Business Development Representative (BDR)
Role summary
Attention is seeking a Business Development Representative (BDR) to join their established sales team. This role involves prospecting C-level executives and RevOps leaders at high-growth companies, building and managing account lists, and executing outbound strategies across multiple channels including calls, email, and LinkedIn. The BDR will also represent the company at events, conduct initial discovery calls, and provide feedback on messaging and targeting to inform sales strategy. This position offers a clear path to an Account Executive role within a year for strong performers.
Attention
At Attention, we're transforming how go-to-market teams operate by turning every customer interaction into structured data, insights, and intelligent action. Our AI agents help organizations execute faster, learn continuously, and make every deal cycle more efficient and predictable.
We're building the future of revenue intelligence, and the team reflects that. Attention was founded by second-time founders and built with engineers and GTM operators out of Yale, MIT, Stanford, and Harvard.
That combination is working. We've raised over $40M to push the boundaries of how GTM tools operate. In the last eighteen months we've gone from $2M to $XXM in ARR, shipped more than 2,000 agents, and grown to 400+ customers, including Lovable, Scale AI, EliseAI, and Headway.
The role
Business development on an established team. You'll prospect CROs, VPs of Sales, and RevOps leaders at fast-growing companies.
Build and own your account list: companies, personas, buying signals
Work the signals our systems surface, and act on them fast
Outbound across calls, email, LinkedIn, and video
Represent Attention at conferences, dinners, and events
Run early discovery and hand qualified meetings to AEs
Test messaging and targeting, and report what you learn back to the team
What we look for
Energy. Coachability. Low ego.
Context
Our GTM motion is still being written, and the people doing this job are the ones writing it. What you learn in a week of outbound goes straight into how we sell and what we build next: which messages land, which accounts convert, what buyers keep asking for. Our product team moves quickly because the signal reaching them is fresh, and most of it comes from conversations like the ones you'll be having.
You'll also be close to the people making those decisions. This is a small, in-person team, so the founders, engineers, operators, and sales leaders building Attention are the people you work beside daily, not names you see in an all-hands.
Experience
0–3 years of experience. We hire recent college graduates alongside people coming out of business development, sales, consulting, or another outbound-heavy role.
Benefits
Employer-paid health and dental
401(k) with company match
Unlimited PTO
Daily lunch stipend
Equity
A clear path to career progression. Strong performers move into an AE seat within a year
