  • Drive the Pipeline: Schedule high-quality meetings for our Account Executives and manage your workflow using SalesLoft, Salesforce, and ZoomInfo.

  • AI-Forward Prospecting: Use AI and research tools to stay informed on legislative trends and automate the "administrative drag" of prospecting.

  • Collaborate: Partner closely with Marketing to align your outreach with global campaigns and company-wide objectives.

About You

  • The Experience: You have 2+ years of BDR experience specifically within the Public Sector space.

  • The Results-Driver: You have a demonstrated track record of hitting or exceeding high-volume outreach quotas.

  • The Communicator: You have excellent written skills and the ability to build meaningful relationships through curiosity and active listening.

  • The Tech-Forward Learner: You are comfortable with Salesforce and Salesloft, and you have a strong desire to master the art of B2B software sales.

  • The Self-Starter: You can prioritize tasks and solve problems independently while thriving in a fast-paced, collaborative team.

Our Work Environment

  • We are an AI-forward team—AI is built into how we work, think, and grow.

  • We are a remote-friendly team with flexible work options: work remotely or, if you're in the area, choose to visit our vibrant, sunlit space in our modern, open-concept office in Washington, D.C.

  • Our office building is located in the heart of downtown DC, easily accessible by metro, bus, and rideshares. It is also in close proximity to great restaurants, food trucks, shopping, and popular happy hour spots.

Quorum Is Working to Advance Pay Equity: What Does That Mean For You?

In an effort to continue to build a diverse and inclusive work environment that advances pay equity, Quorum has implemented a “No Negotiation” policy for base salary for new hires for roles that are currently staffed by three or more team members. This means that candidates for the Account Manager role cannot negotiate Quorum’s base salary offer.

Here’s our promise to you:

  • We will not ask you what you are currently earning.

  • We will consider years of relevant experience, relevant professional certifications/education, and performance expectations in setting what we believe is a competitive, fair base salary offer.

  • We will be transparent about our compensation structure (see above) so that all candidates have equal access to compensation information and can make an informed decision about whether or not Quorum is the right workplace for them.

If you are interested in learning more about how negotiation impacts pay equity and/or why other start-ups have decided to implement a “No Negotiation” policy of some type, here are a few resources: Project Include, AAUW, Magoosh.

Note: Quorum does not endorse or verify any of the information provided in the resources on the impact of negotiation on pay equity. We provide these resources simply to increase awareness of a topic we believe is important for both employers and candidates to consider.

We comply with all requirements for US government federal contractors issued by the OFCCP, IFR, and the terms of our government contracts.
