Join a leading YCombinator-backed subscription platform on Shopify, working in a dynamic environment with high-impact responsibilities and a focus on creativity and experimentation.
Skio is looking for a BDR!
What we’re after/what could make you successful:
- 1 year or more of B2B Biz Dev experience, preferably in SaaS, or general tech ecosystem. Emphasis on E-Commerce/Shopify specific.
- High attention to detail. {{Prospect.Name}} need not apply.
- Creativity and a think outside the box mindset. If your motion is —> enroll prospects into mass Sequence and let it go, that’s not in our playbook.
- Knack for experimentation and A/B testing.
- Natural curiosity and a learn it all view. The Shopify/Subscription ecosystem is more complex than one assumes right off the bat. You need to learn about the entire ecosystem, not just our competitors.
- Competitive. We want people to raise the bar for everybody else.
- Expected to complete 100+ quality activities/day (emails, LinkedIn DM's, cold calling, etc) , sourcing 3-4 meetings/week
- Located in USA/Canada
Why you shouldn’t join:
- Need heavy hand holding. We don’t have 1000 employees and a kitted Sales Enablement team. There will be a lot of ambiguity.
- You don’t pick up the phone because “cold calling is dead”
- A perfectly defined role and responsibility list. Everybody wears all the hats. Maybe a Fedora is your normal style - but get used to a ball cap, a beanie, and even some of those interesting French hats.
Why you should join:
- We are the leading subscription platform on Shopify (check out our Shopify reviews for how our customers feel about us)
- Subscriptions have incredible product-market fit (it's a need to have) for ecomm CPG brands. Our product is running circles around the competition - & that’s due to our team/Eng talent.
- YCombinator backed. Skio is being built like a real tech company. Our Engineers come from top FAANG orgs, unseen in the Shopify ecosystem.
- Massive green space in front of us. You won’t be tied down or limited by a small or weird territory. Roam free & spread your wings.
- Quotas have been designed to be attainable, and we have a lot of ad-hoc and evergreen SPIFFs
- Non Political environment. To quote the Backstreet Boys - “We don’t care who you are, where you’re from”.. y’know the rest. We’re here to work, not discuss our voting preferences, or the latest dividing news headline.
- We’re fully remote. Nobody will be getting a “Return to office” memo. We don’t even have one.
