Business Development Representative - AI Native

The Opportunity: Help us build the Future of Skill Assessment

At SkillGrader, we aren't just building software; we’re building the future of intelligent skill assessment.

We’re on a mission to help education, emergency services, and workforce training providers measure what matters most: real-world performance. With strong venture backing, a proven MVP, and an experienced leadership team, we are poised for rapid growth.

Now, we need a high-motor Business Development Representative to help us bring our solution to colleges, universities, and trade schools across North America.

The Role: Architect Athlete

This isn't your average BDR role. We are looking for a rare hybrid: someone who can pick up a sophisticated AI-powered outbound system, and then has the grit to run it at high volume.

You’ll use tools to personalize outreach, but you’ll also be expected to hit the phones hard. We believe in "Smart Volume"—using technology to ensure that every one of your 100 dials a day is backed by elite research.

Who You Are

• The Architect: You love AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, or similar) and systems. You’d rather automate a boring task than do it twice.
• The Athlete: You like the "grind." You view high-volume activity—calls, emails, LinkedIn—as the way you win the game. You like seeing your name at the top of the activity leaderboard.
• Relentlessly Curious: You’re constantly debugging your own process.

  If a script isn't hitting, you iterate.

• Fast Learner: You pick up tools like Apollo, Instantly, AI tools in days, not weeks.
• The Builder: You are compelled to create. AI communication and Vibe coding are your newest hobbies to make your life easier and richer in every way.

The Mission

• Build the Engine: Design and “Operate” AI-powered workflows that optimize human education and qualifying conversations with prospects.
• Execute at Scale: Run a multi-channel playbook. That means high-volume dials, personalized emails & videos, and strategic LinkedIn touchpoints.
• Qualify & Book: Have insightful, high-quality human conversations with leaders in higher education, EHS, and workforce L&D, and book meetings for Account Executives
• Win: Hit your monthly targets. You like scoreboards. You like winning.

The Deal

• Compensation: $60k CAD Base Uncapped Commission (OTE $70k - $80k).
• Location: Remote (Must be legally authorized to work in Canada).
• The Culture: Small team, low ego, high standards, and full investment in your professional growth.
