Build Your Future With Us
The digitization of tax compliance is fundamentally changing global commerce and how businesses need to operate and grow. Governments now have real-time visibility into business data, creating new challenges and new opportunities for organizations around the world. At Sovos, we're transforming tax compliance from a business requirement into a driver of growth through AI-powered technology that delivers the accurate, real-time insights businesses need to make smarter decisions.
We're solving more than today's tax compliance challenges. We're helping reshape global economies by enabling organizations to navigate increasingly complex and rapidly changing regulatory environments with confidence – and helping communities thrive.
AI is accelerating what's possible, enabling tax and technology professionals to more effectively drive critical regulatory decisions. That's where Sovos excels, combining intelligent technology with human expertise to help customers stay ahead of change.
Don't worry if you don't check every box. We're focused on hiring great people, not perfect resumes. It's less about what you've done elsewhere and more about what you're capable of doing here.
The Role
At Sovos, we're looking for a Business Development Representative to be the key contributor behind building market demand for our industry-leading compliance solutions. This is a results-focused, high-impact role where you'll connect with potential customers, uncover opportunities, and set the stage for meaningful business relationships, working at the intersection of sales and marketing to turn leads into conversations and conversations into qualified opportunities for our sales team.
More specifically, you will:
- Work directly with prospective customers to identify and develop sales opportunities, achieving daily, weekly, and monthly activity targets whilst meeting and exceeding pipeline creation and revenue quotas.
- Effectively qualify inbound leads and leverage AI tools to provide high-quality opportunities for the sales team, ensuring a strong handoff to Account Executives.
- Partner with Account Executives to identify and execute territory plans, autonomously managing multiple priorities and actively driving effective pipeline development.
- Execute a formalised business development process with consistency and creativity, adapting your approach to engage confidently with mid-level and executive contacts.
- Recommend improvements to business development strategies, processes, documents, and tools to benefit internal teams and external prospects, drawing on data insights and AI-assisted workflows where applicable.
