Company mission
Our mission is to provide non-technical teams ("operators") with the same type of leverage as their technical counterparts.
Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate is always asking questions, loves to learn, is technology savvy but still wants to flex their creativity and humanity to connect with people and create opportunities
- This person is not afraid of failure, they see it as valuable learning and it fuels them to improve
- You consider yourself resourceful, resilient, thoughtful and a team player
- We are a quickly growing company so ideally, you thrive in fast-paced environments and are excited to learn the ropes of outbound business development quickly in preparation for a successful career in sales at Parabola
- You are an excellent communicator over both email and phone. As a result, you’re able to catch the attention and interest of really busy people
- You have perspective. You don’t take rejection too personally because you know life is short
- You have a high bar for what ‘good’ looks like and are constantly striving to exceed metrics and generate high-quality leads
- You are excited to receive feedback and actively seek coaching opportunities to enhance performance and professional growth
- You take pride in your craft. You are organized and thoughtful and don’t make the same mistakes three times
- You're comfortable commuting to the NYC office 3-4x a week
- You are you. You are unique. You bring something great and uniquely awesome to the team. You are proud of who you are and you care about fostering an environment that is inclusive and empathetic
What the job involves
- The Business Development Representative will play a pivotal role in bringing in new customers and expanding within our existing user base at Parabola
- You’re on the front lines, representing a brand, product, team and customers we care about. As a member of our BDR team, you will help set the standard for a truly excellent, modern BD org at Parabola
- Learning what makes our customers tick, infusing yourself into their day to day lives to understand their challenges
- Connecting the dots between the most painful parts of an operators job (the manual, data heavy, dynamic processes that have the business on their backs) and how Parabola can help
- You will drive revenue growth by empowering our Sales team with top-quality leads through strategic outbound outreach across various channels and warm inbound inquiries
- You are not just in it for yourself. When you find approaches that work or signals that made the difference in a prospects engagement, you are eager to codify them and share them with the team. You are a part of the building of this program and company
- You’ll be setting up meetings for Account Executives post-lead qualification, and nurturing leads post-meeting to boost attendance rates
- You love the phone. You’re making 50+ dials per day, not to dial but to connect and add value to the market
- You are using LinkedIn, Loom, email, phone, other social media to diversify and personalize outreach to our ideal potential customers
- You master our product, buyer persona, Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), customer journey and know that leaning in here will allow you to add value and excel in your current role but also give you a foundation to grow within Parabola (and your overall career)
- You are doing what works and constantly thinking about new and creative experiments to test messaging, industries, and use cases
- You leverage a modern tech stack including Outreach.io, Clay, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Nooks, Apollo.io, 6Sense, Attention, Salesforce, and Hubspot
Our take
The Parabola platform aims to simplify automating routine tasks. Using a drag-and-drop interface, Parabola eliminates the need for programming knowledge and enables users to automate repetitive tasks within programmes such as Excel or Google Sheets and between software, for example, taking data from Salesforce to send targeted emails to a specific set of customers.
With the aid of a $24M financing round led by OpenView, the company is expanding its team and product capabilities. This is off the back of Parabola's success with the Shopify connector product, which took advantage of the upsurge in online shopping and opened up a huge market of e-commerce businesses.
There are several other successful businesses, such as Integrify and RoboTask, each with similar offerings for task automation. Parabola differentiates itself from these competitors through continued innovation in e-commerce, including the integration of the Shopify platform, a huge time saver for online retailers.
