Business Development Representative - ANZ

As a Business Development Representative at Pendo, you’ll join a high-performing sales team focused on creating new, high-quality pipeline across key sales territories. The team partners closely with Account Executives and the broader go-to-market organization to identify the right companies, understand their business challenges, and introduce them to the value of Pendo’s platform.

In this role, you’ll research SaaS, software, and web application companies, identify relevant buyer personas, and build targeted outreach that creates qualified sales opportunities. You’ll gain hands-on training in software sales while learning how to prospect effectively, understand customer pain points, communicate Pendo’s value, and grow toward a future sales executive role.

This role is hybrid, where you will work 3 days per week in our Sydney, NSW office.

• Account research: Research and target high-potential SaaS, software, and web application companies. You’ll identify relevant buyer personas and understand how Pendo can support their business and product goals.
• Outbound prospecting: Build and execute cold calling, email, social selling, and multi-channel outreach campaigns. You’ll personalize outreach based on account research, prospect priorities, and market signals.
• Market prioritization: Use sales data and market insights to recognize trends and prioritize outreach. You’ll focus your time on the accounts and personas most likely to benefit from Pendo.

Beyond the qualifications, we hire through a specific lens. These aren't buzzwords; they're the things we'll actually look for in how you talk about your work.

You're a builder, not a maintainer.
You're most energized when there isn't a clear path yet, and you get to define it. You don't wait for direction; you identify gaps, shape solutions, and drive them forward. At Pendo, great Business Development Representatives don't just follow instructions; they operate as strategic advisors, influencing decisions, guiding stakeholders, and elevating how we work.

You're AI-curious - genuinely.
You're not using AI tools occasionally. You're rewiring how you work around them. You're faster, sharper, and more prolific because of it, and you bring that energy to everything — how you approach your work, how you prep, how you communicate, how you think. We want someone who sees AI as a multiplier, not a shortcut.
