BDR

About the Position

Lemon.io is on the hunt for a proactive and ambitious Outbound BDR to spearhead our outbound motion in partnership with our GTM Engineer. Together, you'll build our lead generation playbook from the ground up, and drive mission-critical growth for our 2026 strategy. This is your opportunity to join a young and growing company that values autonomy, creativity, and getting things done, while partnering directly with leadership to scale a high-impact team.

Why join Lemon.io?
We’re a bootstrapped, profitable, and growing company that’s all about transparency and impact. Our CEO is hands-on, and our culture is collaborative and open. We operate in a high-velocity sales environment where great ideas thrive, and results matter. As our Founding BDR, you’ll be at the forefront of our expansion, working closely with the CEO and CRO to establish scalable outbound processes. If you’re driven, curious, and ready to grow while building and leading a team once the motion is proven, you’ll fit right in.

Responsibilities

• Outbound Calling: Review the daily list provided by the GTM engineering team and hit the daily call, email, and LinkedIn outreach targets.
• Playbook Execution: Execute and iterate on an outbound playbook, including messaging sequences, targeting criteria, and multi-channel outreach (email, LinkedIn, calls).
• GTM Collaboration: Partner closely with a GTM engineer to integrate technical tools, automate workflows, and optimize lead generation processes.
• Personalized Engagement: Craft highly personalized outbound messaging based on prospect research, industry trends, and technical insights to drive meaningful conversations.
• Meeting Bookings: Qualify and book high-value discovery calls for the sales team, focusing on expansion opportunities and new logos.
• CRM Hygiene: Keep HubSpot and Apollo data clean and accurate to support forecasting and workflow automation.

• Experience building and executing outbound playbooks, including client acquisition, reactivation, or expansion in a high-growth environment.
• Some technical skills (e.g., familiarity with sales tech stacks, basic scripting/automation, or understanding of developer ecosystems) to collaborate effectively with GTM engineers.
• Exceptional communication skills (9/10 in both written and spoken English)-clear, concise, persuasive, and customer-savvy, with a focus on high-personalization outreach (no spray-and-pray).
• Proactive, ambitious mindset with a strong desire to scale impact by building and leading a team once processes are proven.
• High emotional intelligence, process-minded approach, and comfort building from scratch in a fast-paced startup.
• Proficiency with tools like HubSpot, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and internal CRMs.
