About HRLocker
HRLocker is an Irish HR software company. We build HR, time and attendance, recruitment, onboarding, and performance software that helps small and mid-sized businesses manage their people in one place.
We are a fully remote team, and we work the way we ask our customers to work: clear communication, trust, and flexibility built around results rather than presence. Our Sales team is growing, and we're looking for someone to join our team!
Purpose of the role
The Business Development Representative owns the top of our sales funnel. You will generate new pipeline through outbound prospecting and qualify the inbound leads that come to us through demos, trials, content, and webinars, so that our Account Executives can focus on progressing and closing opportunities.
This is a high-activity, high-conversation role and the first commercial contact most prospects have with HRLocker. It suits someone who is genuinely comfortable picking up the phone, who is curious about the problems HR teams are trying to solve, and who wants to build a career in SaaS sales.
Key responsibilities
- Research and identify target accounts and decision makers in HRLocker’s core markets, and build prospect lists that reflect our ideal customer profile.
- Run consistent outbound prospecting across phone, email, and LinkedIn, working to agreed daily and weekly activity levels.
- Respond to and qualify inbound leads quickly, including demo requests, free trial sign-ups, content downloads, and webinar attendees.
- Hold discovery conversations by phone and video to understand a prospect’s current HR processes, uncover genuine business need, and qualify against our fit criteria.
- Book qualified meetings and demonstrations for Account Executives, and hand over clear, well-documented context so the next conversation starts well.
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date records of all activity, contacts, and opportunities in HubSpot.
- Meet or exceed agreed monthly targets for activity, qualified meetings, and pipeline contribution.
- Build and maintain strong product knowledge across the HRLocker suite, and be able to speak credibly about the problems it solves.
- Feed objections, competitor information, and market intelligence back to Sales and Marketing.
- Work with Marketing on campaign follow-up, and contribute to improving outreach messaging, sequences, and playbooks.
- Take part in team meetings, pipeline reviews, training, and coaching sessions, and act on the feedback given.
