Job Description

About the Role

This is a founding BDR position at a seed-stage 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 help define what go-to-market looks like for a fast-growing legal services platform serving commercial clients.

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 key decision-makers.

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

  • Build feedback loops that sharpen messaging, improve targeting, and raise outbound execution quality.

  • Continuously identify ways to move faster, scale pipeline generation, and set higher quality standards.

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.

  • Demonstrated ability to run high-volume outbound prospecting campaigns across email, phone, and LinkedIn.

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

  • Strong written communicator whose cold outreach and follow-ups consistently generate responses.

  • Ability to build and iterate on messaging, targeting strategies, and sales processes using performance data.

  • Ownership mentality with complete accountability for pipeline and revenue outcomes.

  • Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort operating well outside your comfort zone in an early-stage environment.

  • Resilience and resourcefulness in the face of rejection, with the drive to iterate and improve.

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

  • Experience in legal tech, contract management, or legal services is a plus.
