Business Development Representative – Shopper Experience

At SPINS, our mission is to increase the presence and accessibility of better-for-you products in the marketplace. We power data-driven growth for brands, retailers, and partners across the CPG ecosystem, helping them make smarter decisions and stay ahead of industry trends.

Our Sales Team culture is grounded in three core values: Purposeful, Collaborative, and Curious—these shape the way we work, connect, and grow every day. Whether you're diving into the latest retail media trends or reaching out to the next breakout brand, these values guide every conversation.

The Business Development Representative team is SPINS’ engine that drives pipeline and growth. We’re the first point of contact for potential customers, sparking conversations, identifying pain points, and setting the stage for strong, lasting partnerships.

We’re seeking a proactive and motivated Business Development Representative (BDR) to help power the growth of our shopper media platform by identifying and qualifying new sales opportunities. This role is crucial in supporting our Shopper Experience sales team by generating leads and setting meetings with key stakeholders at CPG manufacturers and the agencies that serve them.

As the first point of contact for many of our future clients, you'll play a critical role in communicating the value of our platform, engaging key decision-makers, and fueling our sales pipeline with high-quality opportunities.

Job Duties And Responsibilities

  • Lead Generation – Prospect and identify new business opportunities within CPG brand marketing teams and marketing/media agencies that support shopper marketing and retail media.

  • Discovery & Qualification – Conduct initial discovery calls to understand potential client needs and determine fit based on defined qualification criteria.
  • Market Intelligence – Stay up to date on shopper marketing trends, retail media innovation, and key players in the CPG space to inform outreach strategy.
  • CRM Management – Log activities, track lead progress, and maintain accurate records in Salesforce (or other CRM systems).
  • Collaboration & Handoff – Partner with the Shopper Experience sales team to coordinate handoffs, support follow-ups, and continuously improve lead qualification criteria.
  • Feedback Loop – Share insights from prospect conversations with marketing and product teams to inform messaging, campaigns, and product development.
  • Industry Events – Attend trade shows and conferences to network, generate leads, and cultivate interest in SPINS’ shopper media offerings

Education And Experience

  • 1–2 years of experience in a sales, business development, or lead generation role (ideally within Ad Tech, Mar Tech, CPG, retail media, or agency landscape).
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills – you know how to get people’s attention and build rapport quickly.
  • Growth mindset and willing to experiment with new ideas and approaches to garner interest
  • Comfortable engaging both brand-side marketers and agency partners, with a solid understanding of how they operate.
  • Proficiency with CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce), outreach platforms (e.g., Outreach, Salesloft), and lead generation tools (e.g., LinkedIn Sales Navigator).
  • Self-starter mentality with a curiosity for the evolving digital marketing and retail media space.
  • Goal-oriented with the ability to manage time effectively and work both independently and collaboratively.
