Business Development Representative at Opal Security (San Francisco, CA)
Opal Security· San Francisco, CA·
Role details
Job description
The Role
Our BDRs are often the first voice prospects hear from Opal Security. Your job is to turn curiosity into real interest — helping potential customers understand how Opal solves the identity and access governance challenges they're facing today.
This is an allbound role. You'll move quickly on inbound while running thoughtful, targeted outbound across key accounts. We're a conversation-first sales org - real pipeline comes from meaningful dialogue with the right people, not volume.
BDRs at Opal operate with the kind of account ownership and autonomy that mirrors how our AEs work. That's intentional. We're developing Opal's next generation of closers.
What You'll Do
Partner with AEs to identify and qualify strong opportunities; work with marketing to sharpen messaging; stay close to product so you deeply understand what Opal solves today and where we're headed. Represent Opal at events, experiment constantly with outreach, and build real relationships from the first touchpoint.
You Might Be a Fit If You
- Are a natural storyteller who can uncover the security problems keeping prospects up at night — and articulate how Opal solves them
- Are comfortable with modern sales tools: Nooks, Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, Hockeystack
- Are intellectually curious and able to get your head around complex identity infrastructure and enterprise security challenges
- Bring grit, resilience, and empathy to every interaction
- Take ownership — you don't wait to be told what to do
Why work at Opal Security
- Hybrid work model: Offices in San Francisco (HQ) and New York; employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work.
- Fast-growing startup backed by top-tier VCs (Greylock, Battery Ventures) with significant momentum and market recognition.
- Mission-driven security work: Opportunity to solve hard problems in identity security, especially at the intersection of AI and access control.
- Cutting-edge technology: Work on AI-native policy engines, large-scale access graphs, and integrations with hundreds of platforms.
- Strong engineering culture with leadership from experienced executives (ex-Meta, ex-Veza, ex-Cisco, ex-Palo Alto Networks).
- Open roles (as of mid-2026): Software Engineer, Engineering Manager, Product Manager, Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Enterprise Account Executive, Technical Customer Success Manager, Application Security Engineer, and more.
