Business Development Representative
About The Position
Our Business Development team is growing to help fuel Listen Labs’ next phase of growth. This is not a traditional “dial-for-dollars” BD role. You’ll be building your own lead lists, showing up at conferences and events, developing real relationships, and helping shape how Listen Labs is viewed by the market. If you’re hungry, extroverted, resilient, and excited to grind in a highly visible role at an early-stage startup- this is for you. Top performers will have a clear path to an Emerging AE role. Listen Labs is an AI-powered research platform that helps teams uncover insights from customer interviews in hours — not months. We help customers analyze conversations, surface themes, and make faster, smarter product decisions.
Requirements
- 1–3+ years of experience in business development, sales, consulting, or a similarly outbound-heavy role
- Comfortable with cold outreach, networking, and live conversations
- Willingness to travel for conferences and events
- Strong organizational skills and follow-through
