What the job involves
- CoLab is growing quickly, and we’re looking for a motivated Business Development Representative (BDR) to join our business development team
- Our SDRs often transition into Account Executives, and we’re looking for people who are driven and eager to pursue that career path
- You’ll spend your days conducting research to connect with the right engineering leaders, engage in compelling conversations, and deliver qualified pipeline in the form of Sales Qualified leads (SQLs) and Sales Accepted Opportunities (SAOs) to our team of Account Executives
- For this role, you'll need to be comfortable with cold calls and ready to speak with people at all levels of an organization
- Generate qualified pipeline and drive growth by identifying, engaging, and qualifying prospective customers through a combination of cold calls, emails, and social outreach
- Responsible for monthly and quarterly SQL and SAO targets

- Continuously improve by seeking out feedback, participating in regular coaching sessions, and developing both your sales and technical acumen
- There will be opportunities for growth from this position to senior/management roles in Sales Development or new opportunities with the Account Executive and Success Teams
- Success in this role will be measured by the number of identified SQLs and number of Sales Accepted Opportunities (SAOs) reached
Our take
The mechanical design process requires lots of back-and-forth between engineers, designers and business stakeholders who are giving and acting on feedback. Getting everybody on the same page is time-consuming and comes with lots of admin and flitting between different platforms, whilst important information slips between the cracks.
This is why CoLab has built a cloud-based platform for collaborative mechanical design and reviewing. It integrates into the existing stack of design and engineering teams to bring together all the teams involved in early-stage design. Basically, the platform pools data, feedback, tracking issues, emails, spreadsheets and notebooks into one collaborative space.
Ultimately, CoLab is a simple way to collaborate on concepts and projects at the planning stage, thus nipping in the bud any problems that could arise down the line. With an impressive series of investments behind it, the company plans to scale up its market push, explore the possibilities of AI and expand its team.
