The Opportunity

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.

What You’ll Do
  • Identify and reach out to potential clients through research, outbound calls, emails, and LinkedIn.
  • 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.
What You Bring
  • 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!
Why You’ll Love Plug
  • 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
