We’re looking for an energetic, curious, and driven Business Development Representative (BDR) to help us grow our customer base and fuel our go-to-market engine. You’ll be the first point of contact for potential partners — sparking conversations, identifying opportunities, and helping to shape Plug’s sales motion as we scale.

This is an onsite role in our Santa Monica office where collaboration, energy, and creativity thrive.

• Identify and reach out to potential clients through research, outbound calls, emails, and Linked In.
• Qualify inbound leads and schedule discovery meetings for the Sales and Business Development teams.
• Partner closely with leadership to refine outreach strategies and messaging.
• Maintain accurate lead data and activity tracking within our CRM.
• Contribute to continuous improvement — sharing insights from prospects and helping us evolve our GTM playbook.
• Support sales campaigns, events, and pilot programs to help drive awareness and adoption.

• 1–2 years of experience in a sales, business development, or lead generation role (start‑up experience a plus).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — you’re confident, curious, and comfortable building rapport quickly.
• Strong organization and attention to detail with the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
• Self‑starter mindset — you take initiative, ask smart questions, and thrive in an environment with autonomy.
• Passion for sustainability, EVs, or emerging tech is a bonus.

• Be part of a mission‑driven team tackling the future of EV remarketing.
• Work directly with founders and senior leaders on high‑impact projects.
• Grow quickly in a start‑up where initiative is rewarded and ideas are heard.
• Collaborative, energetic, and no‑ego culture — we’re building together.
