Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Chainguard is a trusted source for open source software, focusing on delivering secure and production-ready builds. The company is seeking an Enterprise Business Development Representative who will engage with engineers and security leaders to drive enterprise account strategy and build a robust sales pipeline through thoughtful outreach and meaningful conversations.
Responsibilities
- Drive enterprise account strategy - Work alongside AEs to map target accounts and identify the right entry points across security, platform, and engineering teams
- Run thoughtful, technical outbound - Craft highly personalized outreach that resonates with developers, DevOps, and security leaders — no generic sequences
- Understand how modern infrastructure works - Research how companies build and ship software (containers, CI/CD, cloud environments) to make your outreach relevant and credible
- Lead meaningful early conversations - Qualify opportunities by understanding technical context, risk posture, and business priorities
- Build real pipeline, not just meetings - Focus on creating opportunities that move forward — quality over quantity
- Act as an extension of the AE - Collaborate on account plans, messaging, and deal progression
- Use tools intelligently - Leverage Salesforce, Outreach/Salesloft, and data tools to execute efficiently — but never at the expense of quality
- Continuously improve the motion - Test messaging, share insights, and help refine how we engage the market
- Be a feedback loop to the business - Bring insights from conversations back to marketing and product — especially what resonates (or doesn’t) with technical buyers
Skills
- 1–3+ years as a BDR/SDR, ideally working with mid-market or enterprise accounts
- Proven ability to generate pipeline through outbound (not just inbound qualification)
- Experience engaging multiple stakeholders within technical or complex organizations
- Strong writing skills — especially in crafting personalized, relevant outreach
- Curious and motivated to learn how modern software and security actually work
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity and building your own approach
- Experience with Salesforce, Outreach/Salesloft, or similar tools
- Track record of hitting or exceeding pipeline targets
