As a BDR, you will:

• Drive top-of-funnel activity and own the first interaction with future enterprise clients.

• Research, prospect, and qualify high-potential accounts across TA, HRIS, Talent, and AI/Innovation teams.

Are articulate, intellectually sharp, and excited to talk to C-level executives.

Want to join a fast-paced, high-ownership, no-fluff team with massive upside.

Bonus points if you:

Have prospected into HR, Talent, People, or AI personas.

Have experience using tools like Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

Why Maki:
