Business Development Representative (EMEA)

✨ One platform, a whole world of opportunity
The best jobs have always clustered in a handful of the world's wealthiest cities. But talent is everywhere. Oyster set out to close that gap - building a global employment platform that lets companies hire, pay, and care for brilliant people anywhere.
We're proof that a high-performing culture doesn't need an office. Distributed across 60+ countries since 2020, we've built something the industry keeps noticing:

And we're just getting started. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who care as much as you do, we'd love for you to apply.
The Role
Location:
While this position is posted in a specific location, all of Oyster’s positions are fully remote and you can work from home. Forever. To create the best experience for our new hire, this role requires you to be currently based within the EMEA region.
At Oyster, we’re on a mission to create a more equal world by making it possible for companies everywhere to hire people anywhere.
Joining as a Business Development Representative (BDR) is your chance to break into tech sales and build a career with real growth potential. From day one, you will be supported by dedicated sales enablement, training, and coaching programs designed to help you succeed and grow.
You will learn how to master outreach, qualify leads, and build relationships that drive business results — all while working with top-tier sales tools like Salesforce, Salesloft, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
You won’t be on your own. You will be surrounded by Business Development leaders, experienced Sales Executives, Revenue Operations experts, and an Enablement team that will invest in your development every step of the way.
This is an opportunity to learn fast, make an impact, and grow in a global, high-performing sales environment. If you are curious, ambitious, and ready to develop your career in tech sales, we’d love to hear from you.
