Business Development Representative (BDR) 

At Klaviyo, our mission is to help businesses own their growth. We empower creators, entrepreneurs, and e-commerce brands to build meaningful relationships with their customers through powerful data, automation, and marketing tools. As a Business Development Representative (BDR), you’ll be a key part of bringing that mission to life—introducing eCommerce brands to the Klaviyo platform, setting the foundation for long-term success.

BDRs take a proactive approach—researching and reaching out to brands who haven’t yet engaged with us. You’ll build a pipeline through cold outreach, strategic prospecting, and compelling messaging. This track requires grit, creativity, and resilience to open doors and create new opportunities.
