Business Development Representative (Future Opening)

Forrest Johnson•Denver, CO

About The Position

Actuate is seeking a Business Development Representative (BDR) to play a pivotal role in the future of Actuate’s go-to-market strategy. The BDR is the tip of the spear for our sales team and works in direct partnership with our seasoned Account Executives, supplying the research, outreach, and meetings that turn a target account list into a real pipeline. Approximately 80% of a BDR’s activity is outbound to named accounts, and 20% is qualifying inbound leads from marketing and content. Actuate runs an account-based motion. We are not throwing bodies at a list. We pick the accounts we want to win in our priority verticals (restaurants, c-stores, retail, auto, and banks), and we build a plan for each one. The BDR is the person who makes those plans real. You will research the right contacts, craft personalized outreach across channels, multi-thread into target accounts, and set the meetings that put our AEs in front of the decision-makers we need to be talking to. This role works shoulder-to-shoulder with leadership, our AEs, and our Client Success team. You will have a direct hand in shaping how Actuate sells as we scale, and a clear, well defined path into an Account Executive role for the BDR who wants to grow.
