Who we are:
Action1 is an autonomous endpoint management platform trusted by many Fortune 500 companies. Cloud-native, infinitely scalable, highly secure, and configurable in 5 minutes—it just works and is always free for the first 200 endpoints, with no functional limits. By pioneering autonomous OS and third-party patching with peer-to-peer patch distribution and real-time vulnerability assessment without needing a VPN, it eliminates routine labor, preempts ransomware and security risks, and protects the digital employee experience.
In 2025, Action1 was recognized by Inc. 5000 as the fastest-growing private software company in America. The company is founder-led by Alex Vovk and Mike Walters, American entrepreneurs who previously founded Netwrix, a multi-billion-dollar cybersecurity company.
Introduction:
As a key member of Action1’s Business Development team, you’ll play a critical role in fueling Action1’s growth by owning the top of the sales funnel. This is an early-stage, high-impact position where you’ll help shape how outbound works at Action1. You’ll be expected to operate in a scrappy, startup environment, test new approaches, and contribute ideas—not just follow a playbook.
If you’re someone who thrives with structure already in place, this likely isn’t the right fit. If you’re energized by building, experimenting, and figuring things out, you’ll do well here.

- Prospect into target accounts through a high-volume outbound motion (calls, email, LinkedIn)
- Prioritize and qualify leads based on defined ICP (200+ endpoints focus)
- Conduct cold outreach, with a strong emphasis on cold calling
- Identify and engage the right personas within accounts
- Collaborate with AEs to generate qualified pipeline
- Research accounts and craft thoughtful, personalized messaging
- Test and iterate on outreach strategies, messaging, and workflows
- Contribute ideas to improve team processes, tooling, and approach
- Maintain accurate activity tracking and pipeline hygiene in CRM
Requirements
- 6–12 months of BDR/SDR experience (inbound + outbound)
- Strong cold calling skills and comfort picking up the phone
- Experience with lead qualification and account research
- Exposure to cybersecurity, IT, or SaaS (preferred)
- Ability to work in a scrappy, startup environment—not dependent on tools or rigid processes
- Curious, adaptable, and willing to test new approaches
- Team-oriented with a no-ego, collaborative mindset
- We are seeking candidates who can start as soon as possible due to business needs
Benefits
- A collaborative environment encouraging you to own your domain and implement best practices
- Stable income, benefits, flexible working hours, and opportunities for promotion.
