About the role

Company Overview: ATÍCO partners with early-stage cybersecurity, AI, and infrastructure companies, as well as venture capital firms, to design and execute effective enterprise go-to-market strategies. We primarily support companies from angel-backed stages through Series B as they validate product-market fit, develop early revenue, and build repeatable paths to growth. Led by experienced sales, marketing, and customer success executives, ATÍCO works hands-on with founders to refine positioning, identify target markets, engage enterprise buyers, and advance qualified opportunities. Our services include enterprise selling, staff augmentation, market evaluations, design-partner programs, customer advisory boards, events, marketing, recruiting, and cybersecurity advisory services. Through our network of enterprise practitioners, advisors, CISOs, CIOs, and other technology leaders, we provide founders with direct market feedback and trusted access to potential buyers. Our Gravity Selling approach creates momentum by aligning each client's platform with the right market segments, business problems, and decision-makers. At ATÍCO, you will gain direct exposure to startup CEOs, technical founders, enterprise executives, and emerging technologies long before they become mainstream.
Position Overview: We are looking for a Business Development Representative to generate qualified pipeline and support go-to-market execution across ATÍCO's portfolio. Your primary responsibility will be building relationships and scheduling qualified discovery meetings with enterprise security and IT leaders. You will conduct thoughtful account research, identify relevant prospects, and engage them through phone, email, LinkedIn, events, referrals, and other channels. You will represent ATÍCO rather than a single product, while developing a strong working knowledge of our portfolio companies, their value propositions, and their target markets. Your role is to understand what enterprise leaders are working on, identify where emerging technology may be relevant, and create the right conversations between buyers and founders. This is not a transactional appointment-setting position. You will own the meeting through the initial discovery call, including research, qualification, internal preparation, participation, CRM documentation, and follow-up. You will report directly to ATÍCO's Innovation Director and receive hands-on coaching in enterprise prospecting, cybersecurity, emerging technology, executive engagement, and opportunity development.

  • Prospect and build relationships with CISOs, CIOs, VPs, Directors, and other enterprise security and IT leaders

Why ATÍCOMost BDRs promote one product to one buyer profile. At ATÍCO, you will develop a broader understanding of the enterprise technology market while helping multiple emerging companies find the right path into large organizations. You will learn how to engage senior executives, uncover meaningful priorities, translate complex technology into business value, and turn early conversations into qualified opportunities. This role is designed for someone who wants to become an excellent enterprise seller and go-to-market operator, not simply someone who wants to book meetings.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
