About the Role

Riskified is growing our Business Development organization and we’re looking for a strategic problem-solver to join our Super Enterprise team. This is not your typical Business Development opportunity as we focus on generating leads and nurturing long-term engagement with some of the largest, fastest growing companies in the Fortune 500 and beyond. Through a combination of research, creativity, and industry expertise, the Riskified Business Development team takes a consultative approach to prospecting at the top of the lead funnel and owns early stages of the sales discovery process. 

High-achieving Business Development Reps specialize in identifying a target company’s needs, challenges, and can tailor their outreach accordingly to key decision makers. They excel at networking, where they gain plenty of experience by attending multiple conferences, trade shows, and other events across the year. More than anything, we are seeking bright, driven people who are curious about business to join our team and help drive revenue – making a direct impact on our growth. If you’re the type of person who likes to figure out where problems exist, solve them, and take on unique challenges - we’d love to learn more about you!

What You'll Be Doing

• Research industries and companies to find the key decision makers then establish, develop, and nurture relationships with those decision makers
• Uncover prospect’s challenges through thoughtful sales discovery to determine how Riskified can provide a solution to business problems
• Own and orchestrate prospect relationships and meetings until they convert into sales opportunities, including coordinating and leading strategy sessions with cross-functional Riskified stakeholders to present the best options for each merchant’s goals
• Apply proven sales approaches, techniques, while developing your own skills 
• Attend trade shows, conferences, and other virtual/in-person events

Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional experience, with 3+ years of experience selling to C-Level executives at Enterprise companies and navigating a complex sales cycle. 
• Experience in B2B enterprise sales or business development, especially selling technology solutions into a variety of senior decision makers and preferably in the payments, risk, security, fintech, or digital commerce areas
• Able to quickly understand Riskified’s value proposition, technology, and our place within the payments, eCommerce, and fraud technology space
• Must be able to collaborate with individuals at all levels of the organization - we work in a very open and collaborative environment and love people who bring their ideas and ambition with them every day
• Ability to work in a fast-paced sales environment with a degree of self-sufficiency
• Attention to detail with strong verbal and written communication skills
