This role is hybrid, with four in-office days per week at our San Francisco FiDi location.

The opportunity

Hazel needs a Business Development Representative who can consistently generate and qualify pipeline in the hundreds of thousands of dollars per month. You’ll own top-of-funnel execution – responding quickly to inbound interest and running targeted outbound to our ICP while partnering closely with AEs to convert interest into high-quality meetings and sales-qualified opportunities. This is a foundational hire with direct impact on Hazel’s growth trajectory and go-to-market playbook.

What you'll do

Generate pipeline by running a balanced motion across inbound follow-up and outbound prospecting
Qualify and route leads: run first-touch discovery, assess fit, and schedule next steps with AEs.
Execute targeted outbound plays (email, phone, LinkedIn) to reach key decision-makers in ICP accounts.
Create a great buyer experience: thoughtful follow-ups, clear next steps, and fast response times – especially on inbound.
Operate with rigor: maintain clean CRM data, track activity, and improve conversion through feedback loops with Product, Sales and Marketing.
Iterate your craft: test messaging, sequences, and channels; bring learnings back to the team to improve playbooks.
Learn the Wealth management AI landscape and translate Hazel.ai’s value into business outcomes for different personas (operators, leaders, technical stakeholders).
Leverage AI to research accounts and craft high-signal, personalized outreach at scale – continuously testing messaging and sequences to improve reply rates, meetings set, and qualified pipeline conversion.

What you'll bring:

1+ years in a BDR role or a high-cadence customer-facing role.
Strong written + verbal communication; comfortable with discovery and objection handling.
High ownership and pace: you prioritize well, follow through, are organized and thrive in ambiguity.
Data-informed mindset: you track what’s working, diagnose drop-offs, and adjust.
Familiarity with CRM and sales tooling (e.g., Salesforce/HubSpot + sales engagement tools).

Bonus points:

Experience selling into a defined ICP (SMB/MM/Enterprise) and partnering closely with AEs on account strategy.
Comfort using intent signals and AI tools to personalize outreach and improve conversion.

Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At Altruist we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role, but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
