We are looking for a Business Development Representative (BDR) to play a critical role in our sales organization, generate new business opportunities, and qualify leads for the sales team.

- Collaborate with the sales team to develop and execute account-based sales strategies.
- Occasional attendance to industry & networking events in assigned region.
- Use CRM software tools to track leads, opportunities, and activities.
- Manage time effectively, meet personal goals, and work effectively with members of the assigned territory.

- Creative problem-solving approach and strong interpersonal skills.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- Proven track record of consistent success, leadership, and ability to take ownership of responsibilities.

We build AI for a living, and we encourage candidates to use it to prep, research, and sharpen their best work. But we're hiring humans, not chatbots. We want the real you. Use AI to tighten your resume, prep for interviews, research Torq, and outline ideas for written responses. Show up as yourself for live interviews, final assessments (the voice, logic, and reasoning need to be yours), and anywhere we're evaluating how you think — not how you prompt.
Excited about our vision and ready to make an impact as we grow? We'd love to see what you can bring to the team.
