Location: While this position is posted in a specific location, all of Oyster’s positions are fully remote and you can work from home. Forever. To create the best experience for our new hire (you?!), this role does require that you are based in the EMEA region.

At Oyster, we’re on a mission to create a more equal world by making it possible for companies everywhere to hire people anywhere.

Joining as a Business Development Representative (BDR) is your chance to break into tech sales and build a career with real growth potential. From day one, you will be supported by dedicated sales enablement, training, and coaching programs designed to help you succeed and grow.

You will learn how to master outreach, qualify leads, and build relationships that drive business results ~ all while working with top-tier sales tools like Salesforce, Salesloft, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.

You won’t be on your own. You will be surrounded by Business Development leaders, experienced Sales Executives, Revenue Operations experts, and an Enablement team that will invest in your development every step of the way.

This is an opportunity to learn fast, make an impact, and grow in a global, high-performing sales environment. If you are curious, ambitious, and ready to develop your career in tech sales, we’d love to hear from you.

Key responsibilities

• Create awareness and generate interest in Oyster through outbound prospecting (cold calling, email, and social outreach)
• Partner seamlessly with Sales Executives to drive mid-market and SMB pipeline velocity
• Qualify and schedule high-value meetings that convert into tangible sales opportunities
• Present and clearly articulate Oyster’s global employment platform to target buyers
• Organize, optimize, and manage your pipeline for maximum efficiency and predictable results
• Serve as the voice of the market, collaborating with the GTM team (Sales, Marketing, Product, etc.) to translate buyer intelligence into strategy.

What we value

• Driven & Motivated: You have a clear “why” that goes beyond money — whether it’s purpose, product, or personal growth
• Ownership & Accountability: You take initiative, learn from mistakes, and find proactive solutions to move forward
• Growth Mindset: You actively seek and implement feedback, always looking for ways to improve, master your craft, and ensure your career progression.
• Resilient & Persistent: You don’t give up easily. You push through challenges and adapt in turbulent times
• T.E.A.M.-Oriented: Together Everyone Achieves More! You thrive in a collaborative environment, consistently seeking to elevate your teammates, celebrate team success, all while maintaining your own high standards for results

What will make you successful

• Strategic Researcher: Finding the information is not your destination; you are naturally curious and synthesize data from diverse sources to strategically guide and focus outreach efforts.
• Organized Precision: You possess exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills, consistently producing accurate work while balancing speed and quality--especially under pressure.
• Creative Problem-Solver: Deconstructing complex challenges into practical steps to generate effective and innovative solutions comes second nature to you.
• Agile and Adaptable: You are open and amenable to change, quickly mastering new tools (including AI) and processes, and swiftly pivoting strategies to progress the pipeline
• Data-Driven Communicator : You view data as your currency for success, leveraging clear and persuasive communication (both written and verbal) as the vehicle to drive action.

Candidates who stand out possess:

• Minimum 6 months of demonstrated success in a customer-centric role (e.g., sales, hospitality, customer success, recruiting) where your results demonstrably relied on proactively engaging people and cultivating genuine relationships to drive a specific, measurable outcome.
• Familiarity with B2B prospecting tools (Salesforce, Salesloft, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, etc.)
• A genuine passion for remote work and an active curiosity about the evolving trends shaping the global workplace

You'll also need

• A reliable home internet connection (or be able to get one)
• Fluent English language skills
