About Bandalier 

Bandalier is a 100% remote, ~30 person team of thoughtful individuals who value kaizen (continuous improvement) and seeing careers take off. 

Our belief is that regardless of where you are located, how much experience you have, or how valuable your personal network is, if you have the right attitude and aptitudes, you should have access to a great career. 

Since 2017, we’ve been connecting untapped talent throughout the country to lucrative opportunities with some of the fastest growing companies in the country. 6 years later we are now in the business of hiring, training, and deploying untapped talent so customer-facing teams can grow faster, with less risk.

What we do

We are in the business of people. Our expertise is finding undiscovered entry level gems, equipping them with a best in class training program and working with them to ramp up to speed faster. 

Clients come to us when they are looking to scale up customer facing teams quickly and de-risk the normal hiring process by working with a partner that specializes in delivering high quality talent. 

Business Development Associate Role

As a Business Development Associate, you will be matched to one of our client accounts, typically with a growing tech company, where you will conduct outreach on behalf of that client. You will perform a mixture of outbound calls, emails, and social touches to warm and cold leads with goals that could range from setting a meeting to signing prospects up for free accounts to getting a signed contract.

Before being matched with an account, you will go through a two week paid training program to learn the fundamentals of sales while we learn about your strengths, weaknesses, and career goals to match them up with the account that we think best fits your skill set. 

Throughout your time at Bandalier, you’ll have a range of development opportunities at your disposal that allows you to continue to uplevel your skills. Examples of these include daily check-ins with your manager, weekly one on one call coaching, company-wide workshops, and access to additional BandalierU courses.  

After your initial deployment, high-performing team members have a range of advancement opportunities available to them within their first 6-12 months at Bandalier. Advancement opportunities could be anything from getting hired directly by your client to pursuing a lucrative exit opportunity with one of the other tech clients in our network, or moving into management at Bandalier (100% of our new hires are managed by team members who also started in an entry level position at Bandalier).
