About This Role

This is a new business, outbound sales development role focused on Mid-Market and Enterprise segments.

The primary objective of this role is to create qualified pipeline by booking high-quality meetings with marketing and growth leaders at best-fit brands.

You will own a defined territory of target accounts, with opportunity to hunt open accounts, and generate new opportunities through highly customized outreach - including tailored email, personalized LinkedIn engagement, and confident cold calling. Creative, insight-led outreach is encouraged.

This is not a high-volume, script-driven prospecting role. Our BDRs operate as early-stage strategic sellers - identifying brands where influencer marketing and creator commerce are active, spotting opportunities for scale or performance optimization, and earning conversations through relevant, data-aware messaging.

You will partner closely with Sales Directors and the broader GTM organization to surface opportunities aligned to Later’s influencer campaign and creator commerce model, including managed campaigns, annual programs, and performance-driven solutions.

This role reports to the Director of Business Development and sits within the Sales organization.
