The company is backed by tier-1 investors and counts Fortune 500 companies among its customer base. You will be the first people-leadership hire in Blitzy's Business Development function, building and leading the founding cohort of technically-fluent BDRs. Reporting to the VP of Business Development, you will own recruiting, onboarding, certification, and coaching of BDRs while partnering closely with Account Executives, Enablement, RevOps/Sales Productivity, and Recruiting. This is a builder and player-coach role. The playbook, standards, and tooling exist in first-draft form; your job is to install them with real reps, hold the bar, and make the motion repeatable.
