Your responsibilities 🖋️

We're looking for an outstanding Senior Enterprise BDR — energetic, strategic, and determined. This is a unique opportunity to join a rapidly growing, profitable, and self-funded scale-up and own the top-of-funnel motion on enterprise accounts across North America.

You'll work hand-in-hand with our Enterprise AEs on strategic account plans, targeting C-suite and MD-level buyers. We leverage smart strategies and channels to deliver high-impact results.

• Conduct deep account research and identify enterprise prospects across North America

• Work closely with Enterprise AEs to build strategic account maps and coordinate outreach across buying groups

• Define and implement intelligent multi-channel outbound campaigns — email, phone, LinkedIn, events, and more

• Secure and lead initial meetings with C-suite, COO, CFO, and MD-level executives

• Lead discovery calls to understand prospects' processes, challenges, and priorities

• Continuously test and iterate on messaging, targeting, and sequencing to improve efficiency

• Informally support and mentor junior BDRs on the team

Your goals ⚡

• Familiarize yourself with UpSlide's solution and complete a comprehensive onboarding plan

• Hit 20+ qualified enterprise meetings per quarter through self-sourced outbound pipeline

• Take full ownership of outbound campaigns, showcasing creativity to optimize efficiency and effectiveness

• Hold high-value conversations with senior executives from day one

What your onboarding will look like 🚀

Your journey with UpSlide kicks off with our 4-month onboarding program, designed to set you up for success from day one.

• Month 1 — Meet global teams, learn our target market, sales cycle, product, tech stack, and prospection strategy

• Month 2 — Start reaching out to prospects with team support, build a strong foundation of market and product knowledge

• Month 3 — Refine skills through practice and roleplay, source high-quality prospects, and lead intro calls with support

• Month 4 — Independently source, engage, and nurture prospects, and lead high-value conversations with confidence

You are a great fit if you have:

• 2+ years in outbound B2B SaaS business development - full-time (not internship)

• A demonstrated track record of self-sourced pipeline on enterprise or mid-market accounts

• Experience targeting and engaging C-suite or MD-level buyers from first contact

• Exposure to financial services (investment banking, asset management, PE, Big 4, or adjacent) — not required to be a sector expert, but can't be starting from zero

• Active use of AI tools in your prospection workflow

• Proficiency with enterprise sales tools: Salesloft, Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, LeadIQ

• Based in NYC, able to work onsite 3 days/week

• Skills in line with our values: Excellence, Trust, and Happiness at work

We'd love it if:

• You're familiar with UpSlide's competitive landscape or the broader productivity/automation SaaS space in financial services
