Job Description
Filed | Full-Time | Inside + Field Sales | USA (Bay Area/LA, NYC, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, DC)
Compensation: $60k Base + $24k Variable = $84k OTE
About Filed Filed is redefining how businesses handle their most critical document workflows. We're an AI-powered platform built to eliminate the manual, error-prone processes that slow teams down, giving businesses back time, accuracy, and peace of mind. We're early, we're fast, and we're growing.
This is a ground-floor opportunity to join a startup that is actively building its go-to-market engine. The sales team is small by design right now, but that's exactly why this role matters so much, and why the upside for you is real.
The Role We're hiring a driven, hungry, and personable Outbound Business Development Representative to help us grow Filed's customer base from the ground up. This is a hybrid inside + field sales role, meaning you'll be just as comfortable dialing prospects from your desk as you are walking into a business, introducing yourself, and starting a conversation.
You won't just be setting meetings, you'll be the face of Filed in the field, building genuine relationships with decision-makers and helping prospects understand why there's a better way to work. If you thrive on the energy of outbound sales, love the hunt, and want a clear path to closing deals yourself, this is the role for you.
What You'll Do - Cold call prospects daily with confidence, persistence, and a consultative approach
- Conduct in-person visits to prospect businesses within your territory to introduce Filed and generate qualified pipeline
- Research target accounts, identify key decision-makers, and craft personalized outreach via phone, email, and LinkedIn
- Book qualified discovery meetings for the Account Executive team (and eventually yourself)
- Maintain accurate activity and pipeline data in CRM, own your numbers
- Collaborate closely with leadership to refine messaging, targeting, and outreach sequences
- Represent Filed at local networking events, industry meetups, and in-person prospect visits as well as industry tradeshows or sponsored events.
- Provide feedback from the field to inform product positioning and go-to-market strategy
What We're Looking For Required: - 1-3 years of sales, customer-facing, or business development experience (SaaS, tech, or field sales a strong plus)
- A genuine hunter mentality - you get energized by outbound, not intimidated by it
- Excellent verbal communication skills; you can hold a room and hold a conversation
- Comfort with rejection and the resilience to keep dialing
- Self-starter who can manage their own schedule and territory without micromanagement
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for in-person prospect visits
- Familiarity with CRM tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar)
- A Reliable vehicle to conduct onsite visits in your territory
Bonus Points: - Experience in a BDR, SDR, or inside sales role at a SaaS or tech startup
- Familiarity with document automation, workflow software, or business process tools
- Experience using sales engagement tools (Apollo, Outreach, Salesloft, etc.)
- Proven track record of meeting or exceeding activity and pipeline quotas
Career Path This role is intentionally designed as a launchpad. We expect strong performers to step into an Account Executive role within 9-12 months. We're growing fast and we promote from within, the BDRs we hire today are the closers and team leads of tomorrow.
You'll get direct exposure to deals from the very beginning. You'll sit in on discovery calls, shadow AEs, and be brought into the full sales motion. By the time you're ready to carry a quota, you'll already know the playbook inside and out.
