Make Your Mark

In your role as a Business Development Representative, you will be responsible for developing demand for BlackLine's products and solutions. As BDR, you will play an integral part in conveying the value of the BlackLine platform to prospective clients and, in doing so, you will have a direct impact on the future success of BlackLine. To ensure your success at BlackLine, you'll be immersed in an intensive 6-week training program, so you can hit the ground running and start qualifying leads in your territory. Training is focused on helping you establish successful processes as a BDR and providing a strong foundation for success in the larger sales organisation.

You'll Get To

  • Qualify marketing-generated leads from campaigns, website programs, conferences, and other channels,

  • Achieve, and exceed, weekly/monthly/quarterly metrics (appointments, qualified leads, new contacts, etc.),
  • Assist and coordinate with marketing campaigns as necessary,
  • Manage prospecting status, data integrity, and weekly forecasting in Salesforce.com and Outreach.

In just 90 days as a BDR at BlackLine, you will have learned to prospect, cold call, and communicate the value of our platform to one of the most technical and complex audiences, namely Finance and Accounting. But it doesn't stop there. You'll also be able to:

  • Articulate the complex B2B sales cycle,
  • Learn the ins and outs of tools, such as Salesforce.com, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Outreach, Hoopla, ZoomInfo, DiscoverOrg, InsideView, ClearSlide, and Kapost,
  • Understand the technical landscape of our target audience,
  • Call into a greenfield that has more than 90% total available market,
  • Successfully handle objections both on the phone and through email,
  • Have conversations with C-suite executives and Fortune 500 companies,
  • Be involved in corporate conversations at all-hands meetings for a growing, public company,
  • Participate and contribute to new marketing campaigns and ideas.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
