About Us

Pendulum empowers companies to uncover, understand, and act on risks and opportunities in social media narratives.  We are building a powerful, multi-medium, always-on narrative and community-intelligence platform for our customers while tackling one of society’s biggest problems: combating harmful mis- and disinformation. We are deeply inspired by our mission, motivated by solving hard technical problems, and obsessed with our customers.

Fulfilling our mission demands bringing together a team with a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. Diverse teams are the strongest because their plurality of experience enriches the solution space and improves decision-making. Diversity and inclusion are therefore core to our values and at the forefront of our hiring philosophy and day-to-day operations.

About the role

We are looking for an Enterprise Business Development Representative with experience in B2B cloud-based subscription software to drive new client development with Fortune 500 companies across multiple industries. You will be responsible for building relationships with executives and industry leaders across the energy, healthcare, marketing, and technology sectors.

• You build strong enterprise discovery habits and progress opportunities cleanly. 
• You improve meeting quality through better targeting, research, and positioning.

Required Qualifications

• 1 - 3 years of experience as a BDR, SDR, or in a similar outbound sales role. 
• Exposure to enterprise prospecting, including targeted account research, personalization, and point of view development. 
• Comfort building account-specific insights to support outreach. 
• Strong discovery mindset, clear communication, and strong questioning skills. 
• Coachable and disciplined with the ability to take feedback, test, and improve quickly.
• Have sourced deals for multiple Fortune 500 client accounts in a previous role.
• Honed exceptional communication skills with a keen eye for building relationships with executives and prospective clients.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with social listening or adjacent social/media monitoring technology. 
• Experience prospecting into enterprise accounts, ideally in or adjacent to platforms.
• Established relationships with potential Fortune 500 clients.

What we offer

• Grow as a professional by working with emerging technologies in a high-demand industry segment.
• Drive company direction at a company that encourages input from all levels to help shape our trajectory.
• Experience working at a technology company in which the mission focus is on tackling one of society’s greatest challenges.
• Learn from industry and government experts who value initiative and encourage innovation.
• Enjoy the flexibility to work remotely, unlimited PTO, and company (and two personal-choice) holidays.
• Receive excellent benefits, including 100% employer-paid employee health premiums (50% for dependents), 401(k), and FSA.
