Business Development Representative, Mea

Notion Notion · Enterprise · Dublin, Ireland · Business Development

Notion is seeking a Business Development Representative (BDR) for their MEA region, based in Dublin. This role is focused on identifying and targeting high-potential accounts, generating qualified pipeline, and conducting initial qualification for workflow-first, build-ready opportunities. The BDR will partner with Solutions Consultants and use multi-channel outbound campaigns to secure initial meetings. The role emphasizes a workflow-first, builder-led go-to-market motion and requires fluency in Arabic. While not requiring deep AI expertise, candidates should be curious about AI and willing to adopt AI tools.

What you'd actually do

  1. Generate qualified, workflow-first pipeline by identifying and targeting high-potential accounts in your assigned book, partnering with your sellers on account and outbound strategy
  2. Run multi-channel outbound campaigns—email, phone, LinkedIn, and events—to create urgency and secure first meetings with the right decision-makers
  3. Conduct initial qualification to ensure meetings handed to sellers are "ready to build," not just "ready to talk"—validating ICP, intent, and workflow fit before the handoff
  4. Document and deliver clean handoff packets in Salesforce with ICP signals, pain points, workflow hypothesis, and stakeholder context so sellers can hit the ground running
  5. Leverage GTM System tooling and intent data to sharpen targeting, prioritize accounts by signal strength, and increase the quality and consistency of your outbound motion
