Founding Business Development Rep

ABOUT THE ROLE This is a founding BDR role at an AI-native legal services company, where you will build the outbound engine from scratch and own pipeline generation end-to-end. Sitting at the center of go-to-market, you will shape how the company reaches fast-moving startups and their decision-makers, making this a high-impact, high-ownership opportunity at an early-stage company. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Run high-volume outbound prospecting across email, phone, and LinkedIn to build qualified pipeline. - Prospect and qualify leads, finding creative ways to consistently book meetings with decision-makers. - Own the full sales motion from sourcing through closing qualified opportunities into revenue. - Build feedback loops that sharpen messaging, improve targeting, and raise outbound execution quality. - Continuously identify ways to move faster, increase quality, and scale pipeline generation. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 1 to 2 years of sales experience at a high-growth startup, with a track record of hitting or exceeding quota. - Proven success running high-volume outbound campaigns and booking qualified meetings through cold outreach. - Experience prospecting and selling into startups, founders, or operations buyers. - Ability to build and iterate on outbound messaging and targeting strategies based on performance data. - Strong written communicator whose cold emails and follow-ups consistently drive responses. - Ownership mentality: you take full responsibility for outcomes and find a way to deliver under pressure. - Entrepreneurial mindset with comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments. - Resilience in the face of rejection and a drive to iterate and improve continuously. - Willingness to work at an intense pace in a high-bar environment; this role is on-site, six days a week. - Exposure to legal tech, contract management, or B2B legal services is a plus.
