Our partner is a seed-stage B2B SaaS startup selling into technical teams (e.g., Heads of Engineering / VP Engineering). After launching a self-serve product , they are shifting focus toward scaling top-of-funnel generation and converting high-intent users into sales-assisted opportunities. They’re building internal GTM capabilities (not relying on outsourced SDRs long-term) and want early hires who can help define the playbook. The Opportunity
This is a Senior BDR / Founding GTM role for someone who can build pipeline with a consultative, technical-buyer-friendly approach. The priority is increasing high-quality meetings and pipeline following the transition to a self-serve motion. Importantly, this role is designed as a BDR → AE transition within ~3–6 months , based on performance and business needs. You’ll start by owning top-of-funnel and inbound qualification, then gradually take on closing responsibilities as the sales motion formalizes. Responsibilities
Generate pipeline through targeted outbound to technical stakeholders (Heads of Engineering / VP Engineering and adjacent roles). Qualify and convert inbound interest from self-serve users by diagnosing needs and advancing opportunities. Build repeatable outbound playbooks: account segmentation, messaging, sequences, and objection handling. Leverage tools and signals to prioritize the right accounts and personalize outreach efficiently. Develop relationships within relevant ecosystems and networks to accelerate pipeline creation. Maintain strong CRM hygiene and report on funnel performance (meetings, conversion rates, pipeline quality). Partner closely with leadership to refine ICP, positioning, and the handoff/closing process in preparation for the AE transition. Requirements
2–5+ years
in BDR/SDR or adjacent GTM roles with clear evidence of pipeline creation and consistent performance. Ability to engage technical buyers credibly; practical understanding of concepts like APIs

Excellent written and verbal communication; professional, low-ego approach (no “hard sell”). High ownership and comfort operating in ambiguity; bias toward building systems and playbooks. Ability to work onsite
