Are you a BDR who would rather open a new market than inherit a worked-over list? Flashpoint is looking for a Business Development Representative to join our team in the UK, working remotely from anywhere in the country. If you enjoy breaking into accounts nobody has called yet, starting conversations with security and risk leaders, and being part of a collaborative, globally distributed team, we have a role for you. Most of our UK territory is greenfield, so the accounts you open become the foundation of how Flashpoint grows here. You will work alongside our sales and solutions teams, and when they are stretched you will run first discovery calls yourself. Our buyers protect banks, retailers, and governments from cybercrime and fraud, and they reward outreach that shows you understand their world.
We have a role for you if, you
have built pipeline from self-sourced outbound, turning cold accounts into meetings that sellers accepted and progressed
have opened conversations with senior buyers (security, fraud, risk, or IT leaders) by phone, email, and LinkedIn
have run first discovery calls yourself, qualifying need, timing, and decision-makers before handing an opportunity to a seller
have worked a territory or account list with little inbound, building your own target list, research, and sequences
keep your pace through objections and rejection, and adjust your messaging based on what is landing
are curious about cybersecurity, threat intelligence, or fraud, and pick up a technical product quickly
