Manager, Business Development

Job description

ABOUT BLITZY Blitzy is an AI software development platform on a mission to revolutionize the software development life cycle by autonomously building custom software to unlock the next industrial revolution. We're transforming how enterprises build software, turning enterprise requirements into production-ready code with an agentic software development platform that can autonomously execute 80% of the quantum of software development work. We’re backed by tier 1 investors and built by repeat founders with a track record of scaling successful companies. THE ROLE We are building Blitzy's Business Development function from the ground up, and this is the first people-leadership hire in it. As BDR Manager you will own the founding cohort of technically-fluent BDRs, recruit, onboard, certify, and coach them to the Blitzy standard and build the coaching layer of a world-class pipeline organization designed first contact to close. You report to the VP of Business Development and partner closely with Account Executives, Enablement, RevOps / Sales Productivity, and Recruiting. This is a builder's role and a player-coach role: the playbook, the standard, and the tooling exist in first-draft form, your job is to install them with real reps, hold the bar, and make the motion repeatable. Success is a high-quality pipeline that converts, produced by a team that ramps fast and stays. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Hire, train, and develop the founding BDR cohort; maintain coverage across the territory as the team scales. - Own onboarding and enablement with Enablement — run the 30-60-90 ramp curriculum and the certification and taped role-play gates; refine the hiring profile with Recruiting. - Coach daily and run weekly 1:1s: scorecard review, one skill focus (calls, objections, messaging), and a pipeline walk; document and email coaching notes on every opportunity. - Own the metrics funnel and inspect it on a routine — activity, connect rate, meetings booked → accepted (NBM), NBM → conversion, pipeline generated, and attainment. - Run the accepted-NBM / quota-relief workflow against the objective rubric, and audit approvals for consistency. - Protect the handoff: spot-check transitions, triage drop-off, and partner with the AEs to kill bad pipeline, elevate good, and rescue what's sliding. - Ensure inbound leads are actioned within SLA; keep CRM and team data accurate. - Create spiffs for special motions; run QBRs; track attainment QoQ and YoY; help leadership evaluate tools, forecast, and set best practices. - Assist in career pathing into AE and other GTM roles (BDR → Senior BDR → AE, ~16–18 months) WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - Experience managing or coaching SDR/BDR reps or a top-performing rep ready to lead, with a track record of developing early-career sellers. - The ability to teach a rigorous discovery motion: MEDDPICC and the pain funnel, and to certify reps on tape. - Comfort in a technical, enterprise, high-ACV motion, you can coach reps to speak credibly with engineering leaders and CTOs. - Data-driven coaching instincts (Gong, HubSpot); you inspect behavior, not just activity. - A builder's mindset — you will help create a process, hold a high standard, and iterate; low ego, high curiosity, championship mentality. - Preferred: prior SDR/BDR leadership at an enterprise SaaS or technical platform; familiarity with modern software-development concepts. WHY THIS ROLE - This role builds Blitzy's future GTM leaders. As the function scales, the BDR Manager has a clear path to second-line leadership (Senior / Director, Business Development) and into the broader GTM organization. The BDR org is a talent engine — the leaders who build it will grow with it. - Opportunity to define a new category in enterprise software at the ground floor BENEFITS - Competitive compensation + equity - 401(k) with 4% Match - Unlimited PTO - Comprehensive health benefits OUR CULTURE We operate with speed, intensity, and a strong sense of ownership. We believe great teams win together, challenge each other directly, and stay focused on delivering exceptional outcomes for customers. How we work: - We move Blitzy Fast: Time is both our company’s and our clients’ most precious asset. We move quickly and decisively to innovate internally and deliver exceptional software externally. - Championship Mindset: We operate like a professional sports team. We win as a team by holding ourselves and each other to high standards, collaborating in-person, and remaining focused on the mission. - Passion for Invention: We’re pushing the frontier of what’s possible, requiring constant innovation and iteration. - We Work for the Customer: We focus on delivering outsized value to the customers we work with and expanding those relationships into deep, meaningful partnerships.

It makes for a happier and more productive team.
