Role Overview

• We are looking for a high-performing BDR currently working at an AI SaaS company who wants to move into a closing role.
• This position starts with a strong pipeline-generation focus, similar to a BDR role, but with a clear path to becoming a full Account Executive within approximately six months.

• Identify and engage decision makers in ecommerce and retail

• Conduct early discovery conversations
• Work closely with senior sales leadership on deal progression

Transition to Account Executive

Once ramped, you will begin:

• Running product demos
• Managing smaller opportunities end-to-end
• Participating in deal strategy and negotiations
• Closing deals and managing your own pipeline

Required Background

• Currently working as a BDR/SDR or an AE at an AI SaaS company
• 2–3 years of SaaS sales development experience
• Proven ability to generate meetings and pipeline through outbound prospecting
• Experience selling or positioning AI-driven products or platforms
