Job Description

Business Development Representative (Former Athletes & Veterans)

Denver, CO

*This opportunity is presented by Shift Group on behalf of a high-growth technology partner.

About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a fast-growing technology company that's expanding its sales team in Denver and looking for a highly driven Business Development Representative. You'll join a modern, tech-forward sales team that uses the latest tools to work smarter, so more of your day goes to real conversations with decision-makers instead of busywork. You won't just book meetings; you'll help open new markets for a company on the move.

We back this expectation with a $60,000 Base and a $120,000 OTE. If you want to launch a career in tech sales with serious earning potential, learn from experienced sellers and grow into a closing role as you prove yourself, this is your seat.

Key Responsibilities

• Open New Markets: Run outbound calls, emails and LinkedIn outreach to decision-makers and turn cold prospects into qualified meetings.
• Work Smarter: Use modern sales tools and data to focus your energy on the conversations that matter most.
• Bring Frontline Insight: Share what you're hearing from the market to sharpen messaging and strategy.
• Learn from the Best: Work closely with account executives and sales leadership as you build your skills.

Qualifications

• The Experience: 1+ years of professional or internship experience. Sales or tech experience is a bonus, but your drive and mindset matter most.
• Competitive Background: Former collegiate or professional athletes and military veterans thrive here. Your discipline and drive to win are your resume.
• The Execution: You get fired up by big activity numbers and thrive in a structured, high-energy environment.
• The Mindset: Coachable, curious and hungry to grow fast.
