Business Development Representative

Coverflex

Work changed. Pay didn't.

Coverflex exists to make compensation work for everyone.
Pay is still rigid, fragmented, and hard to feel.
We turn compensation into choice — one platform, one card, one app — for benefits, meal allowance, insurance and more.

Our platform is simple for HR and meaningful for employees.
We provide choice, smarter compensation tools and empowerment.

TL;DR (The Essentials)

Seniority Level: Junior
Type: Individual Contributor

Your Impact

Your role will play a major role in our success because you'll be one of the first BDRs dedicated to the Italian market, directly fueling our sales pipeline and revenue growth.

You'll be the engine behind new opportunities — opening doors, creating conversations, and ensuring our Account Executives spend their time on high-quality, well-qualified meetings.

You'll know you're successful when, after 90 days, you've:

• Built a strong outbound rhythm with consistent, high-quality activity

• Started booking qualified meetings for AEs

• Become autonomous in prospecting, CRM hygiene, and handover

How we'll measure success:

• Main KPI 1: Number of outbound activities (calls)

• Main KPI 2: Number of meetings booked (SQL)

• Main KPI 3: Number of qualified meetings (SAL)

• Secondary KPI 1: Pipeline and revenue influenced

• Secondary KPI 2: CRM data quality and feedback loops

Reality Check - What Makes This Role Hard

Let's be real — here's what makes this role challenging:

• High volume of outreach with frequent rejection

• A strong focus on phone-based prospecting (cold calls are key)

• You need resilience, consistency, and energy — even on hard days

• You'll be measured on inputs and outputs, not just effort

• Fast feedback loops: you'll constantly adapt based on results

This role is not about comfort — it's about growth, grit, and momentum.

YouMust-haves (evidence, not years)

• Iterative, curious, and entrepreneurial mindset — you bring solutions, not just problems

• Self-driven, proactive, and motivated to continuously improve

• Outcome-focused: "good enough" beats perfect, impact beats process

• You're not afraid of hearing "no" — and you don't take it personally

• You find new ways in when the obvious path is blocked

• Fluent Italian (C2 / native) and fluent English

• Strong verbal communication skills

Nice-to-have

• Solid CRM usage habits (HubSpot experience is a plus)

• Exposure to tech, HR, finance, or benefits-related ICPs

• SMB outbound sales experience

• Benefits market knowledge

Your DNA

• Proactive, energetic, and resilient

• Persuasive without being aggressive

• Comfortable handling objections and pushback

• Calm and grounded

• Coachable and open to continuous feedback

You'll probably find this frustrating if…

• You lack ambition

• You struggle with feedback

• You give up easily after rejection

• You prefer low-activity, low-pressure roles

No discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender identity/expression, marital or family status, pregnancy, neurodivergence, race/ethnicity, religion/belief, gender, sexual orientation, or any other protected ground.

Assessment fairness:
We anchor on evidence of outcomes (what you shipped, moved, or influenced).
We actively de-bias by using structured rubrics, multiple assessors, and blind screening most of the time  (we won't know your name, gender, or personal info until the interview stage).

Application Clarity

No cover letter required.
Apply with your LinkedIn or upload your CV.
You may be asked a few short, relevant questions.

Total candidate time investment: ~1.45–2 hours end-to-end.

AI & Hiring Tools Transparency

We use a few tools to reduce bias and improve documentation, not to make hiring decisions.

• Teamtailor anonymisation: profiles are reviewed without relying on names/personal identifiers.

• Meeting recorder (e.g., ): may be used to capture interviews so we can focus on the conversation.

• ChatGPT: may be used to turn interview notes/transcripts into clear, structured summaries.

Important: every application is reviewed by a human, and no decision or rejection is made by AI. If recording is used, we'll be transparent and (where required) ask for consent.

Speed & Communication

• Decision: within 4 weeks of your application.

• Updates: weekly if the process runs longer.

• Scheduling: interviews between 10:00–16:00 CET (flexible across Europe).

Feedback: from the Case stage onwards, you'll always receive written or verbal feedback - what went well, and what to strengthen next time.
