Business Development Representative (BDR)
Austin, TX (In-Office)

About Legible

Legible is a fast-growing vertical SaaS company helping organizations make sense of state-level legislation in real time. Our AI-powered platform gives government affairs teams, lobbyists, trade associations, and policy professionals instant clarity into what’s happening across states — without the manual tracking, noise, or guesswork.

We’re at an exciting inflection point:
• ~120 paying customers
• Strong product-market fit
• Over 50% demo-to-close conversion rate
• $2.6M seed funding from a supportive VC partner

Demand is strong. Our challenge is simple: getting in front of more of the right customers.

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Business Development Representative (BDR) to help fuel the next phase of growth at Legible.

You’ll work directly with the CEO and our Founding Account Executive to identify high-value accounts, break into them, and create qualified pipeline for the team to close.

This is not a “smile and dial” role. It’s a strategic, high-impact position where you’ll learn how great sales organizations are built — and play a direct role in building one.

For the right person, this is a clear path to an Account Executive role.

What You’ll Do

• Identify and research high-value target accounts across government affairs, policy, and advocacy organizations
• Develop and execute thoughtful outbound strategies (email, LinkedIn, phone) to engage key stakeholders
• Build account plans and multi-thread into organizations
• Generate qualified meetings for the CEO and Founding AE
• Partner closely with sales leadership to refine messaging and targeting
• Leverage inbound, PLG, and referral signals to prioritize outreach
• Track activity and manage pipeline in CRM
• Continuously test and improve outreach strategies to increase conversion

What Success Looks Like

Within your first 6–12 months, you will:

• Consistently generate high-quality meetings with qualified prospects
• Become an expert in Legible’s ICP and buyer personas
• Build repeatable outbound strategies that produce results
• Increase the volume of sales conversations for the team
• Earn the opportunity to grow into an Account Executive role

Who We’re Looking For

• 1–2 years of experience in sales, business development, or a customer-facing role
• Highly motivated, competitive, and eager to build a career in sales
• Strong communication skills — clear, concise, and confident
• High agency — you take ownership and figure things out
• Curious and thoughtful — you don’t send generic outreach
• Organized and disciplined with follow-up and pipeline management
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, in-office startup environment
• Excited to learn directly from experienced operators and grow quickly

Compensation & Growth

• Competitive base salary + variable compensation
• Clear path to promotion into an Account Executive role
• Direct mentorship from the CEO and Founding AE
• Opportunity to be an early member of a high-performing sales team

Why This Role Is Different

This isn’t a typical entry-level sales role.

You’ll be working side-by-side with company leadership, learning how to break into complex organizations, and directly impacting revenue from day one.

If you’re looking to accelerate your career and become a top-performing seller, this is the place to do it.
