Business Development Representative (NYC)

At TigerData, formerly Timescale, we empower developers and businesses with the fastest PostgreSQL platform designed for transactional, analytical, and agentic workloads. Trusted globally by thousands of organizations, TigerData accelerates real-time insights, drives intelligent applications, and powers critical infrastructure at scale. As a globally distributed, remote-first team committed to direct communication, accountability, and collaborative excellence, we're shaping the future of data infrastructure, built for speed, flexibility, and simplicity.

As a Business Development Representative (BDR), you will support our sales team by generating meetings and creating pipelines by identifying and engaging with key prospects at our target accounts. This role offers unique opportunity for advancement and promotion, and we’re looking for someone who is looking to build a career in tech sales.

Note: Although TigerData is primarily a remote organization, we have a strong preference for candidates based in the New York City area (will be hybrid, in-office approximately 2 days per week)

What you will be responsible for in this role:

• Research accounts, identify key buyers, and create interest to generate sales opportunities

• Build email sequences that drive urgency and engage buyers at key accounts

• Attend industry conferences and events

• Qualify “in-market” leads for the sales team

• Take notes for account executives and help shepherd deals until closed

You could be a great fit if:

• You’re a self-motivated individual who has a history of hitting ambitious targets

• You’re comfortable talking with senior executives, and you excel at building long-lasting relationships with prospective customers

• 1+ years of work experience, either in sales/business development, or finance, consulting, or a related analytical field

• Experience balancing multiple priorities and owning challenging targets

• Excellent time management skills that can be shared and spread throughout the team

• Someone who is energized by navigating ambiguity and can create structure in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. 

  Bonus Skills:

• 1+ years experience working in sales or customer-facing roles. 

• Prior Sales/SDR experience at a technology company. 

• Previous experience working with a technical audience. 

• Experience using sales productivity tools (e.g. Salesforce, Linkedin, GoogleSuite, Outreach, Apollo)

You might not be a great fit if:

• You aren't comfortable with a fast-paced, dynamic environment where priorities can shift quickly. 

• You prefer a highly structured role with clearly defined tasks and responsibilities.

• You prefer to work independently and aren't a strong team player. 

• You're not passionate about the company's mission and values.

These ranges may be modified in the future.
