Business Development Representative - Sales
Manhattan
Sales
Remote
Full-time
We invite an enthusiastic Sales Business Development Representative to be an integral part of the Trayd sales organization, responsible for generating pipeline and fueling our next stage of growth. As an early member of the sales team, you’ll work closely with the CEO and Account Executives to execute go-to-market strategy, engage prospective customers, and create high-quality opportunities that move the business forward. This is a unique opportunity to join Trayd at an exciting inflection point, have real impact on how our sales motion is built, and grow into more senior sales roles as the team scales. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who thrives in ambiguity, is energized by outbound selling and customer conversations, and is eager to learn and master the fundamentals of high-performing B2B sales.
Trayd HQ is located in Soho, Manhattan but remote candidates will be considered. This role will report directly to the CEO.
What is Trayd?
US Construction is a $1.4T industry ridden with crappy software and manual processes.
Trayd is a construction back office operating system specializing in Payroll, HR, and Compliance for the trades. Trayd has a unique spin on traditional payroll and tedious every day tasks, using automation to eliminate over 100 hours a month of paper pushing and data reconciliation across siloed platforms.
Trayd has grown 300% year over year with $5M+ of deals in the pipeline. With clear product-market fit, we are scaling the team to actualize the climbing demand. Trayd has raised $4.5M from world class investors like Suffolk Technologies, Bloomberg Beta, and Y Combinator.
