The Role

As a Business Development Representative (BDR) at Metal, you’ll play a foundational role in driving our go-to-market engine. You’ll work directly with our Account Executives and CEO to generate qualified pipeline through a mix of outbound prospecting and inbound engagement. This role is an opportunity to join a fast-growing AI company at an early stage - building relationships with some of the most sophisticated investors in the world and helping shape the foundation of our sales motion.

You’ll become an expert in Metal’s product and market, developing a deep understanding of how private equity and investment professionals evaluate opportunities and make decisions. This is a unique opportunity for a highly motivated, curious, and ambitious individual to grow into a future sales or strategy leader at Metal.

What You’ll Do

• Generate Pipeline : Identify and engage potential customers across private capital markets through outbound prospecting.

• Manage Inbound Leads : Ensure timely, thoughtful responses to inbound interest and route leads effectively.

• Craft Personalized Outreach : Build targeted campaigns using a mix of email, LinkedIn, and creative channels tailored to the private market audience.

• Collaborate with AEs : Partner closely with Account Executives to support pipeline generation and ensure smooth handoffs of opportunities.

• Collaborate with GTM Systems Lead : Maintain CRM accuracy and ensure data hygiene, supporting the development of scalable sales processes and reporting.

• Contribute to the GTM Playbook : Document learnings, refine messaging, and help shape our outbound strategy as we build a repeatable process.

What We’re Looking For

• 1–2+ years of experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment - ideally in sales development or business development roles.

• Direct experience in private capital markets, whether at an investment firm or through close collaboration with professional investors, is a strong plus.

• Strong communication and writing skills, with the ability to connect with senior, sophisticated buyers.

• A deep curiosity about private markets, finance, and emerging AI technologies.

• Comfort operating independently and a drive to build things from scratch.

• Detail-oriented and disciplined in managing CRM data, outreach cadences, and performance metrics.

• Based in New York City or open to relocating - we believe in the energy of building in person.

Benefits & Compensation

We’re a startup that believes in hiring great people and rewarding them accordingly. For this role, you can expect:

• Salary Range (OTE): $80,000–$110,000 USD, depending on experience.
