ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a founding Business Development Rep position at an AI-native legal tech company, where you will build the outbound sales engine from the ground up. You will own pipeline generation end-to-end and play a central role in shaping what go-to-market looks like at an early-stage company redefining how fast-moving businesses access legal services.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Run high-volume outbound prospecting across email, phone, and LinkedIn to build qualified pipeline.

- Qualify leads and find creative ways to consistently book meetings with decision-makers at target companies.

- Own the full sales motion from sourcing through closing qualified opportunities into revenue.

- Build tight feedback loops that continuously improve messaging, targeting, and outbound execution.

- Identify ways to move faster, raise quality standards, and scale pipeline generation over time.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 1 to 2 years of sales experience at a high-growth startup, with a track record of hitting or exceeding quota.

- Proven ability to run high-volume outbound campaigns and convert cold prospects into qualified meetings.

- Experience prospecting and selling into startups, founders, or operations buyers.

- Strong written communicator whose cold emails and follow-ups consistently get responses.

- Ability to build and iterate on outbound messaging and targeting strategies based on performance data.

- Ownership mindset with full accountability for pipeline and revenue outcomes.

- Entrepreneurial, resilient, and resourceful, comfortable operating well outside your comfort zone.

- Willingness to work intensely in a high-bar, fast-paced startup environment.

- Bonus: experience in legal tech, contract management, or legal services, or a background building outbound functions from scratch.
