Every pet deserves the care they need. Inflation and economic pressures have made vet bills harder to afford – and we’re fixing that, one clinic at a time.
Snout is one of the fastest growing wellness plan providers in the veterinary space, trusted by clinics across the U.S. We recently closed a Series A round and $100 million debt facility to fuel our growth and support our mission. We’re on the lookout for Business Development Representatives (BDRs) based in the Metro Detroit area to help us build our outbound pipeline, set the standard for excellence in our business development function and scale it from the ground up.
As a Business Development Representative based in our Troy, Michigan office, you'll be a pipeline generation machine and a key contributor to building our outbound sales engine. This role is great for someone who has at least 1 year of business development experience since you'll figure out how to break into vet clinics, create a book of accounts and crush your individual targets. You’ll spend about half your day on the phone with clinics, the rest preparing, following up, and improving how we approach them.
Your impact will be immediate and significant. Beyond hitting aggressive pipeline targets, you'll test new prospecting strategies, refine our messaging, and provide feedback that shapes our go-to-market approach. You'll work closely with our account executives to ensure smooth handoffs and partner with marketing to optimize our outbound campaigns. As we grow and you master your role, you'll have opportunities to help build our playbooks.
If you're interested in making your first foray into business development and sales — we want to hear from you!
Snout is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We know that great candidates may not check every box — and that’s okay. If you're excited about this role and our mission, we encourage you to apply if you meet at least 75% of “what we’re looking for” including the first bullet point. If you need any accommodations during the application or interview process, please let us know — we’re happy to support you.
