The Business Development Representative (BDR) is a critical frontline member of Wood Green’s Corporate Engagement and Workforce Solutions Team. We are seeking candidates with experience in Business to Business (B2B), Software as a Service (B2B SaaS), IT services, or workforce development who understand how to execute outbound prospecting using modern sales technology.

The BDR owns the full sales cycle for SMB employers—from prospecting through hiring and early retention—and carries a quota for both employment outcomes (job starts) and meetings booked with larger enterprise employers for follow-up by the Account Executive team. The role blends modern outbound sales practices with workforce development expertise, ensuring employer hiring needs are met while clients are well‑prepared and supported for successful placement.

Using data‑driven outreach strategies, market intelligence, and AI‑enabled prospecting tools, the BDR converts employer interest into Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs) and hiring activity. Working in close collaboration with the Campaign Manager, Employment Consultants, the Coordinator of Brokered Incentive Agreements (wage subsidy agreements) and the Career Success Coaches (retention team), the BDR helps create a seamless employer‑to‑hire experience that supports both short‑term recruitment needs and long‑term hiring partnerships.
