Opply

BDR - Chicago

Location: 3-5 days per week in office, Chicago, IL 60661

About Opply

After becoming one of the fastest growing VC-backed startups in Europe, we've now expanded to the US, and looking to offer huge opportunities for progression in our early team here - Now we need extraordinary minds with a strong ownership mindset who want to join us on our mission!

There are currently 1 million SMB consumer goods brands ordering over $1Trillion of raw ingredients per year - imagine this was all ordered on one platform. These brands all order separately today, and have small teams/order volumes which results in them wasting 70% stock, and getting ingredients at a 40% higher price than market rate. Opply automates the entire ingredient ordering process through:

  • Partnering with the world's biggest suppliers, giving SMB's access to their pricing through an AI matching and forecasting proprietary model
  • AI self learning platform that orders the ingredients when and where you need them
  • Data-led credit that allows brands to sell their goods before they pay for the ingredients

We work with a lot of the most exciting brands and suppliers in this space, and are shaping innovation in a world that didn't have this before, if you're a trailblazer, come join us!

Who We Are

We're VC-backed by some of the world's top investors like Index, Anthemis and Chalfen Ventures, and unicorn angels from GoCardless, Flow.io and Trouva, and have won StartUp of the Year for Technology Services and Supply Chain Specialists of the Year at the Startup and Global Corporate LiveWire awards - achievements we're super proud of! We're a close-knit team of 30+ (and growing), working across five time zones, and we meet up every year to work, ideate and hang out (Most recent trips have been to Finland and Prague)!

What You'll Be Doing

At Opply, our strength is the efficiency with which we deliver leading-edge products and support to those we serve. We're proud to set the standard for success in our industry.

  • Be a champion for our users and advocate for them, partnering with Marketing and Product teams to continuously improve the product
  • Collect and record feedback throughout the sales process, suggesting changes where you identify areas for improvement
  • Go above and beyond to be an Opply spokesperson, exceeding growth targets in line with achieving the overall business objectives
  • Identify product improvements or new products by remaining current on industry trends, market activities and competitors
  • Attend industry events to network, build contacts, and represent Opply in the best light
