Business Development Representative (BDR)

San Francisco, United States
Full-time

About the role

We are looking for a Business Development Representative with 0-5 years of experience to join PromptArmor's high-octane growth team and help build pipeline for one of the fastest-growing AI security companies in the world. You'll be the second BDR hire at a YC-backed, already-profitable startup with a 9-figure valuation, selling six-to-seven-figure deals into Fortune 50 companies and trillion-dollar model labs. Our first BDR booked 234 meetings in ~3 months — including a Fortune 50 that closed in 3 months and a Fortune 50 CISO cold call that closed in 3 weeks. If you're hungry, hardworking, and want a fast path to becoming a full-cycle AE, this is the role.

What will you be doing?

  • Running cold outbound via calls, email, and LinkedIn to security and engineering leaders at enterprise accounts
  • Qualifying and responding to inbound interest generated by PromptArmor's viral threat intelligence content and partnerships
  • Driving deals forward by coordinating with stakeholders, sending one-pagers, sharing threat intel, and managing relationships
  • Attending conferences, taking prospects to dinners, and representing PromptArmor at industry events
  • Contributing feedback from prospect conversations to engineering and marketing to sharpen the product and sales motion

About Promptarmor

PromptArmor is an AI risk platform that helps enterprises in the most security-sensitive industries adopt AI without stalling on security review. It assesses the risk of every AI vendor or tool a company is buying or building, tells them which controls to put in place, and keeps monitoring those vendors as they change. Customers include Fortune 50 companies, trillion-dollar model labs, and a large share of the world's biggest law firms.

The team is 12 people building in-person in San Francisco, founded by two UC Berkeley alumni — a CTO who worked on security and infrastructure at Roblox and Google and previously sold a startup, and a CEO who shipped the first AI product at a 250-person Series B. Engineers own products end to end and talk to customers directly
