Relay is a digital banking platform that gives self-made business owners the tools and know-how to be great with money—bringing clarity, confidence, and control to every dollar earned, so they can turn hard work into lasting success. We do this by replacing financial guesswork with real visibility, transforming cash flow from a constant source of stress into a clear signal owners can use to run stronger, more resilient businesses.

As a Business Development Representative, you will own the first sales conversation with prospective customers. You’ll connect directly with business owners to understand how their business operates, uncover their needs and challenges, and introduce how Relay can support them.

This is not just a qualification role. You will learn how each prospect and their business operates, apply value selling frameworks to your conversation, handle objections, and help them understand where Relay may fit - creating a strong handoff to an Account Executive.

Our sales motion is still being built. Processes, lead sources, and priorities will change as we learn. We are looking for someone who can perform within that environment, thrives in an ever-changing environment, and helps make it better.
