Business Development Representative (BDR)

Full-Time | Remote | $40,000 Base Pay + Uncapped Performance Incentives

Help People Turn Their Passion Into Opportunity.

At Hat Masters, we believe that learning a valuable skill can change someone’s life.

For some, that means discovering a creative passion. For others, it means launching a business, creating additional income, or building a career doing something they love.

Our mission is to empower aspiring entrepreneurs, business owners, and hat professionals with the education, skills, and confidence they need to succeed in the art and business of hat shaping.

We’re looking for a motivated, confident, and personable Business Development Representative (BDR) to join our growing team and help introduce more people to the opportunities that Hat Masters can provide.

If you enjoy connecting with people, thrive in a performance-driven environment, and want your work to make a meaningful impact, this could be a great opportunity for you.

About Hat Masters

Hat Masters was built around a simple idea: give people the knowledge, skills, and support they need to turn the art of hat shaping into something meaningful.

Through our online education and hands-on training programs, we help individuals learn the craft of hat shaping while developing the knowledge and confidence to pursue their personal and professional goals.

Our students come from all walks of life. Some are aspiring entrepreneurs looking to start their first business. Others are established business owners seeking to expand their offerings. And some simply want to master a craft they’re passionate about.

What connects them is a desire to learn, grow, and create something of their own.

At Hat Masters, we’re not just teaching people how to shape hats. We’re helping them build skills, businesses, and opportunities for their future.

The Opportunity

As a Business Development Representative, you’ll be one of the first points of contact for prospective Hat Masters students.

Your primary responsibility will be connecting with individuals interested in our online and in-person training programs, understanding their goals, and scheduling qualified sales consultations with our Account Executives.

You’ll work with both new and existing leads, making outbound calls, following up with prospective students, and helping people take the next step in their journey.

This is a phone-focused sales development role that requires consistency, confidence, and a genuine interest in understanding people’s goals.

You’ll report directly to our Director of Business Development and work closely with our Account Executives to help grow our student community.
