ABOUT US

++Percent Pledge++ creates customized social impact programs empowering companies of all sizes to support any charity, volunteer in their local communities, and know their impact. Today’s fast-growing companies fiercely compete to engage and retain top talent, and today’s talent cares! Engaging employees in both donating & volunteering reduces turnover 57%, while replacing a full-time employee costs 33% of their annual salary, on average. However, most companies do not have Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) teams. Most companies need easy, sustainable, and engaging social impact programs, which is precisely what we deliver!

In less than three years, we have become the “SMB” social impact experts, built growing client bases in Chicago, NYC, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, and been named one of Built In’s 50 Startups to Watch. To accelerate our continued growth, we are looking to add a driven, passionate BDR to our fully remote force for good.

This role is for the first BDR of our fast-growing sales force. As the first BDR, this individual will have the opportunity to help shape business development - and the BDR role - into the future, while also getting in early with a successful startup and growing force for good.

• Setting new meetings (i.e. prospecting) for the sales team through a variety of mediums, including cold calling, emailing, and LinkedIn outreach.
