We’ve raised over $10m to date with a ton of runway. You’ll join a team of Thoughtful Doers™ from places like Palantir, Cruise, Meta, Uber, and Google.

📍 Credal is in-person in our spacious

NYC office with meals provided.

As our Founding BDR, you are the tip of the spear for Credal’s growth. You'll be starting meaningful conversations with technical leaders, security teams, and executives at the world's most important institutions.

You’ll help open doors for the sales team and shape how we engage potential clients, starting from first touches like cold calls and personalized emails.

As the first BDR, you’ll collaborate with marketing, growth, and partnerships, learn quickly, and have a clear path to expand into full-cycle sales or other roles.

In this role, you will:

• Help shape our first-touch strategy, from crisp, personalized emails and warm introductions to thoughtful cold outreach and creative campaigns
• Build the outbound playbook, working directly with our GTM and leadership team to figure out what messaging resonates, which channels work, and how we scale what works
• Hold high-signal initial conversations, understand a prospect's pain points, and seamlessly bridge them to the rest of our team
• Share real-time market feedback directly with our engineering and marketing teams to refine our narrative and product roadmap
• As our first BDR, you'll have a clear, direct path to expand into an Account Executive, Growth, or customer-facing leadership role as the company scales

About you

You might be a great fit if you're a high-ownership, naturally curious builder who loves the challenge of opening doors and starting hard conversations. Who you are:

You have high agency and bias toward action. You don't wait for a playbook or a list of leads. You build hypotheses, test new outreach angles, and refine your approach every day.

You write with clarity, empathy, and conciseness. You know how to capture the attention of a busy executive or engineer in three sentences without sounding like a template.

You're deeply curious about technology. You don't need to be an engineer, but you love learning how modern tech works and can confidently discuss complex AI and security ideas.

You're resilient and competitive. Rejection doesn't slow you down.

You have commercial instincts. You understand what makes enterprise organizations tick, how decisions get made, and how to spot buying intent.

Bonus points:

Prior experience in a BDR/SDR, growth, or outbound role at an early-stage or developer-focused startup.

Familiarity with the modern AI or developer tools landscape.
