Role

Who you are

  • You have had success in outbound sales
  • You combine a consistent high quantity of outreach with relevant personalisation in your outreach
  • You are comfortable using multiple methods of outreach such as sending videos, attending events, effective email sequencing, LinkedIn, social media or phone based efforts for example
  • You are coachable, accountable and consistent in your efforts to develop knowledge and results
  • You believe in a consultative and human sales approach and understand that every conversation is different
  • You can operate in a high trust environment of autonomy and embrace change
  • You are comfortable generating your own pipeline through outbound sales, calling and setting up great foundations with our potential customers

What the job involves

  • We are looking for an autonomous, coachable Business Development Representative to help us achieve our ambitious growth plans. This is an exciting time for you to join: based on the size and breadth of our customers, we are growing like never before!
  • As a BDR in our outbound sales team, you are the first point of contact for all of Paddle’s sales efforts. You’ll generate demand, interest, and excitement for our products while partnering to create a steady pipeline of business to arm your counterparts on the Account Executive team
  • Your core task will be to prospect and develop leads, warm up the relationship and convert them into qualified meeting opportunities for Paddle’s Account Executives
  • Quickly develop an understanding of our Ideal Customer Profile to target the best fit companies for Paddle
  • Prospect your own pipeline of good fit Paddle accounts
  • Generate conversations from outbound outreach
  • Convert these conversations into qualified opportunities for our Account Executive team

  • Effectively showcase Paddle’s set of products and best practices through the phone, LinkedIn and email amongst others
  • Manage and prioritise your time so you consistently achieve your targets
  • Consistently attain and exceed target expectations

Our take

Software as a service (SaaS) is becoming the dominant way for new companies to sell their products. However, there are many interlinked tasks that can be used to build a great business. For example, setting up trials and licences, insights and analysis, payment gateways, taxes, and internationalisation.

Paddle offers SaaS companies a completely different approach to their payment infrastructure so that fast-growing companies don't need to deal with this complicated puzzle. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, it acts as a Merchant of Record for customers, removing the pain of payment fragmentation.

Now serving over 4,000 customers, and having entered the unicorn club in 2022, the company has clearly found its share of success. By handling payments and compliance, Paddle lets companies focus on scaling without operational headaches, positioning itself as a key player in SaaS infrastructure management.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Paddle

  • We want to increase the opportunities for under-represented Paddlers - we are going to partner with third parties to widen our talent pools, and how we create opportunities internally for when new Padders join to give access to further careers and growth
  • We’re already proud of the strides we’ve made around gender balance, especially at manager/leadership level and have a rich population of non British employees. Like most companies in our sector there is still much work to be done, but we’re ready and excited to bring about positive change
