own top of funnel engagement, relentlessly reaching out to best fit prospects via email, calls, and social media.
Own a 7 Figure Pipeline: Generate high-quality sales opportunities, contributing directly to revenue growth.
Optimize Customer Experience: Ensure a seamless and value-driven journey for potential customers.
Track & Analyze Performance: Implement and monitor key sales metrics, leveraging and obsessing over data to refine strategies and improve outcomes.
Stay Ahead of Industry Trends: Keep up with climate regulations, emerging technologies, and competitor activities to maintain a competitive edge.

Desired Background & Experience

Experience in crushing individual targets in a high performance organization
At least 9 months of experience as a BDR in an established tech company
Proven comfort in developing pipeline through written, social, and verbal communication
Excellent research skills and a data-first mindset with excellent data hygiene.
Obsession with climate and awareness of the challenges created by carbon emissions
Be a highly driven team player, comfortable working in a fast paced environment
Have a strategic mindset and strong attention to detail
Ambition to be excellent and have a high-growth career
Willingness to travel if needed

Preferred, but not essential:

Experience selling to traditional businesses (manufacturing, energy, construction etc.)
Additional language capabilities (German and/or French preferred)
Experience working in climate/greentech organizations
Experience using MEDD(PP)IC(C) sales methodology and value selling framework
