We're looking for a Business Development Representative to generate qualified pipeline and drive institutional partnerships across EdVisorly's growing college and university network.
As EdVisorly's BDR, you'll sit at the intersection of sales, marketing, and partnerships — and you'll be the first conversation we have with institutions. You'll engage college and university decision-makers through strategic outbound, translating enrollment trends and market signals into compelling, personalized outreach that opens doors for our Partnerships team.
This role is ideal for an early-career professional who thrives on clear goals and measurable outcomes, loves crafting messaging that earns attention from busy people, and wants to build deep expertise in the higher education market. There is strong opportunity for this role to grow into a Director of Partnerships, Partnership Success, or Marketing position as EdVisorly scales.
What You'll Do:
Generate qualified meetings with decision-makers across Admissions, Enrollment, Registrar, Transfer, Advising, and Student Success at colleges and universities
Build and maintain targeted account lists aligned to EdVisorly's ideal customer profile
Translate enrollment trends, policy changes, and market signals into personalized, compelling outreach
Execute multi-channel outbound cadences (email, cold calling, LinkedIn) with discipline and consistency
Maintain 100% CRM accuracy and contribute to pipeline reviews with the Director of Partnerships
Feed market intelligence back to Marketing and Partnerships to sharpen our go-to-market strategy
Help build the repeatable prospecting playbooks and workflows that scale with us
Convert inbound leads from webinars, conferences, campaigns, and referrals into qualified meetings in partnership with the Partnerships and Marketing teams
Engage decision-makers across Admissions, Enrollment Management, Registrar, Transfer, Advising, and Student Success functions at colleges and universities nationwide

✅ You are an effective async communicator who thrives in a remote, fast-moving environment
