Business Development Representative

Steelhead Technologies
Brighton, MI Full Time
POSTED ON 10/2/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/29/2026
Steelhead Technologies is on a mission to build the ERP that powers manufacturing. Our cloud-based platform is purpose-built for job shops — the powder coaters, platers, anodizers, heat treaters, and fabricators at the heartbeat of manufacturing. We give shops real-time visibility into their operations, eliminate paper-based inefficiencies, and bring AI to the shop floor through features like automated order entry and intelligent reporting.

Our vision is simple: move manufacturing forward. Everything we build is in service of our north star — shops using Steelhead.

Our Values

Customer Obsession - Create dream outcomes for customers.

Relentless Curiosity - Understand from first principles.

Integrity - Everything we do is built on trust.

Ownership - Success is not an accident

Conviction - Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right.

About The Role

  • As a BDR, you’ll be the first point of contact with prospective customers. You’ll run high-volume outreach (calls, emails, social), qualify prospects, and book meetings that move deals forward. This isn’t just another entry-level sales role — you’ll gain exposure to the full spectrum of business operations and open doors to accelerated career growth.

What You'll Do

  • Prospect and engage job shop manufacturers through outbound calls, emails, and social channels
  • Qualify leads and set meetings for the sales team
  • Build relationships through consistent, value-driven follow-up
  • Run discovery calls to uncover prospect pain points
  • Keep CRM records clean and accurate
  • Hit and exceed weekly and monthly outreach goals

How You’ll Grow

  • Learn the ins and outs of manufacturing technology, business acumen, and ERP systems
  • Develop core sales skills that set you up for success as an Account Executive or future leader
  • Get hands-on coaching and mentorship from sales leadership
  • Play a key role in shaping our outbound strategy as we scale

What We Are Looking For

  • 0–2 years of experience in sales or business development (SaaS or manufacturing a plus)
  • Comfortable running outreach, live calls, and discovery conversations
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Resilient, motivated, and comfortable working in a high-activity environment
  • Strong cold calling mindset — not afraid to pick up the phone
  • Experience with CRM tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.) preferred

What We Offer

  • Competitive base salary uncapped commission potential
  • Equity Appreciation Rights — share in the growth you help drive
  • Benefits package and professional development opportunities
  • A dynamic, collaborative, and supportive culture
  • Clear career paths into AE or leadership roles
