Sales Development Representative

Do you want to join a Fin-tech startup at the ground level for an amazing growth opportunity? We just raised a round of investment capital and it’s time to grow! Be the first to join our Sales & Business Development team; projected to have 15 members by end of 2019.

About US: Founded in 2015 by college roommates Sean De Clercq and Erik Straub, Kickfurther is disrupting the world of retail/ecommerce business financing. This crowd-financed model breaks away from traditional Factoring and PO-financing in a way that enables growing small to medium size consumer goods businesses to raise capital so they can produce inventory. Kickfurther is a Boomtown 2015 and 43North 2018 Alumni, has raised $5MM from investors including Tim Draper and Bill Tai, and has funded over $28MM for its clients since launch.

Ever wonder what happens when a company gets their largest order ever from someone like REI or their Amazon sales are through the roof? How do they pay for all the inventory to meet the demand of these sales channels? Sometimes they don’t have the money and miss out on a game-changing opportunity. Other times, they resort to giving up significant equity or take on exorbitantly high debt just to produce their stuff. This is where we come in…

Kickfurther created a model to help business owners affordably raise funds for inventory to grow their business with the added benefit of thousands of community members who are eager to back them and help them grow.

About YOU: We are looking for someone who hustles HARD and is going to help us drive new business. This is a complex financial product that requires creative problem-solving and customization for each client.

Here’s what you’ll do:

• Work with company owners and executives to understand funding needs and business qualifications
• Engage in email/phone conversations to qualify and propel leads through the sales process
• Be part of our ongoing product-optimization efforts to improve the client experience
• Write and manage content for email marketing, social media, and blog posts
• Interface directly with our QC, dev, legal, and leadership team members to be a cohesive and lean growth machine

Qualifications:

• Degree in finance, marketing, business operations, or supply chain. It can also be something completely unrelated, but we want to see that you work hard and learn fast
• 1+ years in a client service, sales/biz dev, advertising, or project management role
• Very strong written and oral skills with the ability to explain complex topics to people with varied backgrounds (our clients are all very good at doing what they do, but they are not always experts at inventory financing)
• Skillful with CRMs, excel, and other new tech/applications
• Ability to perform in a high pressure, startup environment. Working for a startup is not all foosball and kegs. We work hard, but we do have a good time doing it!

You’ll report to our VP of Sales & Biz Dev. Competitive compensation with benefits included. Base + Commission = ~$60k first year with expected performance. Full-time employee with start date ASAP. Kickfurther is an EEOC Employer.
