Job Description

Business Development Representative @ Gradient Labs

At Gradient Labs, we’re on a mission to make exceptional customer service the norm.

Founded in 2023, we’ve quickly gone from an idea to a growing team with customers you know (and probably love). Our AI agent helps businesses handle even the trickiest, high-stakes customer support queries safely and effectively, all while giving them the visibility and control they need to trust the outcomes.

We’re a small but mighty team of builders from leading companies like Monzo, Pleo, and Google. We work in a hybrid model from our London office, a short walk from Liverpool Street Station, where we collaborate and connect 2-3 days a week. As we grow, we are actively planning to establish a team in NYC to support our expansion.

If you’re excited to tackle some of the hardest problems in AI and help shape the future of customer operations, we’d love to hear from you.

🌟 We're looking for someone who has...

Hunter mentality : Thrives on the opportunity of being a connector and reaching new prospects through creative means, opening doors that others can't

Communication excellence : Writes compelling emails, holds engaging phone conversations, and isn't afraid to pick up the phone

Tech-savvy : Comfortable with modern GTM tools for prospecting (e.g. Clay, Apollo, Hubspot) and an eagerness to learn the latest AI-based technology

Resilient and results-driven : Handles rejection well, stays motivated, and consistently hits activity targets
