Business Development Representative (BDR) – International

Full-time
Akeyless Security provides a cloud-native SaaS platform that unifies Vaultless Secrets Management, Certificate Lifecycle Management, Next-Gen PAM, and Key Management. Trusted by Fortune 100 leaders and backed by top-tier investors (Team8, JVP, NGP Capital, Deutsche Bank), we prevent identity and secrets breaches across modern enterprise environments.
We are looking for an ambitious and highly motivated Business Development Representative to help accelerate our growth across EMEA and global markets. In this role, you will be the engine behind our pipeline – identifying, engaging, and qualifying prospects to generate high-quality meetings and demos for our Sales team. This is a pure hunting role focused on outbound and inbound prospecting; it is not a closing position. We prioritize potential over pedigree: candidates who demonstrate strong motivation, coachability, and a genuine drive to succeed are encouraged to apply, regardless of prior experience.
Responsibilities:

Pipeline Generation: Prospect, qualify, and generate high-impact opportunities through multi-channel outbound prospecting (email, cold calling, social selling) and inbound lead follow-up.
Meeting & Demo Booking: Secure qualified discovery calls and product demos for Account Executives across Mid-Market and Enterprise segments.
Account Mapping & Discovery: Research target accounts and identify technical and infrastructure pain points, engaging DevOps, DevSecOps, and Security leadership.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Account Executives, Sales Engineering, and Marketing to align messaging, prioritize target accounts, and ensure smooth handoffs.
Pipeline Hygiene: Maintain accurate, up-to-date records in the CRM, tracking outreach activity, lead status, and conversion metrics.
