That means shipping and learning faster, without compromising on craft. Great work here carries a strong opinion and sweats the details, regardless of the tools we use to drive it.\nWe’ve been a fully remote team since day one, with 120+ teammates now all over the world. It’s a culture where you’ll be trusted to take ownership, stay curious, and raise the quality of work around you. It comes with clear expectations and a team that will push you to do some of the best work of your career.\nIf that kind of challenge gives you energy, we’d love to meet you.\nThe opportunity\nHelp Scout is building a sales-led outbound motion to win more mid-market customers. Most of our pipeline comes from inbound today & we are changing that mix. This role is the engine for it.\nWe're hiring our first Business Development Representative to join our sales team. In this role, you’ll open conversations with the companies that fit us best and drive pipeline for our Account Executives. You'll also help shape the outbound playbook: which accounts, which messages, and which channels work. As our first BDR, we’re not looking for someone to run an established playbook… we're looking for someone who is eager to help shape one.\nDoes that sound like you? If so, here’s more about the role:\nWhat you’ll do\nResearch and personalize. Use an AI tech stack to find the right prospects, from Support/Success leaders to Operations management and company executives. You'll maximize engagement by tailoring outreach using our messaging frameworks and templates, and will check AI-generated drafts before sending.\n\nWork defined target account lists. Prospect into a defined list of ideal-fit mid-market companies based on our ICP criteria & strategic campaigns, and flag accounts that are not the right fit.\n\nExecute multi-channel outreach. Manage outreach across several channels, including email, phone, LinkedIn, and video.\n\nTest and iterate. Run messaging, personas, and channels tests, track what converts at the highest rates, and recommend changes to drive continuous improvement.\n\nReport on results. Maintain updated reports and dashboards that illustrate your success rates across campaigns and performance towards your targets. Regularly review results and thoughtful recommendations for improvement with your manager.\n\nHand off cleanly. Partner closely with Account Executives to brief them on sourced meetings with well documented details about the contacts, accounts and messaging that led to the booking. Use AE feedback to regularly improve your hand-offs.\n\nAbout you\nYou have 1 to 2+ years as an outbound BDR or SDR at a B2B SaaS company, with a track record of meeting pipeline or opportunity targets.\n\nYou've prospected into companies with 250+ employees and know how to tailor messaging based on industry, job title and additional criteria.\n\nYou’re a great communicator, both with prospects and internal colleagues.\n\nYou actively use AI tools in your workflow for research, list building, or writing, and can recommend what works (experience with HubSpot & GTM platforms like Apollo, ZoomInfo, Sales Navigator or similar solutions a plus).\n\nYou can thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.\n\nYou're coachable and want to grow into a closing role.\n\nCompensation and benefits\nWe use a competency-based approach to pay, and pay is the same no matter where in the U.S. you live.\nBase salary: $71,000 - $77,000\nOn-target earnings (OTE): $102,000 - $111,000\nCompany values\nHappy to Help\nHelp is in our first name! We show up for each other - not out of obligation, but because we’re invested in the team’s collective success. We share knowledge freely, lead with generosity, and practice empathy with our teammates, customers, and community.\nCraft over Convention\nOur success relies on the quality and craft of the work we put into the world. The status quo simply won’t work. So we insist on narrow focus, sweating every detail, and relentless pursuit of customer delight.\nProgress not Perfection\nAchieving our true potential - collectively and individually - requires constant progress and forward momentum. By creating a culture of curiosity and openness, we aim to create a safe space for mistakes, the ability to identify them quickly, and use them to get better.\nOwn the Outcome\nOwn the outcome means taking full responsibility for the results of your work, decisions, and contributions. It reflects a mindset of accountability, proactiveness, and follow-through. If you “own the outcome,” you don’t just complete tasks, you ensure your work leads to meaningful results, and take initiative to solve problems rather than passing them along.\nRead more about how we define, share, and live these values here.\nBenefits And Perks\nCompetitive salary and an internal, transparent salary formula based on market data\n\nFlexible time off - you choose the holidays and vacations that make sense for you\n\n12 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all new parents, including adoption and foster care\n\nA home office stipend to help you get set up and productive\n\nA co-working stipend up to $300 a month if you choose to work out of your house\n\nA yearly professional development stipend of $1,800 to help you grow in your craft\n\nIf you’re in the U.S. or Canada, we offer top tier health insurance for you and your dependents.\n\nHiring Guidelines:\nAll roles at Help Scout are fully remote. Some positions have specific location requirements. For roles outside the U.S. and Canada, we work with teammates as independent contractors under country-specific agreements.\nWe do not sponsor visas. Teammates must already be authorized to work from their home country.\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to building a company that embraces and celebrates diversity and inclusion. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We have read the studies and understand that diverse teams build better products, bring more perspective to the table, contribute to a company’s financial success, and help foster a more inclusive environment for all employees, but the bottom line is that it's the right thing to do.\nTo provide you with the best experience, we can support you with accommodations or adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process. Simply inform our recruitment team during your conversation with them.\nA note on the use of AI in our interview process\nWhile we understand that AI is an important tool in a modern skillset, we ask that you do not utilize AI assistants live on our interviews. Of course, use any tools you need to prepare! But we'd like for you to have a real human-to-human conversation with our team.\nOn our end, we utilize a platform called Brighthire as a notetaker and review tool to ensure a fair and transparent hiring process.\nBeware of scammers! All legitimate communication from Help Scout regarding your application will come directly from an @ helpscout.com email address and through our applicant tracking system, Ashby. We will never ask for personal financial information or conduct interviews outside of these official channels.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7679,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible time off","Health insurance","Home office","Parental leave","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Customer Support & Help Desk Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T22:35:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":54,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":77000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/help-scout-business-development-representative","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/help-scout-business-development-representative.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T22:59:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":33933,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3458},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3458"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhelp-scout-business-development-representative"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhelp-scout-business-development-representative"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhelp-scout-business-development-representative"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/help-scout-business-development-representative\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhelp-scout-business-development-representative"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3117223}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"helpscout.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3117223},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
