• At Buildots, we know that the key to growth lies in a high-performing sales team. We are seeking a Business Development Team Lead to support and lead our transition from a transactional SDR model to a strategic BDR (Relationship Building) function
• As the Team Lead, you will play a crucial role in enhancing sophisticated outbound outreach tactics and coaching your team to navigate the complexities of enterprise-level construction deals
• You will be responsible for ensuring your team doesn't just "generate meetings," but builds a qualified, high-intent pipeline through deep research and relationship development
• Leadership & Coaching: Train, mentor, and develop the BDR team to evolve from volume-based callers to strategic relationship builders. You will lead by example, setting the standard for personalized pitching, value proposition tailoring per persona, and high-level discovery techniques
• Hiring and Onboarding: Lead recruitment efforts for new BDRs with a focus on consultative talent. Ensure a structured onboarding experience that prioritizes industry knowledge and strategic account management over rote memorization
• Training and Development: Design and deliver structured training programs focusing on the "Buildots Methodology": understanding the construction buying committee, navigating sales cycles, and mastering the nuances of ConTech
• Specialized Knowledge: Build a dedicated construction-tech program sharing insights about technology evolution, competitive analysis, and the specific value propositions that resonate with global enterprise accounts
• Process Building & Account Strategy: Analyze and sharpen workflows, review and improve sequences, partner with Sales to track account status & health, and help your team build coalitions within focus accounts
• Monitoring Metrics (Beyond the Meeting): Utilize the tech stack to track KPIs that reflect the new strategy—monitoring account penetration, depth of relationship, and pipeline quality alongside traditional activity metrics
• Collaborating with Marketing and Sales: Act as the bridge for Account-Based Marketing (ABM) efforts. Optimize the SLA to ensure that the handoff from BDR to Sales is a high-context "baton pass" that sets the Account Executive up for success
• Team Culture & Engagement: Create a high-energy, intellectually curious work environment. Encourage a "student of the game" mentality where BDRs are motivated to understand the "why" behind construction challenges, not just the "how" of making a call
