Job Description

This isn't another BDR role where you'll mindlessly blast templated emails to unresponsive prospects and celebrate booking meetings that go nowhere.
You'll be the critical first touchpoint for Fortune 500s and global enterprises considering how to fundamentally transform their workforce models. You'll engage CFOs, CHROs, and Heads of Procurement at organisations like Deloitte, NASA, Harvard, and Airbus - opening doors to relationships that reshape how the world's leading companies access talent.
This role is the engine of our enterprise growth. You're not just booking meetings - you're shaping the quality of our pipeline, identifying transformational partnership opportunities, and laying the groundwork for relationships that can generate millions in revenue.
If you've ever felt like traditional BDR roles were beneath your capabilities, if you're tired of being treated like a dial-and-smile robot, and if you want to build genuine executive relationships rather than just hit activity metrics - this is your opportunity.
This role will require flexibility to work hours covering GMT and EST time zones to support our global operations.
Excellent English or US communication skills required for international client-facing role.
