Über diese Business Development Representative Stelle bei Picus
Picus validates attack surfaces, exposures, and security controls as one continuous loop: validate, decide, fix, re-validate. Instead of ranking findings by severity score, Picus proves which exposures are genuinely exploitable in your environment, including the business-critical, restricted, and air-gapped assets a live exploit can never safely touch, so teams act on what truly matters and resolve each exposure into a clear call to patch, mitigate, monitor, or accept with evidence.
The Picus Platform spans Autonomous Penetration Testing, Exposure Validation, and Breach and Attack Simulation, unified by Picus Swarm, a swarm of AI agents that runs the whole validation loop continuously. It reaches across on-prem, hybrid cloud, and endpoint environments, with 75+ integrations that ingest from scanners like Tenable and Wiz and operationalize through your EDR, SIEM, firewall, and ticketing tools.
The pioneer of Breach and Attack Simulation, Picus proves and improves the security controls you already own, doubling control effectiveness within three months. Picus holds a 95% recommendation rate, 4.9 on G2, and 4.8 on Gartner Peer Insights, and is the #1 Leader on Frost Radar for Automated Security Validation.
About The Role
As a Business Development Representative for Europe, you will create a qualified pipeline for our Account Executives across the region. You will convert inbound demand, run signal-based outbound into priority accounts, and build the prospecting processes that make this repeatable.
This role suits someone who enjoys both the conversation and the system behind it. You will use Apollo, Clay, and Salesforce not only to prospect but to design how prospecting works: how lists are built, how accounts are enriched and prioritized, and how every follow-up gets done. You will sit in Sales Operations and work closely with Account Executives, Marketing, and channel partners. Your primary measure of success is sales-sourced qualified pipeline.

-Build the prospecting engine:
- Design, document and improve prospecting processes across GTM tools from list building and enrichment to prioritization, routing and sequencing
- Build and maintain target account and contact lists, keeping data accurate and complete
- Set up enrichment workflows that surface buying signals automatically and feed them into outreach
- Replace manual, repetitive steps with repeatable workflows the wider team can reuse
-Run a tight operating cadence:
- Own a disciplined daily task list so every follow-up, sequence step and handover happens on time
- Hold regular reviews with each Account Executive on target account progress, open opportunities and next steps
- Track engagement across your target account list and re-engage accounts as new signals appear
- Collaborate with Sales and Marketing on campaign and account strategy
- Support Account Executives through the sales cycle to help close deals
- Keep Salesforce activity and qualification data accurate so pipeline is visible and forecastable
- Work with channel partners on joint prospecting where relevant
What You Bring
- 2+ years as a BDR or SDR at a cybersecurity vendor, selling to security buyers

- Demonstrated success in prospecting, including booking qualified meetings with enterprise prospects through outbound
- Hands-on experience with AI and GTM tools such as Claude, Apollo and Clay etc. using them daily for research, enrichment, personalization and workflow automation and document it so others can follow
- Strong task management: you run your day from a clear task list and nothing falls through the cracks
- Self-motivated, with a strong work ethic and high integrity
