What the job involves
- The Business Development Representative role at Ontra is an exciting opportunity for someone who is looking to build a career in sales within a world-class sales organization
- In this role, you will continue building upon your sales foundation for a successful career in business development by working closely with Ontra’s Account Executives and Account Directors to book meetings and help close deals
- If you are a collaborative team player and enjoy the thrill of driving pipelines that will lead to new customers, we would love the opportunity to get to know you!
- This role will report directly to one of our Business Development Managers, and the preferred location for this role is London
- Research & Prospecting: Support lead generation by conducting research and helping the Sales team curate prospect lists
- Cold Outreach: Make 30 calls and send 50 emails per day in order to hit a goal of booking 10 meetings per month
- Sales Operations: Manage calendars, external resources, and efficiency tools to coordinate meetings, pitch activities, and conduct outbound campaigns
- Meeting Preparation: Help prepare for meetings and sales pitches with net-new prospects and current customers by preparing debriefs, write-ups, and other materials as needed
- Campaign Execution: Execute sales outreach, support Account Directors and Account Executives in meetings, and manage follow-up activity to ensure smooth and consistent communication with prospects
- Data Management: Ensure data accuracy by entering new sales data, and by maintaining and updating Salesforce
- Sales Projects: Manage key action items and ad hoc requests for business development needs
Our take
High-volume legal work can be a drag for large enterprises, who end up straining their internal resources or their bottom line as they outsource the work. Ontra (previously InCloudCounsel) slides in as a solution to this problem by pairing businesses with a network of freelance corporate lawyers to manage their routine legal work in a more cost-effective way.
In addition to enterprises, the company is an attractive proposition for lawyers who want a more flexible working life than Big Law can usually offer. Ontra attempts to avoid direct confrontation with Big Law by focusing more on routine work and document management tasks.
Following Ontra's healthy investment, the company has made some pretty big strategic moves - mainly driving product growth, onboarding top people onto its Board of Directors team and acquiring smaller companies like FundFormer and Captain to improve its product capabilities.
