The Position

As an Expansion Business Development Representative (BDR) at YCharts, you will help grow revenue within our existing client base, including RIAs, Key Partnerships, banks, trusts, and other wealth management firms. Working alongside Customer Success, Marketing, and Sales, you will surface expansion opportunities that add net-new YCharts license seats, qualify them, and pass them to our Expansion Account Executives to begin the sales cycle.

The role is ideal for a curious, driven, early-career professional who enjoys building relationships and wants to grow a career in sales. Ideal candidates are passionate about the markets and about helping financial professionals make smarter investment decisions with YCharts.

The Expansion BDR role will require ongoing collaboration with Customer Success, Expansion Marketing, and the AE team: you will coordinate outreach sequences, help shape tailored advisor messaging, align with Marketing on campaign plays, and demonstrate business acumen and professional polish through clear, concise answers to client questions, showing you can secure the next meeting.

Working in close partnership with the Director of Sales, you will receive hands-on training and coaching to grow your sales career.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work alongside CS, Marketing, and Sales to identify key accounts and surface expansion opportunities within the existing client base

• Schedule meetings and demos for AEs, handing off qualified opportunities cleanly and on time, with the context they need to begin the sales cycle
• Coordinate multi-touch outreach and run initial discovery calls with users, advisors, and decision makers at client firms
• Help co-own tailored advisor messaging and align with Marketing on campaign plays, launching sequences on schedule
• Log activities, manage lead tasks, and keep CRM records current for deal reviews and pipeline visibility
• Meet or exceed pipeline targets and a meeting target of 25-45 based on competency level, prepare for weekly deal reviews, and share timely feedback with the Director of Sales on messaging and conversion rates

Basic Qualifications:

• 0-2 years of experience in sales, business development, or a client-facing role. With a track record of hitting goals in school, internships, or prior jobs

• Interest in financial markets and a foundational understanding of investing strategies, financial metrics, and common investment vehicles
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, particularly in explaining financial concepts clearly
• A coachable attitude, eagerness to learn, a commitment to accountability, and an unrelenting desire to succeed
• Ability to identify issues, devise effective resolutions, and implement them promptly
• Comfort with CRM and sales tools such as HubSpot, G-Suite, and Slack, or the ability to learn them quickly

Benefits & Perks:

• 100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) match to support your financial future.
• Opportunities for internal mobility and cross-functional collaboration.
• Flexible time off, vacation days, sick days, and a celebration day.
