Business Development Representative

Why This Role Is Special

At Arnata, we’re building something no one else has: the world’s first AI Logistics Manager — an AI Worker that can autonomously run logistics operations at massive scale. It’s like having a 100-person ops team working 24/7.

We are a YC-backed, fast-scaling startup redefining the $1T logistics industry. We are hiring only 3 BDTs this year. This is your chance to work directly with the founder, sell cutting-edge technology that solves real problems, and get in early.

What You’ll Do

• Own outbound: email, LinkedIn, calls — whatever it takes
• Work with the founder & AEs to close strategic accounts
• Book meetings with decision-makers in mid-size logistics companies
• Constantly improve scripts, workflows, and tools

Why This Is a Career Move

• Real training, fast path to AE
• You’ll work with the founder, not managers
• Stock options and early-stage equity
• Join a YC startup backed by top investors
• Sell something real, in a massive market, with huge customer demand
• Path to AE in 6–12 months

You’ll Thrive If You...

• Love the chase (and the close)
• Want to work with world-class operators
• Write clear, sharp, and human messages

Note: This role is in San Francisco and in person. If you don’t live in the city, we will help you relocate.
