Business Development Representative

UpSlide is the number one productivity solution provider for financial services. Our software dramatically improves the functionality of PowerPoint, Word, Excel and Power BI and enables users at firms like Citi, KPMG, and BNP Paribas to focus on high-value tasks rather than formatting or copy-pasting.

We’re looking for energetic, determined, and high-performing sales professionals to join our Business Development team as Business Development Representatives (SDR/BDR).

• Secure initial meetings with senior executives and generate new business opportunities in the US through effectively managing, qualifying and converting leads.
• Effectively manage, qualify, and convert inbound leads to viable opportunities
• Build, implement and manage intelligent multi-channel outbound prospection campaigns
• Work with our Business Development Manager and Head of Business Development to look for opportunities to innovate and optimize lead generation

You are a great fit if you have:

• A consistent track record of achieving your objectives
• A proactive attitude with goal-driven team player spirit
• Analytical skills and curiosity
• Strong organization and time management skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

We’d love it if:
