Business Development Representative

Who we are:

Guidewheel is on a mission to empower all the world’s factories to reach sustainable peak performance. We live in a world where you can check the weather of any city or the score of any football game from your phone—so why can’t we get that same instant, automated, and smart visibility into the factory floor? Guidewheel has found a way to illuminate those blind spots at scale by starting with a simple truth: every machine–regardless of make, model, or age–uses power. We first clip a sensor around the power draw of any machine (like a FitBit™ for Factories) to read the machine’s electrical “heartbeat,” and then can layer on additional functionality to empower manufacturers to improve productivity of their existing plants and machines by up to 2X—while simultaneously reducing energy cost and emissions by 15-20%. Founded out of Stanford and backed by top investors including Greycroft, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, and BlackRock and Temasek's Decarbonization Partners fund, Guidewheel is scaling fast, already successful with 300+ manufacturers including Johnson & Johnson, General Motors, and Coca-Cola FEMSA, and recognized by the World Economic Forum as one of the top companies globally poised to change business and society. We have strong momentum and alignment around our mission, investor support, and a culture that values diversity, a growth mindset, and results.

What we value:

• Integrity matters: We are honest, straightforward and sincere. With each other. With our investors. With our customers.
• We (actually) care: About each other. About fighting climate change. About making a real impact.
• We use data to make decisions: We possess the courage to accept “hard truths” and confront challenges head-on.
• The power of growth mindset is real: We strive to be the best we can be. We are committed to embracing change and expanding our capabilities.
• Results-driven with a bias for action. We are thoughtful and fast.
• Adaptable and resilient: Guidewheelers have grit. We thrive in fast-paced environments and aren’t afraid to take on hard things or embrace feedback and continuous improvement. We come through for our customers and teammates.
• Extreme teamwork. “No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it.” — H.E. Luccock

What you’ll do:

We’re a fast-growing start-up—so although the below are your primary responsibilities, we look for teammates who are constantly looking for more: More ways to better themselves, the company, and those around them.

• Sourcing new business opportunities and driving revenue through outbound prospecting efforts via cold calling, email campaigns, and other channels. Be incentivized to hit daily, weekly, and monthly Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
• Partnering with our marketing, sales, customer success and revenue operations teams to source new business and fuel our growth.
