Business Development Representative (BDR)
🧡 Coverflex
Work changed. Pay didn’t.
Coverflex exists to make compensation work for everyone.
Pay is still rigid, fragmented, and hard to feel.
We turn compensation into choice — one platform, one card, one app — for benefits, meal allowance, insurance and more.
Our platform is simple for HR and meaningful for employees.
We provide choice, smarter compensation tools and empowerment.

💥 Your Impact
Your role will play a major role in our success because you’ll be one of the first BDRs dedicated to the Italian market, directly fueling our sales pipeline and revenue growth.
You’ll be the engine behind new opportunities — opening doors, creating conversations, and ensuring our Account Executives spend their time on high-quality, well-qualified meetings.

Secondary KPI 2: CRM data quality and feedback loops
⚡ Reality Check - What Makes This Role Hard
Let’s be real — here’s what makes this role challenging:
High volume of outreach with frequent rejection
A strong focus on phone-based prospecting (cold calls are key)
You need resilience, consistency, and energy — even on hard days
You’ll be measured on inputs and outputs, not just effort
Fast feedback loops: you’ll constantly adapt based on results
This role is not about comfort — it’s about growth, grit, and momentum.
👤 You
Must-haves (evidence, not years)
Iterative, curious, and entrepreneurial mindset — you bring solutions, not just problems
Self-driven, proactive, and motivated to continuously improve
Outcome-focused: “good enough” beats perfect, impact beats process
You’re not afraid of hearing “no” — and you don’t take it personally
You find new ways in when the obvious path is blocked
Fluent Italian (C2 / native) and fluent English
Strong verbal communication skills
Nice-to-have
Solid CRM usage habits (HubSpot experience is a plus)
Exposure to tech, HR, finance, or benefits-related ICPs
SMB outbound sales experience
Benefits market knowledge
🧬 Your DNA
Proactive, energetic, and resilient
Persuasive without being aggressive
Comfortable handling objections and pushback
Calm and grounded
Coachable and open to continuous feedback
You’ll probably find this frustrating if…
You lack ambition
You struggle with feedback
You give up easily after rejection
You prefer low-activity, low-pressure roles

💜 Access & Belonging (Equal Opportunity)
We hire for impact and potential, not pedigree.
We welcome applications from people with non-linear careers, career breaks, caregiving gaps, and those changing fields.
No discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender identity/expression, marital or family status, pregnancy, neurodivergence, race/ethnicity, religion/belief, gender, sexual orientation, or any other protected ground.
Assessment fairness:
We anchor on evidence of outcomes (what you shipped, moved, or influenced).
We actively de-bias by using structured rubrics, multiple assessors, and blind screening most of the time (we won’t know your name, gender, or personal info until the interview stage).
📬 Application Clarity
No cover letter required.
Apply with your LinkedIn or upload your CV.
You may be asked a few short, relevant questions.
Total candidate time investment: ~1.45–2 hours end-to-end.
🧩 Hiring Stages (What to Expect, Why & How Long)
1. CV / LinkedIn Screen — Signal check vs must-haves
Done by People + Hiring Manager.
You’ll hear from us within 7 business days.
2. Role-Fit Questionnaire (async)
Purpose: capture signals your CV can’t (languages, tools, scenario judgement).
Format: short answers.
Accessibility: prefer a call? Tell us - we’ll swap for a short chat.
3. Quick Interview (Intro Call) - Mutual fit & context • 30 min

With Andrea Guffanti.
Optional: References (2–3 people who’ve seen your recent work) - async.
🤖 AI & Hiring Tools Transparency
We use a few tools to reduce bias and improve documentation, not to make hiring decisions.
Teamtailor anonymisation: profiles are reviewed without relying on names/personal identifiers.
Meeting recorder (e.g., Talka.ai): may be used to capture interviews so we can focus on the conversation.
ChatGPT: may be used to turn interview notes/transcripts into clear, structured summaries.
Important: every application is reviewed by a human, and no decision or rejection is made by AI. If recording is used, we’ll be transparent and (where required) ask for consent.
⏱️ Speed & Communication
Decision: within 4 weeks of your application.
Updates: weekly if the process runs longer.
Scheduling: interviews between 10:00–16:00 CET (flexible across Europe).
Feedback: from the Case stage onwards, you’ll always receive written or verbal feedback - what went well, and what to strengthen next time.
