Business Development Representative - BROPACK Bronner Packmittel GmbH

MindsDB is a fast-growing AI startup headquartered in San Francisco, California. As a leading innovator bringing AI and Data together, our passion is empowering companies to easily build AI capabilities that can Think, Understand and Orchestrate: enabling teams to move from prototyping & experimentation to production in a fast & scalable way.

MindsDB was founded in 2017 by Adam Carrigan and Jorge Torres, inspired by Ian M. Banks's Culture series, in which super AI systems called Minds collaborate with other forms of life to accomplish incredible goals. Starting as an Open-Source project, MindsDB has grown to be one of the most widely used AI-Data platforms in the world, with a growing community and more than 700 contributor developers from every corner of the globe.

We are backed with over $55M in funding from Mayfield, Benchmark, YCombinator, and nVidia. MindsDB is also recognized by Forbes as one of America's most promising AI companies (2021) and by Gartner as a Cool Vendor for Data and AI (2022).

We are looking for a Business Development Representative (BDR), who will play a key role in driving the company’s growth by identifying and engaging with key technology decision-makers, specifically CTOs and CIOs, across various industries. Your main focus will be on generating and qualifying new business opportunities for MindsDB's AI developer platform, which enables organizations to move past prototyping and deliver production-ready AI applications that can form answers from any data.

To apply for this role you must be a motivated self-starter with a passion for technology and AI, and eager to contribute to a fast-growing startup environment.  You must be willing to learn outbound prospecting techniques including cold calling, email outreach, and social media engagement, with strong communication skills that allow you to simplify complex technical concepts and present them compellingly. Highly organized and data-driven, you prioritize leveraging and updating CRM tools (e.g. HubSpot) to manage and report on pipeline activity. Adaptable and coachable, you thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and are excited about the potential of AI and machine learning technology, with a strong desire to learn more about MindsDB's offerings and the broader industry. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

This is a hybrid role (2-3 days in office/week) and we are looking for a candidate based in the Bay Area.
