We are seeking a motivated and high‐performing Business Development Manager with experience in enterprise sales as we turbo‐charge our revenue engine. As a BDM on the enterprise team, you will own the selling of the Primer suite of products from end to end.

With a consultative approach, you will lead the sales cycle with founders, CEOs, CTOs, CFOs, and VP / Director level functional leads. You will also drive the Sales strategy by owning all aspects of the sales cycle from prospecting to discovery to close. This will include cross‐functional work to develop the customer strategy and contribute to other revenue initiatives.

The Enterprise team at Primer is focused on both Strategic and Enterprise accounts. We work with founders and executives across a wide variety of verticals to gain an in‐depth understanding of their business.

What will you be doing?

• Own and manage the entire sales cycle from prospecting to closing, focusing on enterprise‐level accounts.
• Build a robust pipeline through outbound prospecting, networking, and strategic partnerships.
• Develop tailored sales strategies to engage key decision‐makers and demonstrate the value of Primer's platform.
• Collaborate with cross‐functional teams including Sales Engineering, Product, and Customer Success, to deliver exceptional customer experiences.
• Contribute to team projects focused on developing and refining our sales process and playbooks.
• Stay informed on industry trends and payment innovations to provide valuable insights to clients.
• Provide consultative selling to identify customer challenges and present innovative solutions.
• Accurately forecast sales performance and maintain detailed records using CRM systems.

What We'd Love To See

• Driven to consistently exceed goals and expectations.
• A go-getter, with a bias toward action and the ability to produce results in fast‐paced, highly ambiguous situations.
• Proactive, improving existing processes and developing best practices.
• Strategic negotiator, with a passion for closing deals.
• A life‐long learner, curious about prospects, their needs, and how Primer can help.
• Energetic and bring a positive attitude to everything you do.
• You enjoy working in an office setting; we are remote‐first and always will be!
• You are not comfortable with shifting context and navigating ambiguity.
• Don't enjoy the hunting side of the role! We'll empower you to build a solid pipeline with a great stack of resources.

Finally, let's go ahead and say it. The work that we do is challenging. Startups are a challenge, building category‐defining products is a challenge. You should be prepared for a challenge at Primer. But, there's a big difference between a challenge and a struggle. The key difference is that the right challenge comes with the right support structures, an acceptance that not everything always goes to plan, a collaborative environment, and a great team around you. It's never a challenge that you will face alone.

We are fully remote and globally distributed; and have been since day one.

Competitive share options, uncapped holiday, with 25 days minimum to be taken, workations & Company Retreat, the best equipment for your role, £500 towards your home office set‐up, generous learning budget, and a broad set of additional perks and benefits (depending on location).
