Business Development Representative
Business Development Representative (BDR) — NYC or SF
About the Role
We’re hiring BDRs in San Francisco and New York to build the next generation of top-tier enterprise sellers at Raspberry AI.
This is not a typical entry-level outbound role.
Our BDRs run real discovery, break into strategic accounts, partner closely with AEs, and own and close small commercial inbound deals (<5 users). You’ll develop true full-cycle muscles early in your career while still being part of a structured, high-caliber outbound engine.
This role is designed for ambitious, polished operators early in their career who want fast responsibility, elite sales training, and a clear path to AE promotion (target timeline ~18 months for top performers).
You'll be joining a high-ownership GTM team defining what modern, value-driven selling looks like in the AI era—learning directly from enterprise AEs, founders, and product leaders while shaping Raspberry’s next stage of growth.

Discovery & Qualification
Run structured discovery calls to validate fit, pain, workflow, urgency, and value.

Collaboration
Partner closely with AEs to shape outbound strategy and accelerate opportunities.
Work with Product, CS, and Marketing to surface insights from discovery and outbound.
Uphold a high-quality pipeline hygiene and forecasting discipline.
Requirements
We’re looking for early-career talent with unusual drive and polish—people who are hungry for responsibility and want to become exceptional enterprise sellers.
