Business Development Representative II

About the role

This is a critical hire for us and one the Extend team is heavily focused on developing. We are building out a strong outbound motion against a defined and specific Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) within ecommerce and retail brands. We want BDRs, or as we call them ExtenDRs, who can contribute on day one. As an ExtenDR, you will sit within our sales team powering the engine that runs our Go-To-Market organization and brings in revenue. You will be the first point of contact for merchants who could become long-term Extend customers. You'll run multi-channel outbound (calls, email, LinkedIn, texting) into Director, VP, and C-level decision makers at ecommerce brands and retailers, partner closely with Account Executives to convert qualified meetings into pipeline, and help us figure out what "good" looks like as we scale. This is not a seat for someone who wants a script handed to them. The playbook is being written, and you'll have the opportunity to shape and develop the playbook for this motion with us. We're looking for individuals who have the passion, hunger, and drive to join a thriving startup in the tech ecommerce space and someone who gets excited picking up the phone, writing cold emails, and going to industry events to engage with prospects to generate qualified opportunities for AEs. You are able to effectively collaborate with additional cross-functional teams like marketing, partnerships, and growth strategy.
