About the role

TL;DR : Our Business Development team is growing quickly, and we’re hiring a BDR Leader to help build the pipeline engine that fuels Listen Labs’ next phase of growth.

What they're looking for

  • High standards: You care deeply about rep development, message quality, and pipeline outcomes
  • Fast-moving: You thrive in ambiguous startup environments where the motion is evolving in real time
  • Cross-functional: You work well with founders, Growth, PMM, and Sales leadership to align on priorities and raise the team’s ceiling
