About Overview.ai
Overview.ai builds next-generation computer vision systems for advanced manufacturing. Our AI-powered smart cameras detect defects faster and more accurately than any other solution in the market, helping leading electronics, aerospace, and life-sciences manufacturers improve yield and quality in real time.
Backed by top-tier investors, we’re scaling fast across North America and Europe. If you want to sell a product that actually changes how factories run, this is your opportunity to join a category-defining company early.

The Role
We’re looking for a driven, curious, and disciplined Business Development Representative (BDR) to help us grow our footprint in the manufacturing sector. You’ll be the first line of communication with future customers — identifying prospects, starting conversations, and creating qualified pipeline for our Account Executives.
This is not a smile-and-dial role. It’s about insight-driven selling: understanding complex manufacturing challenges, mapping them to our technology, and positioning Overview.ai as the partner that can solve them.

What You’ll Do

• Identify, research, and engage new manufacturing prospects using phone, email, and LinkedIn.

• Qualify inbound and outbound leads, and schedule discovery calls and demos for AEs.

• Partner with marketing to refine messaging and campaigns that resonate with engineers and operations leaders.

• Track all outreach and insights in HubSpot — precision and consistency matter here.

• Stay sharp on industry trends, emerging automation technologies, and competitor movements.

• Hit and exceed activity and pipeline goals — while contributing ideas to improve the process.

What We’re Looking For

• Top performer in prior sales or BDR roles, ideally in tech, SaaS, and manufacturing.

• Strong commercial instincts — you can identify pain points and connect them to value fast.

• Confident communicator across multiple channels and seniority levels.

• Grit, organization, and follow-through. You close loops, not leave threads.

• Deep curiosity about technology, manufacturing, and AI — you want to learn, fast.

• Experience with HubSpot, ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, or Nooks is a plus.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.

Why Overview.ai

• Unlimited PTO – we care about results, not hours.

• Comprehensive health benefits – medical, dental, and vision.

• Remote-first flexibility – work anywhere with a stable network.

• Direct access to leadership – collaborate with founders and senior execs.

• Career acceleration – be part of a team that scales fast and promotes from within.

We move fast, aim high, and celebrate measurable outcomes. If you’re competitive, analytical, and excited by cutting-edge tech — you’ll fit right in.
Join us. Help define the future of vision-driven manufacturing.
