Kyckr is an innovative and rapidly scaling SaaS and data company, providing business verification services to Financial Crime teams in banks, law firms, payments providers, and other regulated entities.Following a sustained increase in the volume of qualified inbound sales leads, we’re now looking for a dynamic and consultative Business Development Manager to own all inbound demand at Kyckr. You will be accountable for converting inbound interest into qualified, activated revenue, protecting senior account managers from poor-fit deals and premature hand-offs.  This role will be the true front door of Kyckr's revenue engine- as such, we're looking for a professional, personable and fast thinking BDM with excellent qualification and activation skills. Given our usage-based revenue model- you can expect to say 'no' to opportunities as much as we say 'yes'. Success is defined by quality of revenue activated, not by number of leads qualified.

Rapidly assess: 

  • Use case legitimacy 
  • Expected usage profile

Manage commercial discussions through to agreement for:

Own inbound-sourced accounts until: 
            Usage is live. 
            A predictable run rate is visible. 
Ensure deals are not handed off while fragile, unclear, or mis-scoped. 

Formal account handoff  
Initiate handoffs to the relevant account manager by segment.

  • Commercial context 
  • Known risks or constraints
