About the role: As a Business Development Representative for the USA, you will own top‑of‑funnel pipeline generation across your assigned territory, identifying and qualifying new business opportunities and handing off Sales‑Qualified Leads and Deals (SQLs) to our Account Executive team. You will be the first point of contact for many prospective customers in the Mid‑Market and Enterprise sector, setting the tone for what it feels like to work with Goodnotes.

Generate and qualify SQLs: Conduct high‑volume, high‑quality outreach via email, phone, LinkedIn, and other channels to engage prospects, run discovery conversations, demo Goodnotes, and qualify leads against defined criteria before passing them to Account Executives. Execute multi‑channel sequences: Design and run structured outbound sequences that combine personalised messaging, calls, and social touches — iterating based on open rates, reply rates, and conversion data. Educate and spark curiosity: Act as a knowledgeable first point of contact for prospects, helping them understand what Goodnotes is and why it matters for their business — without overselling before the right conversation has been set up. Book and brief AEs: Schedule discovery calls and demos or follow‑up meetings for Account Executives, ensuring smooth handoffs with thorough context and qualification notes so no momentum is lost. Support field and digital events: Represent Goodnotes at US‑based industry events, webinars, and conferences to generate pipeline through in‑person and virtual engagement. Feed the feedback loop: Share structured insights from prospect conversations back to Marketing and Product — including common objections, competitor mentions, use cases, and messaging that resonates. Leverage data to prioritise: Use HubSpot CRM and sales intelligence tools to manage your pipeline, track activity, and prioritise outreach based on territory data and account signals. Collaborate cross‑functionally: Work closely with Marketing on campaign follow‑up and lead hand‑offs, and with Account Executives to align on ideal customer profiles, messaging, and territory strategy.
