Business Development Representative

We believe that adaptation is a necessity, not a luxury, and communities deserve access to powerful software that helps them plan for the future. The challenge of climate change is complex – it implicates how governments plan, manage capital, and communicate to stakeholders. Forerunner helps government agencies do these things better by empowering them to access, understand, and mobilize local-level data at scale.

We're looking for a talented Business Development Representative with 1-3 years of experience to join our company to provide support to our sales teams. Your responsibilities will include:

Identify high-potential government customers and execute outbound strategies to connect them to Forerunner

Move leads through the funnel, arranging meetings with an Account Executive

Develop and lead campaigns from idea-generation through to qualified calls and determine how best to scale them

Partner with Account Executives at Forerunner to build strategies and prospect into designated accounts

Effectively work through lead list meeting/exceeding SLAs, consistently update activity and contact information within the CRM system and support weekly reporting effort

In general, the Business Development Representative role may be a good fit if you:

Have demonstrable proficiency solving ambiguous problems. You are an analytical individual who enjoys creating structure where there is none, tackling problem solving creatively, and working collaboratively to achieve goals.

Have strong verbal and written communication skills. As a Business Development Representative, effective communication is vital. You should articulate ideas clearly in writing and verbally engage prospects to generate interest and meaningful connections.

Have an eye for detail. Attention to detail is crucial. You'll manage prospect data and interactions, ensuring accuracy in our CRM system to maintain an organized pipeline.

Strong interest in climate adaptation and technology. Your enthusiasm will drive your understanding of our products and enable you to communicate their value effectively to potential clients.
